Takeoff

Welcome to The Helipad. I'm doing this as a part of my 12-step program to deal with my addiction to remote control electric model helicopters. It all started innocently enough with the purchase of a 2-channel infrared Pico-Z clone indoor heli...In one month's time, I've bought, flown, crashed, repaired, flown, crashed, flown my 2-ch and a "few" other items the UPS guy has arrived at my door with. My deep heli-addiction has taken me virtually to the shores of England where I bought my latest toy, the 4-channel Alien Jump Jet by Snelflight. So, that's it for now...Gotta go fly.

Flight Training

Most of what I know, (besides what I learned from Warner cartoons and the Stooges), is from experience and watching You Tube videos by "taoistflyer." My first flights were all short hops with immediate crashes. Then, I started watching taoistflyer's productions and found some real nuggets. When I say "productions," I mean it...Complete with Helmet Cam, original music and CG elements. So, this video below helped me put an immediate stop to those crashes. K, going flying...
