X5 Lite - Parts
I was looking at the X5 v2 on clearance at Empire & AllERC, when I noticed the X5 Lite also on clearance. I noticed it was an Old School fly-bar helicopter.
Being a newer flyer everything I own is FBL. But the price of the kit is so compelling. Am I crazy for even considering such a beast? Is it one crash away from not having any parts to fix it... I do like the idea of setting up a Flybar, I’m up for that side of the challenge. Any thoughts?

Also the original flybar X5 does not have carbon fiber frames and many other parts are slightly different. I think its a worthy collector piece if you already have a x5 fes/formula in your fleet but I wouldn't suggest starting out with a x5 lite as your intro to GAUI heli's it will give you the wrong impression. Although it was a killer heli in its day. Get the V2 like Tony suggested.
