My crash cost me $10,000 in the real thing..+ a broken ankle. The ego loss
was bigger than it would have been with an RC.

It helps to have one of the RC helicopter distributors be a sponser too.
When a single light crash cost over $600 you tend to be a bit
conservative.
I don't fly RC any more, the real thing is cheaper and easier.

" Ok??? You're a better man that me, Scott. You got a video of this?
I'm
not saying I disbelieve you. I've seen some pretty wild stunts in the
past few years but nothing like what you just described. Sounds like
it
would be "real" interesting to watch! ;-)

`Hi Steve,
Once you got over the fear of paying for parts, it wasn't that tough.
The sad thing about it is having a 14 year old punk kid show you how
easy
it
is.

It is humiliating to have them show you what they can do, I saw this kid
do
a rolling
circle for a warm up.

Scott.
