Yes scale helis are worth it. You have obviously got to take much more care when flying it and its a bit more stressfull, but the sight of it is awsome. speaking of sight, with a scale heli, its much easier to tell the orientation of the heli in flight due to the fuselage. I just got a funkey hughes 500D fuselage for my raptor 50 and I'm very impressed. The quality is outstanding. There is a pic in my gallery, and I will be adding more. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
