Great aren't they, just wait till you get your self a single rotor chopper, the fun will turn into shear fear.... best get a Phoenix flight sim and practice.

You want one of these LOL!

I got the same one for Xmas - it's brilliant, but the battery now only lasts for about 3 mins of flying time and the tail fin is held on with cellotape

Parrrrrrrrrrr, it'll be fine.

Possibly the most stupid stunt I've ever seen! A 90 class heli would take your head off without problem!
You'd like to think a few beers were involved, which, to be fair, makes it even worse!
Good video though LOL

[DayTrader]

HAHA! That is ridiculous!!!

I get more nervous flying my Twister 3D (outdoors!!) than I do flying my real aircraft!

If you think that one is fun try one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverlit-Z-Century-4-Chan... , I have one and it's brilliant.

It is Vario. I bought it from a mate who had it built but can't fly them The Robbe
Mossie is a good heli, they've been making it for ages. Cut my teeth on the XXL, fond memories of the side start
and auto unit Crashed it a few times until I cracked it (flying) and then converted it to the Hughes 300.

The Vario's a beast! 27lbs flying weight takes some throwing around! Only runs 850RPM head speed and makes a very realistic
blade slap in the descent. Love it!
Good luck with the Mossie!

That's pushing it for an indoor heli! the chap in Life's Too Short could commute to work in that.

That's a full size R22......he's just got a massive kitchen.

Very, very nice. I wish I could find a vario but they seem to be quite thin on the ground second hand. I'm a Kyosho Concept man, but couldn't resist the Moskito R22. Hope to seal the deal soon...!

Www.concept30.Co.UK is my website. A few pics there...

That's a cracking collection! Took me back some of them! My first was an MFA 500 flown (very nearly lol) without gyro! Second was a Kalt Cyclone 2, how they've progressed now!

I'll take a pic of my lot together, wife reckons I need help LOL

I bought one of these the other day on whim.



CCPM, flybarless head, triple axis gyro, fully 3D capable and all in the palm of your hand. A few years ago, not even the top end uber expensive 90 size gassers could muster these features.

Absolutely amazing little thing!

They are fantastic! I always recommend these to peeps as a first model heli. Pretty tough and flies in exactly the same manner as larger models. If you crack it you'll
be able to move up and sh.t yourself with a grand's worth next LOL They do some cracking "bling" for the MCPX as well!

I very nearly bought a similar one when I was in Japan that had a camera on it, you could record movies from it onto SD cards, very cool.
