Going to spend at least the next two weeks in trial!
Not going to be doing a whole lot else during that time. So maybe by the time I am done we will have VIN numbers and delivery dates.

I used to fly RC planes and helis - I had an Extra 300 fixed wing, and a hirobo shuttle heli. Had to sell the heli cause I couldn't fly the dang thing. Believe me, it takes practice! Tower hobbies is a good place to check out for all your RC gear.

Ouch! Man, that's SOME boom strike. Looks like he didn't break the main blades, though. All things considered, it looks like a pretty inexpensive repair bill.
What kind of helicopter is that? An X-Cell 60? I like the canopy. And I like the header tanks, too.

NSANY,
Yea, blades are still intact. Prolly shouldn't hurt the wallet that bad.
The heli is a Kalt, uses the CCPM technology for controling pitch and such. Has a venturi intake, new muffler, anodized aluminum parts all under the canopy. I do have some stories to tell, maybe lil later, getting tired.
