Anyone who has ever tried to fly RC helicopters knows how hard,expensive and frustrating it can be. If you're really keen you do a bit of research before hand and find the co-axial type RC helicopters are the easiest to fly. Which they are.
But after a few flights you do get bored of flying under the dinner table or chasing the cat. So..... you move on to the next skill level, to a micro fixed pitch traditional RC helicopter.
Which I bet in under 5 seconds you would have crashed, breaking linkages,swash plates and puncturing the LIPO. You either spend the money on spares or you give up. I chose the second option.
I haven't brought it yet but E-flites ultra-micro Blade mSR looks to fill the need for the wannabe RC helicopter pilot to transition into flying a more traditional helicopter a lot easier than most micro RC helicopters out there. If you have owned any E-flite product, you know it's quality. These guys seem to think so and I think I'll give it a go.
Here's another USB "distraction" to have at work. A USB powered RC micro helicopter.
To charge, simply plug it into your USB port. Then buzz your cubicle neighbor, who will probably have one of these with a bit of paper taped to it saying "off". You'll get the idea.
Let the war commence....
You have seen a RC helicopter controlled by a iPhone. But have you seen a RC helicopter controlled by your voice??!!!
With this RC helicopter you can control the up and down motion with your voice by speaking into the transmitter via a earpiece. The only hiccup to this fully sick RC helicopter, is you need to know abit of Japanese/English combined.
You can still control the RC helicopter the old school way using the transmitter, but that defeats the fully sickness of this awesome RC helicopter.
