I do agree with the other posts that if you have the cash look at the trex. In the end it will be better. You might even look into copterx. There are a number of posts here of people who swear by them saying they rival the trex and some would say are better. Good quality, trex compatible parts, and good price. Save all that extra money for parts

thanks for the copterx tip, found a rtf with everything heli, tx,rx,charger,lipos for 450usd on ebay!! looks like a good heli and has great reviews. thanks again
