looks fun.
i'd rather get a quadricopter, HK sells the controllers for like 15$!

Paddy ... I have been bitten by the flight bug. I picked up one of these for $17.50 shipped. It's a blast to fly!

Chuck,
Thanks for posting that m8. You have sold me on one of these. I have never seen a mini copter so precise in it's movements. Love it and have get me one of these. Just what I need for those days when I can't go boating because of the wind.
Talking of flying I was out flying my glider this morning. I still love my flying.
Had my little Xzess 2 flying on 3s late in the afternoon (126 kph or 78.29 mph on 3s). You can read more on my next post

Well guys I had my little Xzess 2 out late this afternoon. It was so dark on the last run I had to walk up the lake to see the boat so I could turn it for the run back to the other end.
On the first 3s lipo I ran an andym X442 and the speed was 116 kph or 72.08 mph. On the next 3s I ran an andym M545 and the speed went to 126 kph or 78.29 mph. Not bad for 3s but I still have one of Andy's M645 props to run yet and if the little 1515 0.5 Y can swing that prop I am hoping to see 80+ mph on a tired old boat and a 3s lipo. I am very tempted to buy another Xzess 2 and build another one. If only the factory had left the winglets off when they were building them these little hulls would have sold in the thousands. Even at 78 mph there is no sign of the boat lifting off the water

Setups
3s lipo, andym X442, Neu 1515 0.5 Y, Hydra 240 lv = 116 kph or 72.08 mph
3s lipo, andym M545, Neu 1515 0.5 Y, Hydra 240 lv = 126 kph or 78.29 mph

Thanks for the props Andy.

Paddy, this was my first flying experience and it's easy to control. It took me about 10 - 15 minutes to get used to the controller and flight characteristics. Now I can fly it in a room full of stuff and no worries.

Fantastic Chuck. Sounds like just my sort of model . I wonder if they make a bigger model that fetches beer from the fridge.
Best price I have found on one yet is $27 but even at that price they are cheap. I can just imagine the little Chinese Dragon (June) getting angry with me as I buzz my copter around her while she sun-bakes out on the back patio. Fly it upside down and I could give her a Brazillian . That thought alone makes me want one.

Paddy, the S107G is strictly and an indoor toy ... the slightest breeze will reek havoc on the way it flies ... I tried. I am waiting on a reply from someone who has a Blade CP Pro that is a 6 channel 3D that is about 2.5 times bigger. Hopefully I am not getting over my head on this to quick.

Chuck, please keep me posted on the Blade if you get one. If they are not too hard to fly then I might try one too. It would be nice to fly a copter in a gentle breeze as well as inside. A few years ago a copter was a good way to kiss your money goodbye but the latest ones are much easier to fly for sure.
Just as a matter of interest I got a price on an Xzess 2 hull from H&M and it was a little over $200 which is half the price I paid for the old one I have now. If I can get 80 mph on 3s I am going to buy a new one. My old hull is looking very tired after hitting me once, the edge of the lake twice, 3 fires and many blow-overs before removing the winglets. I think it is only the Packers girl that holds it all together

Be careful, you're bordering on the dark side.

Thanks Doc. Let me know if I owe you any plastic. Might have found a home for that Czechoslovakian chocolate block in a MHZ Drambuie On Ice if we can arrange reasonable shipping.

[Flying Scotsman]

Paddy, good to see you are back after visiting a lot of female lavatories....the hulls you are looking at are really neat boats. I have never owned or run the Drambuie On Ice and await your lucid video with baited breath.

All the best,

Douggie

Hey Wayne ever hear of a Flaming a$$hole thats Drambuie in a shooter glass then lit on fire - then down the hatch . I got pretty good at doing these and it was a real crowd pleaser if you could set the glass down and its still on fire . one evening drinking with friends I waited to long and when I tipped it up I burnt my lips and in the process spat it all over the microwave lighting that on fire . Certainly got me out of the habit of doing those to often .

Drambuie - one of my all time favorite shooter drinks -

I have one off those micro copters + its larger brother - unbelievable control for such a small craft and cheep like borscht

My girlie friend loves "Jaffa's"
crushed ice, 2 shots cointreau, single piece of dark chocolate, cap of brandy poured over , and a match
Ignite, brandy melts choc.. now hot on top, ice at base.. one shot down the hatch.
Screaming heat Vs ice cold, with throat numbing chaser built in.
After 3 of these she's a lot more cute and a lot less shy.
I love that she loves jaffa's !!!



Jaffa's are also Australian candy ..dark choc center with hard orange shell, in 1/2" balls... .
