Can a man ever have enough toys?!!?? :smt023

My rule of thumb is that if it is about a tenner (or less) and looks like a giggle, it has to be mine :)

I used to be into IC RC aeroplanes in a big way ... still have about a dozen (in various states of built/repair) in the loft :oops:

whats a good one for outdoors? I have big park behind the house so it would be perfect for flying around there!

Wideboy
29-10-07, 07:52 PM
the sabre for money wise (£70 i think) but they're hard to fly

Will any of the smaller ones work outside? Bit more than I would spend right now.....

Where I live right now isn't too big, but my folks would be good for flying one of little flying around.

the picoo z would work out doors providing there is no wind, but the only go up, down, and spins round, if i remember rightly, so they're fun for indoors

Well it took me <1 day to break the first one (unlucky crash as my mate has used his daily for a month and it is still going!!) ...

Anyhoo, it was so much fun I bought another one anyway ... only this time I went for and even cuter one ...

one that looks like this ... (only mine is called a Dragonfly, not a Fairy!! :oops:!! :D)

Not only does it look more like a real helo, it flys really really well ...

It was worth the long wait from china!! :)
