Skylark... A indoor filying helicopter.

[Jamie]

I was watching a program yesterday called Model Mania and the topic was helicopters they were putting together a Skylark indoor flying helicopter it is a small electric one and there is a link here to some info...

For 250.00 this thing isnt cheap but I'm thinking of buying one...
You can actually fly them outside but you need a low wind speed.
I aint gonna buy one yet but I'm thinking.
I want your verdict.

I have seen then and they cost $400-$600 here fo various models. I'd ge one if I had the money but I don't. Maybe someday later in life, but not today...

Um, that's in euros or some poop. It's gonna be a tad more expensive than that. Also, helicopters are hard to fly.

I really like the indoor flyers! They are very sensitive because they are so light, but, if you only fly them inside you will have a lot of fun with them. A gymnasium is perfect if you can get in one!

If you do not have experience with Heli's at all, I suggest logging in some serious hours on a simulator first. RealFlight G2 has been a GREAT learning tool for me. I have hoverring, takeoff and landing down to a science now. I can even get inverted flight with some of the models!

Not spending any time flying them either with a trainer or on a simulator just results in lots of money spent on busted parts!

Eh it was something like that. If that's ready to fly or a kit but everything is there then it's a really good deal. If you have to buy anything else then it's not a very good deal.

I know the Piccolo helicopter is really expensive because you have to buy the gyro and this little computer thing and shtuff. So I dunno about that.

If you do get the helicopter, I highly recommend getting the G2 flight simulator or at least taking a few hours on one because you will crash pretty fast.

This comes with everything. I think its a kit and i damn well hope it is, they use the same batterys as mobile phones (cellphones) because they are so light. The one i saw on the model program had two seperate motors one little for the back rotor and a big one for the main rotor, they say they are easier to fly with he seperate motors but ill hage to wait and see I hope i can get one... BTW i have a digital cam now so when i get my Storm theres gonna be some pictures to see.
