I have a blade mx2 (indoor helicopter). The next step up the line is CX2 (indoor helicopter). Comes with wooden propellers. (And can be flown upside down, Sound pretty dangerous to me.) Wife, and dog hate it. Have killed quit a few house plants with it. Wanted to get the feel for them, Before I got an expansive outdoor model. And smashed the crap out of it. Besides it was something to do during winter, and stuck in the house.

 

This is my current R/C toy. Its a Traxxas T-maxx 2.5 with full RPM skid plating and control arms, harder than stock springs, homemade intake, homemade straight pipe exhuast stack, and a Proline H1 body... That will soon be replaced with a Proline Jeep Cherokee body painted to match my XJ

 

I forgot about the Rc chopper I had. It was electric and from Hobby Town. It was a Blade but I don't remember whcih one. Had the new Lipo batteries.
I messed with that thing out in my shop about 45 minutes everyday for about 2 months and never could get into a stable hover. I never really crashed it but did scrape the rotor blades a couple of time pretty good.
I almost feel like if I was in a small plane and the pilot died I MIGHT could land it and live. In a Chopper I might as well jump out at 1000 feet cause there just is no way in this would I could fly it. Just too many things going on at one time. I think it is a pure talent anybody can fly one big or small

That's where I got mine, Hobby Town. I was talking with a sales clerk about Helios. The guy take this model Blade MX2 from under the counter (Every worker there had one, and this his was personal one) Fires it up, and it's hovering about two feet off the counter. And it just stayed there, no spinning around, or jenking side to side. He sat the controller down on the counter. And left to wait on another costumer. (For five min. this helio never moved.) I was amazed, and afraid to touch the controller, with all the expanse stuff hanging from their ceiling. But I did buy one before I left. And it take me a day to trim out the controller. Now mine will hover in the same spot with out touch the controls. There pretty neat. My problem is all pilot error now!

 

here's my fleet

 

Holy crap.... those planes are saweet!

 

thanks, there's more money there then I care to admit.

the XJ crawler
the middle is my traxxas slash 1/16th, velineon brushless system, dual 1200 batteries, parrallel connector and series for when i wanna do like 55mph haha, and it has some more things.

the far right is my HPI wheely king 4x4, this one originally came with the battery in back, sway bar, i reversed everything so the battery is upfront. i was gonna make a crawler out of it but didnt get around to it when i got out of r/c. now that im back in, i put in my mamba max 5700 brushless motor and ESC, gotta regear it but it works for now. running a stock traxxas radio but wanna get a spektrum receiver in it soon too.
