Would this heli be worth the time to finish and fly? The price seems cheap compared to the size of the heli. Thanks

I haven't bought the heli yet, but i'm looking to upgrade from my Axe CPv3. I just wanted to know if this kit would be worth the money. I bough t the AXE without doing much research and have found that it a very unstable platform. I just don't want to make the same mistake twice.

Here you go, Ark x500 with cnc upgrades and motor and ESC for $199 incl postage!!!!

btw The ark helicopter was designed by Mr Li Chann who designed the original trex450! he then quit align and tried to go it alone.
I had a x400 and it flies just like my trex 450!
the x500 will fly very well but parts will be hard to get
