take a look at the ebay wording,it says 7 channel ( although the heli probably only uses 6 channels)

That's a decent alternative to a Compy 300 FP/Belt drive. Lot's easier to find parts for it, too.

It also says it's an "aerobatic FP" :). If aerobatics means loops and barrel rolls, then OK-- but we generally think of a little more than that.

It looks like a Blade CP with a belt drive - it's not a Bell-Hiller head. It is cheap though - probably worth the gamble.

I think it's Blade CP head, but it's pitch locked. It only has 3 servos and one is on the tail, so it has to be FP. They use the same hardware and radio for their CP version. There's a metal version, too:

Ignore videos - particularly those posted by people trying to sell the thing. Alan Szabo could fly a cinder block if it had enough power, but it might take some editing to get the good shots and make it look nice enough to sell. If you want to find videos that really show the product in a more realistic light, search youtube for "[helicopter name] crash"

This helicopter has Hiller mixing, which means there is a small delay between input and the helicopter reaction, which means you have to be mentally ahead of it all the time. This situation is best left to the experts who can anticipate the helicopter.

Watch some of these... it doesn't look too good, but maybe better than the Blade CP - and like I said, it's cheap and probably worth the risk.
