Great plane to take out for a relaxing flight, not like a helicopter.

Easy to land too.... at least Jeff makes it look that way.

Most of the new airplanes that are in ARF form are very easy

Helicopter fun in
the hovering area
At Lorain County R/C Club we have a
helicopter hovering area for helicopter pilots to do ground work and not have to
worry about airplanes. Here are some pictures of Bill Tracy having some fun
picking up half a tennis ball with part of a plastic coat hangar for a hook.
Plastic must be used, metal to metal on the landing gear would not be a good
thing. And the hangar was cut short enough so as not to go into the main rotor
blades. Safety is a MUST for Bill.

For some reason the helicopter does not hover as stable while there is something near it.

|
|
|
Still wobbly, but getting closer

|
|
|
Now come on! Gotta have it now!
