Anyhow still be be cool to get if price is cheap enough.
It says quite clearly in the ad "constructive metal parts" (whatever the hell that means!), so there must be some metal in there...I think they're tryin to say something about it containing a fair bit of metal, but I could be wrong. Translations are often so bad, I wonder why people even bother.

Wow, I have to admit I'm very intrigued...a 249 with enough work put into it to make it worthwhile has always been out of my price range before...could be fun if the bang for the buck is good enough!

400 fps from a plastic gearbox is pretty impressive if the gearbox has any reliability at all.
