hi there
I was wondering if there were any R/C helis that were smaller than about 250mm with "full controls".
I saw this 1: http://www.apexmodels.com/product-se...ories&id=13968 but didnt think it had four channel.
Does anyone know of any others??

There cool little helli's the transmitter IMO seems pretty pro looking not really ceap plastic metal controls etc. and comes with spare blades the only problem i have found is the skids bend slightly if you have a heavy landing but there only piano wire so they just bend back if you want.

Well I played with my lil ooplechopper tonight for the first time and didn't manage to break him yet - yay! I'll get some photos up soon when I've repainted and stickered him up, but he's quite cool but hard as heck to fly. I think I managed about 5 seconds hovering on my third charge.

If you just want a cheap one to muck about with, they have finally got the little £20 or so ones, with 3Ch available, i got one from ebay in a week £15 delivered, contra rotating blades, and a 3rd channel for forward backward via a rear upright rotor, only infrared, but mint round the kitchen.

ooplechopper is in a poorly state, nothing broken (amazingly) but I took him into the warehouse at work and so I had even more room to lose control and slam him into the concrete floor. I'm convinced it's impossible to fly a helicopter!

I think we should all get our helicopters meet at a indoor meeting and see if we tie them all togerther and see if we can lift something or someone.

Before whacking it I strongly suggest you use a simulator first... it really helps

I got a cable for mi transmitter but it didnt work so I just thought I'd carry on trying.. smacking it off the concrete floor wasn't so good tho.
