You could get a copterx head/tail set for $60 and make it decent. I'm not buying one though.

They are selling pretty fast.

Nice price but i wouldnt trust it as a whole , but as spares , paddles flybar, boom skids etc it would be worth it ,it would actually cost me more to buy the parts i could use as spares than buying this whole heli , ill give one a try its only a few quid .

EXI 450 was $53 including shipping within U.S. on Black Friday. I now have three; flying two and one for spare parts.
