I think the electric heli business is booming because of the advance of battery tech and because there are more people flying at home in their front yard as opposed to going to the field...or maybe in my case cold weather is keeping me close to home at the schoolyard instead of the field,,our club has 2 fields , one has a heli field the other doesnt..and I agree when one of those .60 glow heli fires up, everybody either watches or watchesout...so many heli flyers are flying/hovering at eye level, and thats part of the problem..we have a pro here and the first time I saw him , he was walking 5 feet from his heli at eye level walking up and down the field,,I thought this guy is nuts!!...I have a cheap LMH, but plan to get a trex 450 soon ,,tax refund ...Rog
