Solo'd yesterday!
A friend of my at the field had his .30 size heli out there. I had flown them in realflight a few times and he asked me if I wanted to try. I was pretty nervous but I did take off, hover briefly, and fly the pattern a couple times before performing a fairly stable landing!!! WOOHOO! I'm getting a helicopter!

Thanks guys, you're not kidding about the addiction. I am probably picking up this helicopter from my buddy and I'm already looking at that Bell 222 that was reviewed in RCU. Look out!

... and crashed today. [

Got one of the skids stuck in the mud on landing and when I tried to takeoff it tipped and exploded when the blades hit! It looked really bad, but after taking her apart, it ended up only being about $50 in parts to get here flying again.
