    The heli kiosk guys sold me a larger cheapie as well, they threw in a parts heli and I was stripping it down after the first 2 flights. Now it still flies so I just use it as a shelf queen.

    I was gonna' shnooker Randy with it 'cause he saw it loved the way it flew and wanted to trade me somethin' for it but I didn't have the heart to stick 'eem the way the kiosk guys got me LoL

    Its bad enough I've got you guys all buggin' out on the little gizmos, I don't need to start rippin' ya' off LoL!!!

    If you master a micro coaxial, you'll be an ace with the larger ones. The bigger ones break all the time in crashes but the micro is super forgiving.

    I need to shoot a video of what I've got this micro doin' 20 bux man, and you won't have to leave your couch.

    Turns out my next door neighbor's been flying micro's. He just brought back a bigger one from Fry's for $ 80.00 - now charging. My other neighbor saw my micro & is getting one. You've started a damn epidemic, Bro !

    Here's my favorite chopper. i've modified it with 100mah lipo forward cg and if you'll notice there's a clear plastic shroud I installed at the beginning of the tail just behind the fuslage. It added TONS of stabillity! way improved over stock

    Pretty good for 20bux rtr
