RE: practical ?
honestly yes its the heli not the type
i have had 2 art-tech heli`s and i hate to say this but they were pure junk
ive had exceed heli`s too they to are pure junk
if you want a good 6channel collective pitch heli under 300 us dollar`s id get the esky belt cp v2 alot of good reviews on this heli
im not a fan of heli`s brand that i buy 2 different style`s of and they all turn out to be a total waste of money
e-flite
esky
walkera
align
seem to be the best for qaulity for a budget flier
now this is only MY opinion which comes from many trial and error`s and lots of reading
if you want to spend all your time rebuilding a heli, then get the exceed and art-tech crap.
but me personaly will never buy this junk again
i dont care if its a 500 us dollar heli for 50 dollar`s you`ll spend 3 times the heli`s worth just in repair`s and in repairing faulty parts. its just not worth the hassel
if you notice al most all other heli`s are knock off`s of these heli`s
all most all others, so lets dont get into well this heli`s is this and that heli is that I SAID ALL MOST ALL OTHER HELI`S are knock offs of e-flite,walkera or align
