Yes in less than one week I did an inverted flight!
It was easy, just got my bird up 3 feet, did a blade strike off the work
bench, it inverted all by itself and crashed to the floor.  : (

Ok, well I got my Picoo-Z in, which is actually a Pico-Z, which even

At any rate, sure I got it in. I dug up 6 AA's and turned it on. It's

It's been windy here in South Florida, so I had to take the car,
motorcycles and bicycles out of my 2 car garage.

I'm Jerry and new here, I'm very seriously thinking about getting into
'copter.  Namely Blade cp pro.

Hello all!  My husband is interested in trying out rc helicopter flying.  I
would like to get him one for Christmas.  Can anyone recommend a decent
beginner model?  Basically, something good enough that he could enjoy if he
likes it but that won't be a huge loss if it collects ...

Good morning friends, really I am interested in constructing a RC
helicopter would thank for all the aid who could offer me, please tell
me where I can obtain to planes and guides. Thanks.
P.D.: Then pardon my English I do not speak it correctly, I am of

Ok, from what I've read the Night Ranger is a bit of a hotrod and is
very responsive. The Blade CP on the other hand people have said it's
fairly docile and has a slow reaction.
My question is... Do you think it would be better to get a Blade CP...

Is there a collective pitch helicopter that has similar size as the Micron
V2? If not I've heard some rumors on the forum that Micron plans on
releasing such a model in the future, anybody knows more about that?
