Status: offline 		I've watched a lot of you tube videos of people crashing their helis today. I've come to the conclusion that I, or we, are crazy :P It takes a lot of guts, a small amount of arrogance, a large amount of faith in hardware/gear, and good amount of inner competitiveness to be an rc heli pilot. The more videos I watched, the more I realized that what I am doing when flying my heli is trying to keep 3 VERY FAST blades horizontal in the air, while maintaining enough altitude otherwise, the first battle has already been lost!

And the more I think about how difficult this is, I am certain that I will NEVER ride in a real helicopter lol!

Just browsing sites, looking at my HBFP and wanted to share my insanity. Cheers!

Status: offline 		Crashing looks and feels cool and fun but when you go close to it and look at the repair $$$ you'll start scratching back of your head lol
