$100 plus shipping, insurance extra. You can probably part it out and make a profit. It does fly too.
You can get them on e bay as auctions but they all have been more then I'm asking.
Hey, I have this old helicopter, been sitting around since I got it, only flew it a few times back in 1999, and each time crashed it. LHS never got around to getting parts so we gave up on it. Recently I went on e bay and found the parts and got it flying again. Found the original battery wont hold a charge, but a 3s lipo powers it great and I did 1 whole battery through it to make sure it flys. I notice it has a low rpm while hovering, compared to the few I've flown recently, so its really quiet.
It is RTF all you need is a battery to power it, and remote batteries. It originally used a 9.6v battery, I even made one but it would not make it lift. I found some online made for it but they are around $30 so I used a lipo laying around, read online someone else used one so I tried it. Mine worked great for the whole battery, can't remember the run time, probably 10 min or so I was just hovering it.
I just recently found the box at my dads house, now he can't find the box so I can't say for sure it will come with one, but if we find it I will put it in the box to ship. Original price $500
It does come with some parts, extra tail blade, 3 extra pinion gears, and a new tail boom. The one on it has dents but is fine. Other then the rear tail fin needs to be glued on to keep its position nothing else wrong with it. I did cut out the battery holder for the lipo, and will include a velcro strap, and I made a adapter for the battery so I will include that too. Comes with the remote also.

If I get time I may fly it 1 more time and make a video to prove it flys, so keep checking back if interested.
