Oh yeah I am definitely a fan of youtube vids on this stuff, that has helped me
to pick out most of the stuff I do have. I use them to learn about things like
what the craft sounds like to see if I can hear it well for audio flying as I
call it.
Regards and game on.

Like to get my hands on one of them to. With them you get flight time
stats of where it is and that all can be put to a talking digital
display. Now we may not be able to use the cameras to good, but
weapons are just a button away.
The only thing that keeps it from my collection is about a few
Hey Tom and all.
Yes there seems to be quite a bit of interest in this which is pretty cool.
Yes you are right that there are definitely some gaming aspects to operating
these things. As I think I mentioned in an earlier message one needs to have
pretty good spatial understanding to operate
Heya Trouble and all.
Oh yeah I am aware of that, had a little nitro powered hovercraft way back in
the day, back when you had to put the fuel in the tank and drip a little into
the cylinder of the engine and crank the prop by hand and get your finger back
real quick. Wasn't quite fast enough
Hi,
Grin. Yeah, me to. I heard the Reaper is a nasty little drone with
quite a lot of firepower for an unmanned aircraft. You can fly that
little drone to anywhere in the world and blow them to kingdom come
with a couple of well placed missiles. They saw some action in Iraq
and the enemy never
Hi Tom,
Yeah, exactly my point. I noticed when playing with my son's little
helicopter the same skills I use in Shades of doom etc came into play
with that heli because I had to listen carefully to where it was going
and use my spacial orientation to turn it before it crashed into a
wall or make
Well I or rather my brother has happened to own from time to time rc
cars and helecopters.
While the cars can take quite a bit of dammage unless they flip, the
copters we eventually gave up on.
Inevitably they would crash, and when they did there would be a 50%
chance of them breaking.
And
never thought about models, but again, storage is an issue.
My desk is fully used, the shelves have my hardware, plugs books and
then other junk.
My room's storage is a joke, I can't even run a joystick in here.
Outside, well i guess I could but would I want to.
Not to mention that any thing
Back in the mid 80's when I still had sight. I was in NC and from the
hill I was on. I got to see a F18 flown by remote. It had a pilot,
but he was waving to me with both hands as the jet wash blew me off
that hill. So that should give you a idea of how low they where
flying threw those
The cars are not bad either. Had a truck that was clocked in the
pickup doing 40mph. Everyone in the hood came out to watch that car
run up and down the street. It really blew there minds when they
found out I was blind, and driving that car perfect at those speeds.
The car was a Duritrax
With new technology flying and driving are a lot easier now. Some of
the helicopters fly them selfs almost.

Thanks for the link I will definitely check this out.

Hi again.
Have checked out some of the hovercraft on the banana hobby page you provided,
these look real interesting and reasonably priced to boot. One thing I notice
I do not see any brand names on the product descriptions so it will be kind of
difficult to find youtube vides on specific
Don't have any of the models, but I do like the rubber skirt.
The one I have is like the first one on list in size.
One thing you have to keep in mind is they are the original drifters
when it comes to turning.

Hi Charles,
The indoor helicopters are too small to be flown outside, the wind
will often cause them to crash, and the reason is because they are
pretty small. The indoor models are not much bigger than a man's hand,
roughly speaking, and are maybe 6 inches long and the propeller on top
is about
Hi Tom,
Smile. Oh, the topic is fine. Leave it on list. They may be toys, but
there are certainly gaming aspects to RC toys that maybe you haven't
thought about.
For example, if you have a couple of RC race cars you can race them.
That's certainly a game even if it isn't computer gaming

When you get to 4CH type. The smallest blade length is around 8 in
and up to or better than 27 in.
The bigger you go the less you have to worry about wind.
You can have a lot of fun with the small one for cheep.

Hi Trouble,
Sweet! This helicopter looks awesome. Although, I'd rather fly one of
the U.S. militaries unmanned recon drones. Those things are frickin'
awesome!

Hi Trouble,
Yeah, I figured that. That's just basic physics there. The bigger the
blades, and the heavier the helocopter, etc the more stable it will
be in flight. The one I have was a Christmas present for my son, and
it was meant to be an inexpensive gift. When he gets older we'll

Hey Charles and all.
The helis designed for indoor flying are mostly pretty small. I have a couple
of them here that I've bought over the last few years, my Bladerunner has a
rotor diameter of about 11 inches if memory serves and weighs in at about 55
grams would have to look at the manual to
To help fix that drift. Get the helicopter to hover with tail to you.
Then if it drifts left, give rudder trim on radio a little until it
stops. With no wind conditions you should be able to get a steady
hover. If not know where the trims are on radio. They are right next
to the gimbals.

Just curious: Indoor helicopters? I would think that any flying craft
needs a lot of space. How big are these helicopters?, and how do you
navigate without smacking it into walls or ceiling without looking? It
sounds like interesting fun!
