Where can I see helicopters take off?

It's a shame you don't live next to Middle Wallop air base.... Lot's of helicopters flying in & out all day.

HAC?

Honourable Artillery Company, as already mentioned in the thread. Your rogue initialism detector has thrown up a false positive.

Update: Still haven't been to see any. However his toy collection has increased.

This was supposed to be his xmas present, but he was sick on the weekend and since he is too young to understand xmas, he got it early.

When I first took it out and flew it, he was terrified so packed it back up thinking he was too young, A hour later he wanted it again and is now happily flying(crashing) it into ceiling and walls.

Impressed how the product has stood up to the abuse so far considering it was only £20 (apologies to any small kids in China making them for pennies).

Sorry, didn't read every post.

As a result, it was a TRUE positive - for me.

If he's too young to understand Christmas, my hunch is that he may be a bit too young to fly a remote controlled helicopter.

This isn't really a "dad" present by any chance?

Nope- otherwise would have been a drone with an amazing video camera on it

Wasn't a planned purchase as such, I was in a Lidl and it was one of their weekly offers. Not so much for him to fly as such, he can't yet co-ordinate the up/down analogue stick on the left with the turn/back/forward on the right, it was more a chance to see 'that thing up in the sky' up close and moving in the air around him. His two other helicopter toys are more imaginative play.
