if you never flew heli's before,,get the training gear,,, for a couple extra bucks they could and probably will save you from tipping over at take off or from a crash.. why spend money on parts if the training gear could help to avoid it?. some say the heli is a little bit more unstable using them.. but once you get to the point where you can lift off without tipping over then take them off.. save them for your next heli:}

here is an inexpensive set of training gear from the same place to buy the heli.. they make a bigger better set but for a fp heli these are all that you will need.. this 4 dollar purchase will save you a lot more then that.'
