Blueriver, darn you..... Now I am getting the urge again. I have had 3 before, but they were smaller ones. Now I am looking at this one. They are not cheap in Oz, but I think it would be worthwhile. No camera on this one.

Double Horse Helicopter 9053 Volitation

It is a very steady copter due to its' size and can also fly sideways and has a decent transmitter with trims.

No problem ... Glad I could get the old flame going!!! Check out Xheli.com
Price's are decent.

Nice little fella aint it? 56% saving too. Wonder if it would be worth shipping out? I can get parts here OK for it. Thanks for the link.

Well Blueriver..nice day Sunday so I decided to fly the RC Helo.

It flew well and up to about 100 feet or slightly more. Turned it to get good video and then a high breeze hit it so I set it to descend..and it did!

Right into a drainage ditch!! We could not find it, so I guess it is still filming. Once the water is down I will try to find it and see if the bloated video card will work.

Please do not tell my wife..but I am ordering another!

Best to you,

Jim

OH MAN .... Thats two wrecks this weekend that I'm aware of ... my neighbor landed his in a tree ... had his wife raise him with the FEL and he tryed a 20' stick of PVC and still couldn't reach it ... THEN (now pay attention) ... he decided to shoot the branch out with the shotgun ... yes he ordered the parts he now needs !!!

It will be interesting to watch the video card on yours ... let me know about it.

My new one's not expected until June the 6th ... I did however go swimming last night with my cell phone ... ordered a new one today.

Oh I know ... when my neighbor was telling me the story I about lost it when he started in with the shotgun !!!

I saw him today at the church putting up a new mailbox ... I pulled over and says "What happen? Someone shoot it with the shotgun!!!"

Blue... I read a tip the other day. If your cellphone gets drowned, seal it in a plastic bag of rice. Apparently it draws all the moisture out, even behind the screen. (mind you, you probably wanted a new one anyway)

Well I had heard that one as well ... I placed the order this morning for the new one ... tore as many screws out of this one as possible. In other words opened every available compartment to let out the moisture. Then about 4 this afternoon put it back together and put it on the charger ... dad gum it just a few minutes ago I was using it!!!

Samsung Rugby ... darn I just can not believe its working ... so when the new one gets here I'll put it in service and have this one for the "back up unit"
