Can some one look at this page and give me any idea about this Helicopter?
I spoke to the owner and he got it on trade and just wants to get rid of it.
Thank you

It is a Axe cp looks like it has the direct drive tail which would mean its cpv3, also it has a blade CP canopy. You can get a brand new one for $139.95 from towerhobbies.com now and you also get $20 off when you spend $149. So I'd say order from tower and get a couple of spare blade grips and a set of blades (only parts i've broken in pretty bad crashes). It would a little more expensive but you dont know how beat that heli's crucial "invisible" parts are such as the feathering spindle, and the one above is useless without a battery which would set you back about $20 depending on the lipo pack you bought. But if you want to go the used root check out ebay you can usually pick up a slightly used Axe for $50-100 that are stock so you know they arent someones failed project at modifying. My girlie got mine on ebay for $90 and it came wth two sets of spare blades and was completely stock so i could screw it up[sm=lol.gif]. As for the Axe CP itself its a pretty good heli, and its fairly forgiving if you've had simulator or co axial experience.
ps. FWI for replacement tailbooms on an Axe cp a #11 knitting needle works great and you can get 2 for $3 vs helimax's 1 for $11.99!!!
