handles e-flight stuff. The glow in the dark stuff is on backorder right now. But they have other parts for it. It's amazing how small they're making stuff now.

Oh.....you're in deep now!
It's funny how the mini stuff turns out to be the most fun.
Two of them? You didn't learn the first time did you? Been there. Besides light fixtures, a couple years ago, I took out my guitar with my t-rex in the basement. Two big slashes right through the body of it. (acoustic)
In fact a friend of mine took out his own finger (still has bits of carbon fiber under his skin), and my back with the same heli.(I turned away just in time to avoid having it cuisinart my face)
We laughed all the way to the emergency room.
These things can turn the most stoic of us into giggling children.

I LOVE mine! I picked mine up from the hobby shop 2 hours after they got delivered there. I had been waiting and waiting, and they finally came in

These things are awesome they take a pounding too. I fly one around our LHS, and after many many clipped signs and 8ft falls to the ground, ive only managed to break the upper rotor head
Also, for those who want a little more forward out of it, tape a dime to the front of the nose

Got one about 3wks ago and its been a blast!! Have managed to break one uppee blade set only and I'm actually getting better, lol!! I'll have to try the dime trick. It is a little strange it flies in reverse about 2x what it does in fwd.
Mine does a little better if I move elevator stick fwd and back, fwd and back while flying fwd - it goes faster than just holding it. Mine sems to almot stop going fwd after several feet if I just hold it fwd.
I bough a few extra lipos too - makes the fun last longer!! Was exploring the other day and saw a bigger 1S lipo, think it was a 135mah, but I can't seem to find it again.

well, i broke my blade shaft at the top, and everyone is telling me there is at least a 2 week wait for it. So the guy at my local hobby shop helped me fix it with a little model glue and some .31 brass tubing cut .25" long

anyone know if there are any aluminum or carbon fiber parts in the works for this thing? I could use something a bit stronger than plastic.
