Matt,
Sorry I didn't see this sooner but I would have said that yes it's a good deal as long as you are prepared to work on it to make it right. You don't say what version that you are buying but if it has any of the gyros but the G001 then your Ok there and if the motor is brushless you might be able to use it. Check the servos carefully for overtravel as that burns them out quickly or causes shutdowns and lockouts.

Good luck with your new heli!

Yea, its brushless. I set up the servos, tracked the blades and tried to lift off and the Radio gear has a bad glitch when i ran it up.

I cleaned crystal contacts and i'll see if that works. If not i'll put DX-7 in it and when i destroy the 36 i'll get a comet kit.

I think it will serve its purpose as a trainer.

Re: walkera 36 for $75 a good deal?

Wow! I have a Comet and I love it but I still fly the 36 more than anything. It's easy on batteries and is cheap to crash!
The electronics in the Walkeras are the problem except for the gyros. With the exception of the G001 they work as well as a Telebee or other similarly priced gyro. For $75 you can have a lot of fun with your 36.

It is good deal if shipping cost is NOT high. You can compare with these shops: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search
