RE: gpm cricket
I have 3 GMP Crickets, one nitro and the other two converted to electric.
Great tough American helis for what they were in their time and are still are.
It is all in the way you set it up. Parts can be obtained from other similar size helis and with a few mods you will have a much better machine you can fool around with.
If you are not the type to tinker with mechanics, and like nitro helis get one of the more current day CCPM machines.
I have been very fond of GMP as well as LMH made helis because they both are American companies that started small and have produced some very tough little helis.
The Bumble Bee Ver 2 electric Sub-Micro has followed in similar tradition being a tough little heli but electric and a lot smaller.
