Re: Now I won't have any more free time.... I just bought one at Radio Shack. Let me say that I've wasted about 2 hours of my time playing with this thing. It's sooooo much fun!!! I found out the if you use a thumbtack on the very front of the helicopter you can get the thing to fly pretty fast (not only vertically). I've been having fun chasing around the cats! One of the cats (Louis) is scared as hell from it....but the other cat Charlie keeps coming up to it curious to see what it is.
Also... AngelFuree's helicopter was not generating enough lift because the gears/motor seemed to be pretty stiff. We lubed up the gears with bike grease spray and it fixed the problem. On my helicopter, the tail rotor wouldn't turn. It just took a tiny squirt of the grease to get it going. Amazing... highly maneuverable for such a tiny r/c helicopter.
