Those cheesy little electric POS "helicopters" (not just this one; never heard of it, in fact) are getting all too common around here. I've been approached a lot by people who heard I fly helis and want some help.
In the first place, I USED to fly helis. In the second, I don't have time enough for my own hobby interests these days. In the third place (and this is the BIG no-go), every one of these guys I've seen just want someone else to do the work so they can play. They have no interest in learning any aspect of helicopters except how to fly it. Not on my dime...
Then don't help them.
If it were not for these POS heli's I would not have started flying them. After 20 years flying planks all I found was a bunch of ******* heli guys that would not help a guy learn no matter how much I wanted to learn. So after I found one of these POS helis' I now have several helis, from Blade CP's to .50s and planning on buying a .90 soon. Can hover inverted, piro flip and do rolling auto's....All due to getting a 200 buck POS and getting bit by the bug. I don't plan on getting the ******* attitude I often see. In fact before I moved to Dallas, most of the heli guys I knew seemed to try and keep people away.
These POS helis bring people into the hobby. If they do not have the mentality, they will fade away after dropping a few bucks on the way out. While I can understand your attitude....Hell, I think everyone should have to build their second plane...But not gonna happen. Like it or not these toys are the future and the people behind the sticks are the people that will keep this hobby alive.
