I almost got one for a birthday a few years ago and have always wanted one. My parents had no idea what to get me so thought a rc helicopter might be fun. ANyway, at teh last minute my brother veto'd it and said get him a plane. They weren't sure but he pushed it through and i ended up with a huge rc plane with a wing span of about 5 ft. Where the f**k am i gonna fly a plane with a wing span of 5ft? i asked him.
I could have flown a helicopter in my garden. So it's sat in my loft ever since untouched. Always wanted a helicopter tho...
