Micro-electric Hand-choppers

I recently bought a micro-electric helicopter, and since SB has been complaining that I'm leaving him out of things, here's a lovely thread all about it.

I've only had it for a week, so I can't fly it yet and probably won't be able to for some time. I only got it off the ground for the first time today.

    Well, that's the whole idea that you use 10% of time to fly it... and rest goes for fixing damage caused by flying it.:D

    Yep. That's what the simulator is for. :D

    Unless you already know how to fly an RC chopper or are dead serious about putting in a huge commitment of both time and money, don't bother. RC aircraft in general arn't cheap, but choppers are by far the most expensive, and they take a very very long time to learn how to fly. The flight in that video is far from controlled.
