| Can you remove the mechaincs and fly it as a pod and boom?
Personally, I wouldn't try to learn with the scale body on. The chances you'll crash are much higher when you're first learning. I recommend getting a flight simulator like Real Flight or a similar product before attempting to fly by yourself, also try to find someone locally who can help you in person.
I think I'd get another heli to learn on or maybe I'd buy a regular canopy and landing gear for the Jet Ranger mechanics. You could pull the scale body off and fly it like a regular pod and boom type for a while. Later after you learn how to fly you can put the scale body on.
I have a H500E scale heli and at the moment I have the mechanics out of it and have been flying it as a pod and boom while I was rebuilding my other regular 3D machine.
Those scale bodies are fragile and won't survive a crash very well.
Welcome to your new drug. It's very addictive.
