Blade Micro AH-64 Apache Gunships with Spektrum DX8- 8 Channel

This is a fully functional and in great shape Blade AH64 Apache Gunships RTF from my military RC helicopter collection. During my ownership, it was mostly for static use (display) and as a collectible. Before this listing, I checked that the receiver in this helicopter can bind to a Spektrum DX8 Channel Transmitter with Telemetry System Generation 2 (programmed according to the Blade AH-64 Apache instruction manual for this Apache). The swashplate do respond to control stick and the transmitter emits 3 quick high-pitch tones. You can bind this Apache to your other favorite qualified Spektrum DSMX transmitter with the provided Bind PLUG (taped to the transmitter so you will not miss it). The only thing missing is an experienced 3D RC Pilot.  No return due to the nature of the hobby. Shipping fee to be calculated based on buyer's location. I will package the Spektrum DX8 in its original box and the helicopter in another box (not original). I will put both boxes in a bigger box and ship via USPS Priority Mail. Good bidding. Thanks.
Note:
The battery compartment of the helicopter is extremely tight fit. I found the procedure below quite helpful. It could be frustrating the first few times to try to insert the flight battery. So have patience  as it gets easier over time.
1. Take off the canopy
2. Make sure the black bind port is tuck away vertically to the side of the compartment
3. Slide the flight battery into the Cockpit compartment with its plugs facing away from the main motor, giving it a gentle downward push.
4. Connect the flight battery
5. Tuck and push the wires down forward as you don't want the wires to touch the main motor ! You don't want the wires on the sides so to allow the canopy to close.
6. Take the canopy and put it back on gently, making sure it fit.

Impressive Scale Detail
The hard plastic body features a scale outline and rich detail striking enough to be officially licensed by Boeing Aircraft Company. Beyond static appearance, the four-blade head and tail add a functional level of authenticity you’ll appreciate while flying.
Brushless Power
Both the main rotor and tail rotors feature brushless outrunner motors for the power to fly outdoors and muscle through aggressive maneuvers. The main rotor is geared specifically for scale four-blade head performance. The tail rotor is a high-speed, direct-drive outrunner with a tail rotor that has a realistic four-blade appearance.
