Sure, it's a good heli especially for the price right now. Multiple shops are clearance-ing them right now, so hopefully, parts will be available for a while to come.

You'll need servos, radio system, gyro, and a battery and charger of course. The wood blades are pretty good if you're just starting out, but as you advance, you'll eventually want a set of 315mm carbon fibers. The frame is pretty stout, and will take a bit more abuse than some of the other 400/450 sized helis out there. The included esc is very basic, but works fine. Flight characteristics wise, I like it better than the blade 400, personally.

Heliproz South has them for 140.00 with free shipping in the US right now.

If you're just learning to fly a heli, local parts support comes in real handy, so you might want to check your local hobby shop to see if they have parts for them.

Hope that helps a bit, good luck.
