I gota new toy that KISK A$$!

I used to fly the gassers years ago - but gave it up. Crashes get pretty pricey, and its a huge pain in the a$$ to set your chopper up again after each one...

As an aside, these things are VERY dangerous. At our local club a friend of mine was just finished landing, and then got glitched...

The chopper went to full throttle, and hit another pilot in the face. This was a .60 size, with carbon blades. The guy fell to the ground and bled profusely... His young son was watching the whole thing evolve, as was his father. You can imagine the paranoi, emotions, and sobbing. He had 4-5 huge lacerations to his head and neck, permanently disfiguring him. Friends applied compresses, and called the paramedics. Supposedly, took 15-20 minutes (field is hard to find)...

We hope he will be well...

Sh*T happens. And a .60 size with carbon blabes is just an unshrouded lawnmower waiting to cut something...

 

wow pete, thats some strange looking wall art......

LMAO...!!! i thought it was the TK241...?

 

That'd be like me calling you ONN!

 

Damn Pete, stop spending money on toys and get some furniture that's not covered in naugahyde...

 

Or Nad

 

Looks like a lot of fun. When I was getting into Helis I looked into getting one of those Piccolos(sp) little eletric copter. I bet it is a blast to buzz the house.

 

I have an Ikarus "Fun" Piccolo. I don't know how much fun it really is. I could never get the blades balanced and get it trimmed out. I ran out of patience and it never took flight.

 

I arrive that Monday night from the states and have a meeting in Beijing on Tuesday, back Tuesday night. Want to come over for dinner?

 

Do you want/need a ride to the track?

 

Congrats on flying that thing. Be careful!!!

I had a RC copter several years ago. It took virtually forever to build the thing. I finally finished it and took it to the park to try to fly it. It was suggested that I stake it to the ground with some wire, but, of course I was too cool for that. Anyways, after starting it, it lifted about 4" off of the ground then turned sideways and smashed itself into about 1,000 pieces. That was the extent of my copter ownership. Months of building it, followed by about 6 seconds of fun before destruction. Definitely not the best use of almost a grand.

 

Pete,

Glad to see you're having fun with the helo.' I'll have "something" for you when we hook up. It should be a cool display piece to put next to your Hirobo.

The Army should buy some of those for the SF



Then load them up with a little C4

 

Even better are the Predators carrying Mavericks.

 

ROTFL!!!!!!!!!

 

True


However this toy (or something quite similar), can be issued to quite a few small teams.


What is the cost of the Predator with IR Mavericks ? - $$$$$$$$$$$$$$


An item similar to this, can be built and perfected for very little cost.

 

Have you trained it to get a beer from the fridge yet?

 

then I'll buy one

Pete:

I told you that I wanted the model that can carry the 5 pound bag of **** to drop on someone.
