The most fun I've had for $23.62 ...

So WHO bent it? Hope you can put some video up sometime. hint hint

I'm SURE it must have been my Grand Daughter - I doubt that it could have been caused by me the one time it dropped like a rock from 60 feet in the air when I accidentally turned the transmitter off

Yup, I'll post a video, but will have to either get the shaft taken care of or wait for the new heli with the camera. We're going on a cruise next week (Grammie, Grand Daughter, and a former Army buddy and his family). It always works out great taking the kids and/or grand-kids. Grammie parks herself in the casino on the boat and I go get into mischef with the kids. We then all meet up for sight-seeing.

This retired stuff is hard work...:cool2:

I've been to busy with other stuff until early this morning .... it was quiet and the flying conditions where perfect ... 2 quarters taped to the front help the forward motion.

Doug ... when you turned that transmitter off ... did you get a sinking feeling?

Well, it's been a while since any postings. Have all the choppers been broken? I never got another one because my wife bought me a radio controlled electric glider. Now this spurred me on a bit and I resuscitated my little PC9 from the barn since it has been sitting there for several years and have now successfully flown it and added a gyro to the ailerons and it is a fast and fun machine. As I am unable to walk far now (spinal stenosis) I had to give up my gold prospecting and this has given me a new lease of life.
The glider is a Radian and performs remarkably well for what it is. It has had many flights now and is still in perfect condition. I just need a camera for it but I have to save my $$$ first. Hope you guys are all keeping well.

Just bought a camera after looking around at all the tiny ones. This one seems to have great reviews and I know a bloke who has one and he loves it. Takes real good quality vid and photos. I can strap this onto the glider or plane and take vids of the area. Spy Video Camera (Mini) Keychain | The Personal Security Company

I'd bought a similar unit a while back. It worked fine, when I could get it to work that is. The instructions were badly translated from Chinese and difficult to understand clearly. Had to press buttons and hold etc to get it to operate. I finally set it aside and now don't know where it is.

Hope you have better luck.

It works great Gary. In fact so good I am going to get the HD one as well. My wife thinks it is great and that is a winner for me...:laughing:
It came with english instructions and it is very simple to use.
