    I remember seeing the website that was developing the prototype of that toy. They made a working version that is about the size of a pencil. I want to get one of those 1/7th scale model helicopters to play around with but I've heard you are guaranteed to crash and destroy your first one.

    :lol:

    Well there are some nice training ones out there that are pretty resiliant - theres also some addons you can get to keep them more stable and less likley to bash their rotors.

    edit: these ones look pretty neat http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/rc/8d19/

    That is sweet looking.

    I just landed VFR at some airport in Alaska. Man, that was fun! I flew right over a cruise ship.

    I just flew a jet from Edinburgh to Glasgow Scotland. I think my passengers got sick with that trip.

    Flight Simulator eh? I miss that game. I would fly passenger jets sideways through the antenna on top of the sears tower, but then 9/11 happened and I didn't do that anymore :(

    Fun times though. I remember I turned fuel off and did a trip around the world (time compression was at something like 4-8x)

    I have up to flight simulator 2004. Never got flight simulator X though...

    That's pretty sweet, hamma. that'd be awesome for my dorm at college. Is it durable? Have you crashed it yet?

    It's fairly durable I guess, I mean if you step on it or slam down really hard it could break. The gears are pretty flimsy so you have to be careful none the less.

    I've crashed a fair amount of times :p got sstuck on the cieling a few times (getting close to walls, roof = bad its like a vortex lol) and it's only lost gear alignment a couple times.
