For what it's worth - I have a CH-7 that my father built. It was flown about 10 hours. My father passed away, and the helo has been sitting in dry storage since.
It is currently located in California, USA. Please contact me if you have a serious interest in acquiring one in an almost brand new condition. craighoward*at*comcast.net | | Nelson, e-mail, 09.03.2008 | reply |
