You might get a better response if you posted in the Airplane forum instead of the heli forum? http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_148/tt.htm

If it's only 35 bucks, that's less than the cost of our pizza and wings tonight heheh.
The most you can be out is 35 bucks. Or you could put that $ aside and then later .. get a heli!
Or if you already have a heli, ..get another!

(..sorry man, i'm a heli addict)
