Default Concept 60 purchase advice please

Hard to make a judgement here with no price indicated but I see a few things that cause concern. The 517's are not up to snuff for a 60 size machine, the Heli itself is still useable but somewhat out of date as is the engine and few Helis use rear cone starting anymore - most are top starters now (not too big of an issue). The gyro and tail servo are current and well suited to the Heli. It might be a good Heli to get started with
if it is priced right and if parts for it are still easily available.

Keep in mind many start with a 30 size machine which keeps crash damage costs down.

You will need to do some homework to see how the asking price of this Heli compares with current model similarly equipped Helis and see how the cost benefit ratio works out. Also do you have a JR PCM compatible Transmitter to use for this Heli?
