[whirlybird]

Hi all

Anybody seen these

Hobbycity Online R/C Hobby Store : HK-T500 CCPM 3D EP 500 size Helicopter Kit $54.95

Ridiculous price, any thoughts on quality.
Really, I am looking for someone to talk me out of it.
Any help would be appreciated, not least by my wallet!!!

Cheers

Jeff

I really like the honest reviews.....at that price....well you take your chance...otherwise I think it's great and will suit many flyers who are on a limited budget...
