Nick,

Somewhere around here I have a promotional video that I got from GMP, the company that was linked to Hirobo back when I had my first nitro heli. (my GMP Cobra had many Hirobo parts)

At the end of the video, they had a little part on this experimental 1/5 scale Hind D heli that they built for the US Army, for target practice (!!!!!!)...

This thing was HUGE, about 10 feet long, and had a 350cc motorcycle engine in it!

It showed it spooling up, and slowly taking off, it looked very cool, very life like because of it's size and weight, and flew it around, it flew really well... and brought it back in for a smooth landing.

TARGET PRACTICE???!!!! I wonder how many of those cool helis got shot down?

Oh well, the military has plenty of money, I guess!!
