Speaking about helicopters...I wonder if Capt Tom Frances ever got his license.
Not sure if he bought one of those little models with the tall rotor tower.

He should! This one's a blast. But, the dogs don't like it at all. If it
ever warms up, I'll try it
outside. But, I've heard stories of the things being attacked by birds.

The guy in the video is a much better pilot than I am. I'd have crashed
it three or four times in
that amount of time. I'm surprised mine hasn't broken yet.

I have 2 v911 single rotor 4 channels, and a larger 3 channel 2 rotor
job. I can't fly any of them worth a damn. My UDI U818a should be here
any day now. That one should be easier to fly indoors and out.

My new one is in shipment. Had to buy a new horn for the boat and
replacement trailer receptacle for the truck. For an extra less than $21
with an extra charger got a Syma S107 tossed in to the Amazon order.

Cool. The 'c' has a camera, I take it.
