To heck with all of you...! I have a brand new RC helicopter that I'm

[Liberal In Texas]

going to have to learn to fly this weekend.



Woo HOOOOOO............

1. How hard are those to control?

[Liberal In Texas]

2. Not sure.

From the on-line stuff I've read, pretty difficult.

AND, I actually have 18 hours in a real helicopter as a student.

This is probably harder. I bet I crack it up...

[sakabatou]

5. Because now the plane is 3-D

I wonder which controls the throttle...

6. Actually, I ordered the controls like a real chopper, the PIC is in the

right seat. (How I was kind of trained.)

The throttle is on the left and the blade control on the right. In the Schwitzer 300 that was how it was laid out.

I bet I still crack it up...

10. Good luck.

Don't use it when there is any wind at all.
The wind catches those things and drives them right into the ground.

3. Damn, looks like fun

and looks hard to control. I have been eyeballing the Superman Returns R/C Flying Superman...I have no idea, how in the world, it can fly, but the box says it does....:)

4. Go for it. My box and the sketchy directions say that a beginner can do

it. I'm a biginner.

It also says don't let the battery charger unattened, because your house could burn down. Nice.

Also, It is absolutely not allowed that people under the age of 18 are allowed to use this toy.

Oh good.

Mentally, what am I? 16 or 18 or even 21?


I just know I'm going to crack it up.

8. I probably will

when it drops a bit more in price...right now its about 80 bucks, which is just a bit to much...:)

7. That looks more like a Bell Model 47 D

which were the type used in M*A*S*H to transport wounded soldiers, than a Sikorsky H05S-1, the type actually used in the Korean War.

But it ain't a Bell 47 D, either.

9. a hezzbollah weapon of mass destruction!!!

just don't pack it with explosives and fly it in the vicinity of any israeli warships...
