I must be missing something because…..

strip off and watch him crash the thing.

Strip and watch him crash it..

*wipes drool from corner of mouth*

Wrightyson Lego men? How old are you? LOL

I actually honestly don’t think he’d notice sharki, one of his landing lights has just gone. All he’ll has just broken loose. I’m going to bed.

I got my brother Lego men for his birthday – he’s 37.

(to be fair, they were special ones)

Rachel

Don’t worry, as soon as you’re married you can turn into a ball breaking witch from hell.

I borrowed him from one of my children. He was a willing sort which is good because he was severely lacerated by the rotors in a few of the early rescue attempts!! 😆

Emma – just don’t let him find out there is one you can control from an iPhone and it has a remote camera on it…

Rachel

My chopper would of noticed.

And it’s got no landing lights at all.

DezB – Use your imagination?

What? About Daniel Craig? and I thought we understood each other

that’s a PicooZ. It IS a toy.

these, however, are most definitely NOT toys:

the littlest one is about the size of a PicooZ, but controllable.

the big black blob next to the biggest one is a 22x18in bass drum in its bag, for comparison

the yellow & red one is about 20in rotor diameter

Maybe just sleep on it then Dez?

Yeahm night night

They are all TOYS!!! For children, honestly men, MTFU!!!!

Sharki does your chopper handle well though that’s the question 😉

And thanks for that Rachel-he’s just read the thread and now wants to google the iPhone thing 🙁

Rachel I don’t get it, they look like Lego men why are they so expensive?

John drummer: big toys 😆

Yes but iphone ‘copter runs off wi-Fi and if it goes out of range it just hovers there, shame it doesn’t crash and burn in a massive pile. Emsz isn’t there still time to cancer the wedding?? 😉

Mountain bikes are toys too. But that’s OK.

The last time I pulled a similar face was the scene where Daniel Craig gets outbid the sea in his blue pants in James bond. I nearly fainted.

emsz – Member
Last time nearly fainted was watching Megan Fox in Transformers…

*zones out for a minute*

Oh dear – it’s all getting a bit FHM in here. Shame that a thread an such on innocent hobby should degenerate into adolescent sexist slobbering.

I’m pretty certain my brabantia ironing board gives me more enjoyment than those toys.

cancer the wedding

Harsh!

Give the wedding cancer? That’s not nice 😯

**** you Yeti!

Apparently it does.

mmm mmmm mmmm MMMODDS, MMMOODDDDZ D..D, DDddddee Darcy swore at mmmm, mmeeee

“****” iz aloud.

Sorry druidh 🙁 I shall stop being a perv 🙂

M_C I’m getting married not emsz!!! I shall persevere though, I will not be beaten by something that if ultimately it really pee’s me’ off, I shall just swat like a fly with a magazine. He’ll soon see who’s boss then 😉

Glad to hear that sharki 😉

Munqe it’s Emma that’s getting married, not me.

Mods, it’s ok. I don’t want to press charges. Just put him on the ‘watched’ list, or sumin.

I could point you to a website which caters for toys for women……or is that women empowering themselves? 🙄

Just put him on the ‘watched’ list, or sumin.

Already am. Three naughty steps so far. Whooda thunk it eh?!

Oooh, you’re two steps higher than me.
At least I’m climbing the right ladder… 😀

You do know this doesn’t count, right??

Rachel

Ah, but my three all added up to a quarter of your one 😛

Rachel that’s a really crap one! It’d never put a good crease in my trousers!

Only 4? Poor deprived man – I have 6 (plus 4 planes and a flapping wing bat thing). Most of which are rather more like the ones in john d’s pics (though I only have little ones you can fly in the house if you want – biggest is a 4#6 for those in the know). Far, far more fun to fly them fast outside though if you have helis capable of that.

If you want an explanation of why they’re so absorbing, how about you first giving a completely reasoned explanation about why mountain biking is fun – at the end of the day they’re all toys.

FOUND IT!!!!

Because of this thread I made a concerted effort to hunt it down. My mum had hidden it in a kitchen cupboard (behind some cleaning products 😳 ). It’s on charge now. I’m SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!

Anyone who is interested in tiny helicopters (and quite frankly who wouldn’t be??), and lives in That London; go and see my mate Wayne in Modelzone in Holborn. He’ll help you out. Walked in there the other day; he’s ‘demonstrating’ one for a customer. 😀 They sell loads of them, tiny ones and proper full on nitro ones. Emma would despair if her boyf discovered that place….

I actually need this:

the big one has had one hover since I got the engine running. I don’t have time for it, unfortunately.

the red & yellow one is an indoor-in-a-sports-hall thing & I can only yet hover it tail in, haven’t managed side on or nose-in yet.

the tiny yellow one is a doddle to fly, flies itself really. Need a non-coax one about the same size; Blade MS-X (?) would be ideal.

I have a medevac Bell 47 as well, but that’s just as (i.e. too easy) easy to fly as the little yellow one.

emsz – nay, this is a big toy:

the tiny yellow one is a doddle to fly, flies itself really. Need a non-coax one about the same size; Blade MS-X (?) would be ideal.

What is the little yellow one? It’s an MSR you’re thinking of, though a Nine-Eagles Solo Pro is very similar and a lot cheaper. My smallest 4ch is a Silverlit one – still a toy, but a very good fully controllable toy. Then have a 5g6 co-ax, 4#3Q and 4#6 FPs. The 4#6 is a lovely little heli with a 3-axis gyro, so stable enough that I can hover it nose in in the living room, but just a tad big to do much else with in that space – the V100D01 being advertised up there flies similar but is smaller, and a definite step up on an MSR/Solo Pro if you already fly bigger things.

See what you’ve started Emma – hopefully your other half is still reading this and getting tips (I got my first 2 helis as presents – clearly there wasn’t too much evidence of the addiction after the first).

Little yellow is a Blade MC-X IIRC. Coax 4ch job.

Full fleet is:
1x PicooZ
1x Blade mcx
1x Twister Bell 47 medevac
1x Twister 400 3D
1x Century Hawk .30
