building your own is a way to get the best, it's the real RC stuff, it does what you think RC heli's should be like with the price to match, RTF is the cheap end or more like a toy, I'm not knocking RTF stuff, it's what got me into the hobby but my RTF heli is not the same heli I bought when I started flying and it's a poor second to my new heli, not an RTF but one I made, it cost a lot more than my RTF and is the better heli cos of it,
you get what you pay for but most don't want to spend 800 pounds on there first heli, shame as that's what your want in the end and any money you spend that's not buying the black angle is money wasted, but just over 100 pounds on [link=http://2.4Ghz Walkera 4G1B RTF FREE TRAINING LEGS on eBay (end time 25-Jul-09 16:28:15 BST)]2.4Ghz Walkera 4G1B RTF FREE TRAINING LEGS on eBay (end time 25-Jul-09 16:28:15 BST) [/link] is not to bad and it does things the more expensive eccp ones can't like fly after a crash,
you want a light heli with a slow rotor speed, they don't look go and look cheap compered to the eccp's one's but it's not looks you buy by is it ?
