Anybody got or had 1?
Had a few beers so im on 1 and fancy this bad boy for £115 dont really want to spend anymore becuase it will proberly get stuck in a tree or crash landed on its first outing

I remeber my m8 brought a cheaper model and couldnt get the fooker to take off
I would have thought taking off would be the easy bit but landing it would be a different kettle of fish

Bloody hard to fly! Plane is far easier although still not a doddle.

They do a cheaper model at 85 quid but i assume that is even harder to fly than the 115 bad boy

Give it a go, you can buy a dvd to watch and a learner kit which only allows the copter a few feet in the air to practise landing and take off

Hmmm................. my mum and dad got Colin one like that last Christmas. He took it out the back garden on Christmas night, on its maiden flight he crashed it over the neighbours wall and sent his dad round to ask for it back. Needless to say it never flew again

Talking of radio controlled things. In Tesco, they had a Range Rover Sport complete with boat on a trailer, about 80cm's long in total, and a surf style VW camper

TBH, unless you buy a really expensive heli, it'll be a bitch to fly.
The bigger and heavier they are, the easier but it also costs loads more.
Not worth it IMO. You'll probably just crash it and have lost £115.
