That was a publicity stunt IMHO. I'm about ready to buy a helicoptor to fly inside the house. Now that electronics have advance, they're easier to fly than in my R/C days in the 1980s.

I had one, but never could get it to trim out right. It was too hard to control. But, then, I bought a cheap piece of crap from WalMart, so what did I expect?

Anyhow, it was a blast to chase the dog with it. She hated that thing.

Now, I want a quad to fly in the yard. A nice one. But, I have to stop spending money on my vehicles first.

My Grandson got this one for Christmas. http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Helic...rc+helicopters

It is very easy to fly, even I can do it!

I like those Quads. I was a power plane flyer, but did attempt helicoptors a few times. Thay were way too touchy and a single screwup could destroy some expensive hardware. Whatcha doin to the vehicles?

Maybe I should buy Florence an RC model, she soloed at 29 adter 8 hours of instruction.

This two seater sailplane was the last thing she took up

That's totally cool. I had some flight lessons until I ran out of cash. It was really neat flying above F14s as they exited Miramar. Sail planes are great. There was a guy that used to be on the airshow circuit that I really enjoyed watching. IIRC, he narrated from the cockpit his entire demonstration in a smooth relaxing voice that captured the essense of the sport.
