Hello all!
I'm a brand-spankin'-new entrant into the wonderful world of remote-controlled helicopters. Tonight I bought an AirHogs Havoc Heli. It's one of these super-small-scale (6 inch long) styrofoam helicopters, cost like $25.
The reason I'm posting is to see if anyone else has one of these, what their experiences have been, how long it took them to learn how to fly it, etc.
I come to this with absolutely no real-life flight experience, and strictly prop and jet flight sim experience. I know something about the mechanics of helicopter flight (controlling torque helps to keep the aircraft body from spinning, for instance) though I would never hold myself out to be an expert.
This is definitely a very cool "sport" to do, and at a $25 buy-in, it's not that bad on the wallet, either.
