      The damage to them does not look too bad, so it might be worth it to repair one of them. That is, if you can get repair parts at a reasonable price. Parts for flybarred helicopters are getting harder to find these days, and can be expensive when you do find them.

      Its a great find! look to see if there are any flybarless conversion kits. Check to see if the radio works and also. It will be a great learning experience if you can - as @Geena mentioned - get parts for it.

      Hard to tell on the pics by what amount is damaged. Probably best to go to your nearest RC helicopter Club and see if someone there is willing to give it a thorough look/test the parts/components. Hopefully can give you an evaluation

      I'm sure other brand parts (even cheap ones like HK) will fit with some adjustment, best to get advice at a club and get them checked out once fixed so you know they are safe to fly (if your not a gun pilot already). Good luck mate

      A club will be better than your local hobby store (LHS), they will just try and sell you something. It's a good idea to take the main and tail blades off to test it and figure out what things do. Take a pic with your phone so you put the main and tail blades on the right direction. Have fun and good luck. We are always here to help,
      Cheers Simon
