Helicopters

Helicopter Launch Pad

Our living room has been buzzing lately.

The small red helicopter given to Pete for Christmas has been buzzing me daily. It is great for indoor use.  

The middle red helicopter is a birthday gift for my brother. It can be used indoors or outdoors. Originally we had purchased two of these, one for him and one for Pete. Unfortunately they were both defective so they were returned. We ordered a new one and had it delivered to us so Pete could test it out.  It arrived in good shape and is now in North Carolina with my brother.

While we were waiting for the replacement to arrive, the large yellow helicopter magically appeared.   Apparently it was in our basement for the past few years waiting until Pete had time to work on some modifications. This one is for outdoor use and he did get it to fly for about 5 seconds before it crashed.  More modifications...

I've not attempted to fly any of them, as I prefer to be the co-pilot; meaning that when they crash I run and pick them back up.
