Default Already looking :)

Believe it or not, I'm already looking ahead, as I *know* I will waste this bird,
sooner or later. I can accept that, and for what it cost me, it won't hurt *so* bad.

I read through Kirk's buildup of his Falcon 50, and saw this link: http://www.centuryheli.com/

I instantly homed in on what would be my second plastic beginner's heli
The Hawk IV looks like it would be fine, and for a good combo price. (With Gyro or crash kit)
Well, that's if I waste the little Concept before the summer's over, I see.
I think I'll go practice when I get off work. I can't crash if I don't fly!


On another note... is there anything "wrong" with using idle-up while learning hover?
Other than using a bunch of extra fuel, I can't think of anything, myself...
The more I thought about it, after my adventure, the more I think it would
be more stable, unless my newbie reasoning is just "off" on this one. Anyone?
