I knew someone that went to a field where they flew those and launched rockets. I went to check it out one weekend with him. One guy inverted one of those heli's and flew it upside down. Those would be fun. I bet they are expensive to service or repair.
yeah but it takes a long time to charge a lipo....you can do a large set (18 cells or so easy)of a123's in like 15 min if you have the right charging system
I bought my fiance a $100 heli one year and my mom bought him about a $200 one the next year for Christmas. First one broke xmas eve, second one xmas day. They are very hard to control! I think his total flying time was about :30. lol. Looks like fun though if you get a handle on it!
