Mint Sauce's new toy..!

[Sibbers]

One of them anyway...

He got a phat RC helicopter that cost too much to crash so he's gotten another smaller cheaper thing for about £150 odd... pretty cool fun, check out the vids (which are 7 and 6MB respectively) :thumbs:

Thanks for posting the ones where I crash errrr..... I mean have to emergency land. :o

[Sibbers]

hahaha soz I was gonna tell you.. and I was gonna post the pics of you flying well but I think this shows just how difficult it is to fly these things.

well worth the download just cuz its so funny.

maybe we can follow it up with another, better example of veteran flying :)

[Mint_Sauce]

lol, not many of me not crashing tho :rolleyes: We should take some vid of the Raptor in action :cool:

[brucy]

Looking good :thumbs:

how much did the electric one set you back? :)

[wolfie]

that looks cool!
is it easier to fly than a petrol heli?
i had a petrol heli but it sorta hit the floor a bit too hard sideways :D
geez,there hard to fly!!!

[Mint_Sauce]

Feels exactly the same as my nitro heli apart from being a bit more skitterish :thumbs: Brilliant to train on, it's built to be crashed, just the rotor blades get damaged but they just pop off and new ones are cheap from your local model shop. Set me back £150 and sets up in no time, less than repairing the nitro one after one crash so worth the investment :D You will need a 6 channel handset tho. Ebay should have loads tho.

Forgot to mention, although it uses three little props to fly the outcome feels the same as it's bigger bro and you can do exactly the same stuff on it, apart from 3D (flying upside down etc).

Mint - we'll get some video of your propper chopper flying later :D

It really is a beast. I have no idea why you don't want to let me have a go :wack:
