So this is total fun.
One of my friends has a Syma S107 Micro RC helicopter and when I heard these are about $30-$40 I decided to snag a Z008, which is similar but adds these side fan things so I can slide side to side:
It’s a bunch of fun to fly inside, and very beginner friendly. I hear they’re setting up a course at a local hackerspace so people can do races, etc. I was getting off easy the first week but today I broke a tail rotor and a main blade, luckily it came with spare parts and they’re pretty hackable.
Anyway I had no idea RC helicopters had gotten so easy to fly and cheap, it only took a little while to get going, though I’m going to need more room, heh.
plug in, crank it to eleven
