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.

Hangar Flying
If you're gonna fly the helicopters, you gotta be able to fix the helicopters. I found this out on day one. You'll need Crazy Glue or my favorite; SureHold Plastic Surgery. It's good stuff because it grabs hold in about 15 seconds. My experience with Crazy Glue is not that great but some people swear by it. Next, you'll need patience! The glue may have stuck but if you charge that heli back up and fly it right away, guess what's gonna happen...BOINNGGGG! So, another bit of advice, have more than one helicopter to fly. That way you can get that flying-fix while your baby is in the hanger waiting for the glue to set. I'm up to five helis...Yes, I said earlier that my addiction is deep-seated. Start out with just a couple, though...Until you decide that the hobby is for you. If your hand-eye coordination is dicey, maybe just take up golf. You can also spend a ton of money there, and it takes much less hand-eye coordination to be successful at it! Gonna go fly now...
