Christmas goodies are coming in.

This year, I ordered up micro helis for all of the adult children to destroy on Christmas morning. Still waiting on 2 more to show up but I cant wait to watch the mayhem in the living room come Christmas morning. I'm going to charge them all up before we wrap them so they're ready to go. Only 2-3 of them can be flown at the same time (mine is a 2.4ghz that hasnt arrived yet) but I dont think I'm going to tell them and just sit back and enjoy the carnage Only 4 of them are going to the same place.

That's awesome!

Are those infrared?

I bought my nephew a Scout CX heli and my father a Hobby Zone Champ. The local club flies micros indoors over the winter.

Very cool idea!! Try to get some video.

Yea, those are all infrared. I'll try to get the video; none of them have flown helis before (not that these are too tough being 3 channel coax). I expect the woman and pets be chased mercilessly

Hah, well I'll fess up with what I bought myself for Christmas. My wife, son, and daughter will be happy with theirs so it's not like I'm a Grinch (my son is getting a FT RC10B4 kit).

I'm really excited to start this build. Can't decide if I want to get anymore parts to have at the ready when I build it in addition to those hubs (youch! $$) and the RPM arms. Maybe the Avid RC motor plate, still reading and learning on rctech.net.

I bought a bunch of those style helis for my groomsmen as thank you presents at my wedding. 7 grown men, very......very drunk, flying these things around a hotel. Not a hotel room but the hotel lobby, atrium, elevators, everywhere. It was amazing.

This is what I'm waiting for to show up:

How cool is that!!!

I got one of the helicopters a few years ago - it seems they've improved since then, mine was a 'PiccoZ' which you kinda guided around rather than fly with any kind of positive control.. I brought two more - one for my dad & one for my uncle & all three flew differently. These latest helis seem much more positive & more scale looking too
