My anniversary of birth has just past by again and amongst the usual (mostly rude) cards I received a present from my only son. He obviously knows of my weakness for all things Gizmo and, much to my delight, presented me with a HELICOPTER!!.
Flying indoor micro IR Heli's (y'see I'm already into the jargon) is an acquired art which you have to learn - and it takes a little time - more than 5 minutes. SO after repeatedly crashing and crushing the poor thing I finished up with a poorly heli with a loose sprocket that won't stay attached.
I'm now well fired-up on micro heli flying so, of course had to supplement my collection and am the proud owner of a X-Heli Thunder jobby. These micro Helicopters are controlled not by radio but infra-red operating on several channels to guide the flight in both forward, back and sideways directions. The practice is now more controlled and careful and, so far, without terminal mechanical injury.
Thank you, my son, for introducing me to yet another of my many Gizmo hobbies!
. . . . sorry dear!
