Not me, my OH. He is now buying small helicopters that can be flown indoors. He has two and is looking to buy a third. I suppose it keeps him out of mischief. (Well it does as long as he doesn't break anything!!) :-D :-D |

He is not brave enough to fly it in the lounge but flies it in the spare bedroom where there is nothing of value. Second childhood but not suicidal :-D :-D |

I bought two of those as presents the Christmas before last Ann. Oh the fun we had trying to fly the bleddy things. The wind took hold of one of them and it took us forever to find it. We eventually found it in someones back garden. |

He is getting better. The first he bought had to come from Hong Kong, took four weeks ant the tail rotor motor wouldn't work. After much discussion and he had to send a video to the firm, they refunded the money but said don't return it. He then managed to fix it. |

Yep boys toys. Don't think he will move on to the larger ones, nowhere to fly them. He will probably resort back to flying on the PC again. |

I bought my OH one the xmas before last, to fly outside. It ended up in a tree in the woods but son got it out. The following day both sons bought one and they lasted about 4 hours. Expensive to buy the parts for them but good fun if you can master them. |
