Cast-Away

Hey Mike, did you get the hottub hooked up yet?

For years I've thought about flying remote control helicopters and this past week I finally bought one. I've been following do-it-yourself flying instructions for a week now, and am still on the ground! Boy are these things tough to fly. I bought a stunt version, so it is more difficult to learn, but will be more satisfying in the long run. I figure that it will take at least a year to get fairly proficient at flying a helicopter. Check out the videos below! Here is a picture of the heli: Here is an OFC style video of a heli in flight: Here is a great stunt video showing what these machines can do: Helicopter Stunts

Thanks for all of the advice guys! I knew going into the purchase that the CP Pro was quite difficult to learn and am willing to put in the hours to master it because I want to be able to do advanced flying with it in the future. If I can't master it on my own, I plan on joining the local club and getting some help.

I just purchased a CP Pro helicopter yesterday as a new hobby. The learning curve is quite steep, so I thought that it would be a great off-season hobby. One of the local RC clubs meets at a school right near my house, so once I get proficient at flying, I might join their club in order to enjoy a bigger venue. Anyone else fly heli's or planes? I'd like to hear some comments from others. Thanks

great memories, thanks Dan

I have two suggestions for you. One is to put in neutral and then into gear and back to neutral again in order to control your docking speed. The other thing that you can do is trim up the motor in order to slow things down.

Great shots guys! Here are few of mine. My dog swam by when I was crouched down in the water to take this scenery shot. Here is my fishing buddy at the end of her rope in our backyard watching her favourite pals. You should see her reaction in the boat when she sees a fish on the line!

The guy that you saw get busted talked about it on Andy's site. Here is the link:Musky Striker

Awesome news thanks!

Troutslayer, is there an outboard on the back of that sauna? Sturgman, you stole my dog!
