WINTER BAD WEATHER REMEDY (is anyone else into these?)

[SpeedoMan]

I just realized the potential in that.. Dude, we could have the race filmed birds eye like a real offshore race from 3 positions! That is very possible and would make history

I Would be cool to get some mini cameras and hover over the pond with a live feed though eh?

LOL!

Thanks Bill you made my day!

[BILL OXIDEAN]

Thanks Bill.

BTW is there anyway you could get Tony to stop making bad adult type movies of himself in his tighty undies while he plays with his toys?

Alan I've tried, but the guy's got a fan base of about 25,000 house wives that keep cheerin' him on..

Tony,
Not a bad looking toy in your link but was thinking more like having 2-3 of those german octo copters hovering over the pond!

I just keep playing with the 2 channel Air hogs copter an in-law gave me over a year ago. It's a challenge just trying to hover without for/rev motion control...'specially when the heat kicks on and starts making thermals all over the living room. But you guys definitley have me interested in getting another. Would be cool to get some mini cameras and hover over the pond with a live feed though eh?

Nayman, i started with a little 2 channel one and you're right, heat drafts from central heating vents do weird stuff to 'em. they seem to rise in the heat and it blows warm air down on you sometimes.

Get a 3-channel cheapie like the one I referred to Tony. they're only 20 bux near indestructable and way fun

Its a perfect step up from a 2-ch.
I've got a metal one the size of the MCX but I find it less fun, and more fragile
I assume the MCX and MSR are way better quality than my metal one, but the cheapies fly great and are perfect for living room action

Here's one for you guys, it can carry a liter of Coke and a camera and come back by itself.
Pretty cool.

I want one!
that would make for some really awesome video shots of FE racing with my Sony HD cam..
I wonder how much they are?

[Drag Boat Bob]

Simply Amazing! Just like the Germans to come up with this...

No, I am not going to succumb to the helicopter addiction...

crank the expo on the MCX for a bit more fun
and you can tame the expo on the MSR for a bit more tame flight, but they are still a fast heli for their size..

At the present time, until I find a bigger space to fly in, I'm restricted to flying in a 10X 20 foot bachelor pad. No need for high performance or speed. Outdoors, since I'm a mile from the ocean, lots of wind. I'm calling the LHS today to see if I can hook up with some fliers that have a large indoor venue. Until then, the MCX on "dual rate for dummies" is the best I can hope for. And yup, looking forward to a single rotor bird. For the record, I'm just keeping myself from going crazy from FE withdrawal ; my raceboats are dialed in and "on the shelf" waiting for WW VI in Arizona the end of the month
