<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; ">No, go back to your car racing days. When you bought something cheap, how did it perform?
And to answer yor question, that also comes from RC car mentality..... It is better to get a kit. That way you know how to take it apart and re-assemble for when you have to repair it after you crash. And you WILL crash.</span>
First of all, he obviously doesn't know what the going rate on heli's are, so take an easy on him. As far as the kit, once again he doesn't know the going rate. When someone doesn't know the hobby and they ask questions, try to look at it from their view. I didn't go on a forum before I bought my first heli and I know I would've asked what would seem strange questions.<br type="_moz" />
