Here it is, The phone is there for size reference.   Not sure what I am going to do with that wiring mess, this thing is really small.  The box it came in.  Not sure how I feel about this heli  , it is really small and really delicate, it was a really challenging build because it is soooo small. I can't wait to maiden it, batteries will be here next week, I will be able to form a better opinion then. |

That's a fun little heli to fly. Hard to break. That case is nice.

Hard to break...hmmm. Every crash I have had with a 250 has been bad. Of course, one of the crashes was inverted, and another the feathering shaft bolt let go. Maybe it's just me lol. Look......   More recently...  |

ok... let me rephrase that. I own two and have crashed them a more times than I can remember. For the amount of abuse I put them through, I've not had to spend a bunch of money or time on them. This includes a nose first full throttle dirt nap. None of my crashes were very expensive. I rarely spent more than $30 on a crash. They are a very easy and quick to fix after a crash. As long as you have the parts you can be back up in the air in minutes. None of my electronics, or frame parts have needed replacing (the expensive stuff). I did upgrade the motors. The blades have been extremely resilient.
Conversely I've had crashes with larger helicopters where it was just easier and less expensive to buy the kit again, or part it out .

I am scared to handle the thing, seems so delicate.

Agreed, crashes are generally cheap.
There is something about this little heli that I can't resist. I'm on my 4th one. My one and only gripe is that it's hard to see sometimes, but that isn't the heli's fault. Pure fun all round for sure.
