This past month I have purchased 2 planes and just bought a new helicopter, all intended for indoor radio-controlled fun. I learned real quick that flying devices require a lot of concentration and some trial/error when learning to fly - in short, buy spare parts as you’re likely to break lots of them.

The kitten looking on as I open up the new toy “is that for me?”.

I test flew the helicopter in my living room, with minimal space, but managed to maintain a hover in front of the television long enough for Jamie to take a photograph.

Of course, I broke the helicopter as it bumped items in the living room, breaking pieces that I had already purchased replacement parts for. I have re-built it a few times now, usually after my idiotic attempts to fly it in a space about 5 feet cubed. Once I find a nice open space for flying, I assume I’ll then not need it, but at least I’ll run less risk of breaking parts and the bank.
