Default Mini RC helicopters

Anyone else have one of these? I just bought a v-max 6020-1. This thing is some serious fun around the office, pretty cheap and easy to fly. Almost indestructable. heres a linkhttp://www.rc-fever.com/copter-60201-maxz-swift-3ch-rc-helicopter-rtf-w-gyro-black-p-7398.html

I have a plane and helicopter. Definitely a fun little toy. I saw a set at target where you get a gun and the plane looks like a duck and you try and shot it down. Will probably pick that one up soon.

I was into RC huge years ago. I still have my RC10 team car somewere....a long time ago at an expo far far away I once was watching an RC hellicopter demo and it went VERY bad. The pilot had it fly way out and make its way towards the crowd and it just kept coming...until it literally crashed into the crowd. The monster copter crashed where a friend and I were watching...we ran...as did many other watchers....it hit and kept going rolling over a few people as the rotors kept turning. More exciting than scary..until one person left in an ambulance. Not sure why I wanted to share this...I guess just be safe...pilots.

nice plane and copter! I got into 1/8 scale offroad gas buggies, and dumped around $2500 into my car (inferno mp-6 international) I thought about getting into planes or copters, but was afraid of losing them or crashing hard. couldnt bring myself to put that much into a plane and lose it or wreck it.

We've had those little choppers, and they are a blast to fool around with.

Before my kids were born, I was way into R/C jets and traveled around the country competing, even earning a spot on the US team to fly in the Masters in Germany, but then burned out and sold almost everything.

Fun hobby, but time consuming- at least by me. Here's me and my Byron F-15 from back in the day, before adding markings and detail, my project for the Masters was Yellow Aircraft F-18. At the time, this F15 had a pair of K&B's brand new 100's on loan for testing:
