wasnt me starting heli flying lessons. i thought about that when i was in my 20's. $46,000 then now its like $69,000. i cant afford that. um but i did crash my heli this weekend due to radio interference. the heli did the floppy chicken and dem'od itself. i have most of the parts to get back in the air but im missing the main gear...main shaft...and rotor baldes and centre hub..... and they were out of stock on them. grrr. im still gorunded till they come in stock.
