Re: NEW drug.. (attention plz pilots..)

I have one sitting in my office

They've been around awhile. I posted elsewhere that a group of guys I work with had these before Christmas.

The one in that picture has been modified with paper below the rear boom, and either side of the body, presumably to help trim it a little.

Out of the box they need trimming else they don't fly very well (you only have 2 channels for throttle and left/right, done by tail rotor speed). A bit of noseweight does wonders to make them fly forward,and so steer better.

They are a little fragile, as the tail rotor blades break real easy.
Be aware that to fly them outside they are not radio controlled, but Infra red, and if you get to high or too far away they lose contact and crash quite spectacularly...
A good laugh though
