DcloudZ 0 #1 August 14, 2012 Hello everyone, I plan on buying my own gear (used) for the first time during this off-season. I was wondering if anyone had any tips when doing so... What do I have to consider when buying used gear. Is it better to buy complete systems or to buy separately and get a rigger to assemble it? What has to be done once I have the rig to get it ready to fly? Thanks in advance for all the help!"Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way." -Alan Watts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
