Well 2 ch RC ones do anyway.
Found this in the charity shop for the price of a couple of decent beers. Boxed and I'm guessing un-flown.
Sure it goes up and quite naturally down, left and right too, but without that 3rd channel (no forward/backward control) is soon out of TX range and the inevitable heavy landing (= 1 broken skid). Should have gone with my first intent and put it on e-bay, but at least I didn't pay the £39.99 rrp for it.
Will probably just bolt it on top of my rig for extra cooling this summer .
So any other novel suggestions?

If it steered well enough that would be an option. Maybe I'll wait till November and strap a rocket underneath.:FI:Armitage wrote:put some petrol on it fly over a flame and boom

Re: Helicopters suck !
HI,
Are you sure it is the 2ch?
What spare do you require? maybe i have some? what is the model number?
the skids are common problem even for 4ch/6ch (in most cases the very end of the user interface problem); a piece of foam is good replacement - it makes it float too - call it tuning and the piece of black foam glued to the bottom becomes something like hmmm unique improvement.
