Fook me,thats an old MFA Sport 500(Fixed pitch model),haven`t seen one for ages,they are almost impossible to fly(and thats for someone with 2years plus experience).
The best thing to do with them is to hang em up and look at em mate(sorry to give you bad news)but i am into helis big time and i wouldnt try and fly one(far too scary)...

If you are gonna try and fly it m8,get some help/advice from a local club or experienced modeller first cos they can be absolutely deadly in the wrong hands(every year at least 2 people are killed in uk by radio controlled models !!!!!).

If you are seriously interested why not join a club or something and have a proper go........its very rewarding......but be warned flying a heli is like trying to balance a ball bearing in the middle of a dinnerplate with a raised centre(and thats a modern one with gyro etc !!!)

Just had a look on a few sites, they look solid!!! He did say that it was really old, and that it had never even been flown, he just built it up and kept it in his spare room LOL.

a few sites reckon that this is the ideal starter one?? Any links to clubs etc, cos all the sites seem to be american??
