I don't know if Jason (my BF) is lucky. I'm just weird (not many girls care about R/C hobbies) Perhaps he was born under an unlucky star... Some of my good friends tease me about playing with toys, but it's all in fun. I guess I picked up R/C just so I could have one more thing in common with Jason. It used to be me just standing around watching him zip his little cars around on the street or parking lot or at a race and not being involved at all - kinda boring. I've always had some interest in mechanical things and Jason expressed some desire to try R/C flight, so I decided to get the jump on him and get myself a R/C heli. As far as it is now, I really like this little toy! It also really helps to have someone who has all the R/C specific tools and gear. I never used the slow wall charger that came with the heli. Jason's fast-charger can handle all kinds of batteries and charges them up in less than an hour.


Yeah, I think I will add on some tail fins later. I plan to use Jason's airbrush and paint on some pretty designs to make my heli look cool. How do you attach the fins? Super glue?

Human Enigma, you smoothed out the clicking of the throttle stick? Are you supposed to have a smooth moving throttle stick so you can constantly make blade speed changes to keep your heli at a certain height? Like I said before, my heli will dip and rise as I make correctional inputs, so I'm also supposed to make throttle inputs to keep it level? So far, I'm just keeping the throttle stick at a certain level and just moving it left and right to keep the tail steady.

I feel stupid for asking this, but what are the correct terms for heli anatomy and movements?
