Alain, you're right, I do need a new hobby, an RC helicopter is quite possibly something in my future. PS: ease up on those illegals, they'll kill ya you know.

Hi, TrentOriginally Posted by T.Jackson
My own and only "illegals" are thoroughly kept into Old Bottles in my Cellar ... LOL.
Stopped tobacco since 1980 ... and lawn tractor abusing make me keep as far away as possible from all sorts of herbs !!!
Methanol vapours ( I'm a modeller ! ) need " a strong Alcohol glass " ( sic dixit Medicine man ...) to counterbalance the bad effects on the Brain.
RC planes ( motor or sail ) also are quite a pleasant hobby ...

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

How hard are those choppers to fly? I'm considerably tempted to go and buy one.

I guess
RC-helicopters are cheap, durable and extremely easy to fly. They are close to impossible to crash and require almost no skills and patience :-) .
hmmm... not really..... a fat wallet and lots of spareparts and hook up with a RC club with intructors or you will go mad sooner or later (or broke, or both)

Jumper is Right
Flying models really is a group hobby ... ( Instructor + pupil, then Friends + pupil, then spectators with no-more-a-pupil ...)
I've seen MANY cool clubs in Australia ...
Abusing a while from Darrel's time ( LOL ), I'd say planes have one advantage ... MUCH cheaper than Helis !!! and wooden ones can most of time be repaired at a minimum cost ...
Now we have to speak about PbP applied to model planes ...

Hmmm, probably best then that I just stick to doing my bachelors degree and officially pronounce myself a cave bound Java / C++ geek for the next five to ten years. Unfortunately I don't have a wallet full of cash to be able to go around crashing $1,000 helicopters into peoples backyards. Geez, just think of the money on lawsuits I'm gonna save too! Blah
