Micro R/C helicopters!

Posted by: 4seasonphoto on 2008-12-23 19:16:38 I sort of went crazy over these things last week, but I'm all better now [😀] ]'> I am amazed at how much technology one gets for the hobby dollar these days. All carbon fiber, super mini gyroscopes, micro motors, lithium polymer batteries and newfangled 2.4 ghz digital radio. The white and red Walkera 4#3B may look flashier, but it was actually a bit less expensive than the yellow Blade MCX outfit. Walkera is speedier but also tweakier and not as easy to fly for this novice (I suck at it so far). Blade MCX is just as sweet and precise an indoor flyer as you please.
