You're going to end up having the same amount of money tied up in that as you would a .30 size nitro bird. Why not consider getting a combo deal from Century Heli? You can get the Hawk Pro Kit, Futaba 6EXH, digital servos, gyro and OS 32 engine for about the same price as you are gettting ready to pay for the Helimax. Not to mention, supposedly, the larger birds are easier to fly as well. Just a thought. Here's the link to what I am referring to.
