This Looks Interesting

Guys, take a look at this. By the looks of the transmitter, the heli is about the size of a 1/10 scale racing car.

I wonder if this is one of those shoot up in the sky and let it drop Air-Chargers or what?

Any comments?

Looks neat!

I was asking myself the question the other day, why do people say the Hoverfly (http://www.snelflight.co.uk/) is good to practice real model heli flying, when there are products like the Vectron around.

Then I realised: The Vectron is always "tail in" - i.e., it always flies in the direction the cyclic is pointed, regardless of where it is in it's rotation (neat, huh?!).

So you can't practice anything other than tail-in hovering with a Vectron, whereas a Hoverfly is like a real heli as far as orientation is concerned.

Back to this neat little model: 2 channels? Hmm... Sounds like it won't do much - maybe power on/off (i.e., up/down) and rudder? Can't look it up now 'cause I have to get up early for a job tomorrow, but you've caught my interest, thanks!!
