Like the Jetranger, but have heard various stories/rumours about quality.

Alex, what didn't you like about yours, you said the mechanics weren't any good........in what way ???

Any comments or ideas ?

Cheers

first off loved the fuselage very scale like downside was the mechanics shafts to big for bearings eating gears 1 on the tail drive and two on the clutch so new clutch at £40. Plus the tail drive was always slipping at the tail gearbox. if I was to do the model now I would look for different mechanics.

Hmm not sure I want to pay all that money for mechanics that arent' any good. I also forgot just how big the 60 size scale models are, could be pushing it getting one in the car without damaging it

Thinking about Funkey 50 body for the sceadu evo now Razz
