I have gone through over 3 helicopters trying to figure this ish out. I feel like Rob and Big when they wanted to try flying RC heli's.

I have come to the conclusion I suck and have since moved to the real deal....seems to be quite a bit easier but still as sensitive.

^^^Heli's are just so much more fun to me. Planes....meh....I can't fly those in my front yard.

Im a lazy pilot...if I have to drive to the airport....Im probably not going to fly it. lol

Not to mention...airstrips are much more expensive to build than a helipad.

I have a bunch of backyard flyers right now, they are fun for messing around and can take serious hits more importantly haha, I am not sure if I am ready to make the jump to hobby grade ( and actually learn how to fly)

I also have a bunch of micro heli's to fly around the house , they are tons of fun

Helis are a lot more difficult but I'm getting there. If your not iterested in driving to an airfield, you can fly at your local highschool or middleschool with an electric plane

Easy Star + brushless FTW. There is an airfield in my neighborhood.

I also have a traxxas rampage for the back trails...need to find a vid I made of it jumping 30+ feet and landing perfectly.

never really got into street cars...too much carnage when things go wrong LOL.
