RE: gpm cricket
Oh my! Dont get a Cricket. There great colector items but for a first heli you are shurly going to have a mishap and your out'a luck on getting parts save for finding them on ebay. Century sells the hawk sport for $150. Parts are cheap and I flew mine for 3 yrs. Mine was really the first hawk they sold and I paid $200 for it in 1996. Givin that things go up over the years and now you can get one for $150 with all kind of improvements made to it makes it a perfect first copter to cut your teeth on. Why I sold all my hawk stuff and bought the Caliber is something I'll regret for awhile. Mike
