That's a pretty similar design to mine. It looks bigger than mine though....you need to get us some appropriate scale bush....that's what's wrong

Your "new" kit may contain dirt, signs of use, pieces which appear broken and some things may not have required assembly or adhesive according to diagrams...good luck. This will not be reflected in the purchase price.

Two experiences of attempted RC Flight (late '80s)....

1) Built a 4-Ch PT-40 plane (w/Ailerons), big wheels for the backyard grass, etc. Taxied it around for a while, felt OK to take off. As soon as it lifted off the grass, it went up & right, somehow it didn't stall and it didn't hit the barn.... Tried to trim it out, never quite got there, and it kept getting farther and farther away, so I killed it and watched it glide away. When I saw it in the neighbor's pasture/woods, it was on the landing gear! When I picked it up there was a significant dent in a wing leading edge. I sold it for what I had in it and that guy flew it for years, until he buried the prop in the dirt. I probably would have been OK if I had someone experienced fly it and trim it out, first. It was a solid build.

2) After the PT-40, I built a Concept 30 w/OSS 0.32 ci Nitro, 6 ch Futaba w/Gyro Yaw, etc. I did get where I could hover around the yard, but never really learned how to "fly" it. Also sold that one for what I had in it.

Did recently buy a Goosky E2 1/35 UH-1Y but haven't tried to fly it yet. I think that Cleetus would be a PERFECT trainer!

Did you get the goosky e2 built already? Got any pics?

It's RTR but you need to put on the main & tail rotor blades. With LIDAR and the other settings, it should be "difficult" to crash this one?...

That Concept 30 cost me ~$2k to build back then, hard to believe something like this is a fraction of that cost (I couldn't resist).
