I think thats the only thing I havent broken yet, Crashcrash. *knock on wood* [&:]

I'm actually getting braver in the 4x8 space of death I have to fly in (the kitchen again). Today I managed to hover about 5 feet in the air under relatively great control! The plastic blades managed to go through a cardboard box and remain undamaged, although I did come dangerously close to breaking the blade holders and the flybar ended up twisted... but just to where I had to twist the little flybar blade back into place (worked fine after that). I did discover that the higher I fly... the more control I seem to have. I suppose this is due to the airflow from the blades not rebounding from the floor right back into the heli. Talk about fun!

To Heyok: I'm not sure how well those paint sticks will work, so let me know! Plus let me know how long they took to make . I think you'll like the plastic blades alot, those wooden ones are definitely not designed to be forgiving for us beginners. JCS Hobbies is the company that makes my immortal (as of yet) set of blades.
