Now since RC planes aren't enough of a simulation of the realthing, they too have a simulator.
that is almost lame. but then again i can see situations where you couldn't fly an rc plane and would need a simulator.
I have a remote controlled Helicopter!
i don't beleive they have a SIM for that yet.
I AM a helicopter!
that is so gunship!
*call me Harold.

Yeah, Dad had one of those back in the day. We thought it
would help to train before we crashed the real thing, and boy
were WE wrong.
oh THAT Harold.

the take-along is great for restaurants, the brio is great for the home. when i figure out how, i'll post directions for making your own lego ones.
My friend and I always had plans for building a helicopter with video cameras in it that we could connect to a vr-type helmet, and a paintball gun attached to the side for shooting people.
i still wonder if we could pull it off.
yes.
I'm trying to convince Mrs. Zaaa that instead of having Spot get hooked on those children's shows and the associated toys that we should get him/her hooked on Godzilla movies and toys instead.
We got shutette's dad a real RC plane for christmas. It was awesome. I crashed it once and felt bad. But when you get it to fly right, it kicks ass.
_Originally posted by JERKSTORE _ **I have a remote controlled Helicopter! **i was looking into getting one of those a few years ago. are they easy to fly/crash?
they're very easy to crash!
isn't everything?

acme rc choppers:
"now with new and improved breakability!" "guaranteed crashable or your money back" "we put the 'f' in fragile!"
we give you 83 sheets of bass wood, some aluminum, and odd electronic odds and ends, and to top it all off we give you a 3 hp nitrous powered gas motor! Who couldn't crash this thing?!

FS 2004 Bell helicopter.
Me at 20k feet North of Seattle. I can get it to fly upsidedown for about 8 seconds.
