I haven't heard a whole lot on the Quick line of helicopters. I remember talking to a guy in Omaha NE that had a couple of them. I know that there are very few plastic parts on them and the instructions used to be on a CD ROM. No paper! I don't know if it is still this way tho. But I understand it is a very good flying heli. I would still go with what the locals fly and whatever your LHS has parts for. Probably a Raptor.
