Youll knock great craic out of it gfalls :D :D

Its tricky enough to get the hang of manoeuvring it around,
Also theres ment to be huge delays in postage from hong kong right now so expect a couple of weeks id say.

I predict a helicopter race at the next meet...

I wonder if they'd do one with wee guns on it.

I had to come back with an update. the chopper is COOL! so cool I bought a second one just to have so I can charge it while flying one.
took a while to get the hang of it, but I discovered that once you have forwar dmotion they are easy to fly straight and around the room etc. hovering can be hard to stop them spinning though.
great craic. for 15euro. unreal. value at last. great posting again lads.
