If building really isn't your cup of tea because flying is what you dream of, then don't wait!  Your highly preassembled Tiger 50 ARF (almost ready to fly)helicopter can be ready for flight in just a few hours.  Begin by installing the preassembled landing gear to the fully asssembled frame set with four high quality Allen-head bolts.  Plug in the tailboom, tighten four more bolts, and things are looking distinctly helicopter-ish.  Bolt an engine to the mount, slip it into the frame and tighten four more Allen-bolts and you can then add a muffler.  That's it, you're ready to install the avionics - five servos, a receiver, battery, switch, and gyro.  You may actually spend more time detailing the virtually indestructible canopy with decals than in building the Tiger 50 ARF!  You can practically skip the manual (but download it and see for yourself how quickly you can be ready).  Then before you know it, you're rolling, tumbling, or hovering (perhaps inverted?) as pilot in command of a superb state of the art helicopter.  Whether you're strapping on training gear, or a pro looking for a beater with which to practice maneuvers before risking that multi-thousand dollar heli, then the Tiger 50 is for you!
