Cool Remote Control Enthusiasts - Chime in.

Well I bought a $40 Infra Red RC Helicopter on Saturday. Was extremely happy with it. Flown it a dozen times or so, including into walls, roof, floor, furniture and pugs.....

Started getting pretty good at it. But then I think I broke the stabiliser bar or something that connects the stabiliser to the props.

Took it back to where I bought it and now a 12 day wait on repair commences. Good news is no repair is more than $15

The thought of being without a RC Chopper for up to 12 days after vertually just getting one was bothering me.

So I bought a second $40 RC Chopper. Same brand, different make. I figured when I get the other one back from repair i'll be able to fly one, while the other one is charging and vice versa.

Anyway I figured a lot of you on here could have all kinds of cool RC stuff. Post up your pics and specs in this thread.

I also intend on getting an Parrot AR Drone 2.0 when they are released. You can control them via your iPhone or Android phone. Here is a review of the Parrot AR Drone 2.0

Here is a pic of my chopper charging, then a pic of it charged, then a pic of the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 I want when it's released. Make sure to read the review and watch the video in the review.
