    Triple deuce,

    Nice truck my friend. Those are like tanks! I've been involved in R/C's cars since 1985 and raced 10th scale off road, 12th scale road cars. Got into 1/8 nitro cars in 2000... Besides dirt bikes my father keep me busy with this hobby, which kept me out of trouble. LOL! THANKS DAD! I got rid of a lot of stuff over the years. I probably would still be driving my nitro car today if a temp at work wouldn't have dropped a pallet on my radio crushing it. It was an accident and I really wanted to dismember him, but I forgave him. He was stacking pallets to built a launch ramp for me.

    Now, I fly electric 3 channel and 4 channel heli's. The 3 channels helis are for indoor only and the 4 channel is a monster a and is strictly outdoor, so rain or shine we as a family get or flight time in. Both of my girls have their own 3 channel heli's.

    Now day's the addiction is RF and its BAD! Thanks for sharing the pictures triple deuce and 351.

    When I was laid up from my last surgery, I bought 3 of those 3 channel Heli's. What a blast. I even bought all the small tools and what not to repair them. I built one my using parts from 2 other one's and lightened it way up, and then added a second battery to it to get more air time. Went from around 7 minutes to almost 15 minutes. I built one that was so light, it's super hard to control cuz it's like a hummingbird. That stuff is fun.

    I really wanted to get a big Heli for outside, but then I got better, and went to the dark side of Ham/CB radio. Now I spend whatever I can on this junk. LOL!

    Yes sir, I did the quad copter thing as well, I have an ar drone and a 1sq which is a palm sized quad copter, but it will fly outdoors like a champ. The ar drone is cool , in have a remote that plugs into my iPad and it looks like a ps2 controller. The ar drone is fun for video, but it's not a real good one. Before I got back into this I was going to get a DJI PHANTOM VISION. But the radio bug bit me and so the story goes lol.

    Just don't hook a 1 1/2 year olds pacifier to the skids of a 3 channel and fly around the house with it dangling. After a few minutes you will find you heli batted out of the air with a sofa pillow! My youngest daughter didn't think it was funny. Lol!
