Remote helicopters
Long story short I've been given one to entertain my grandson, at first glance this thing looks complicated as hell. It appears to be a decent one and I know it cost around 250.00, but not knowing anything about them I have no idea if it's a good one or not. Anybody had any luck, tips, or insight??

I don't, but they look like a blast to play with.

Re: Remote helicopters
I putz'd around with it last night in the living room and got it off the ground and safely landed a few times without breaking anything. It's easier than I thought but I've still got some work to do to maneuver it around more confidently.

Don't fly it in that town that issues drone hunting licenses.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Remote helicopters
Funny you bring that up, they are now featuring an add on on the way of a camera platform/ mount. Now if I could just get some side mount rocket launchers

Re: Remote helicopters
I can hook you up. We'll take some rocket launchers of some Yugo SKSs and be good to go.
(That's an inside gun joke, there are no rocket launchers on the Yugo SKS but the media and politicians keep saying so. It's a sight for aiming them if you launch them from the barrel, they did design one for that but it but it wasn't a "rocket launcher".)People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Remote helicopters
How much weight can this thing take? I've got a flare gun that's really light weight, that could work great. Maybe something with more umph, something belt fed....
