I thought it would have been a lot more expensive because lets face it, that's one AWESOME time waster.

Though you have to factor in the cost of a ipod touch/iphone if you dont already have one as a means of control so thats another 200us there one time.

well I guess so I see they mentioned Iphone and plans for Android.

But picture this, you out in the Savannah ready for some chopper fun. You really feeling like lugging a laptop around? After about 15 minutes that laptop is going to feel like like a grocery bag with 2 Bescrete foundation blocks.

Nah boy, still very awkward to walk around with imo.

Just surfing around I came up on some of the many alternatives to the AR Drone.

http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/blade-msr.html

More conventional looking (and controlled) and just as fun to fly.

yes, helicopters fascinate me. Definitely getting one of these asap.

Well red, the Blade MSR is a more advanced unit, requiring more skill to fly. The s107 on the other hand has the built in gyro and additional rotor which stabilizes it and makes it much easier to fly.

Is that a pro, is that a con, I dont know. What I do know is that they are both roughly the same size and the ready to fly MSR costs $100us more.

Maybe after I get accustomed to these I will graduate to the msr or whatever comes out thats better.

yea, the tiny ones are the best bet. don't want 100us to literally crash into pieces one me lol

I does watch the fellas with the Nitro copters over here but I aint have that kinda money to spend on dat death trap. They say you have to spend hours on a flight sim before even thinking about trying it for real so I will stick with the small less expensive types.

For real @ simulator. They even have simulators for the MSR.

This could be the beginning of a new hobby. Only time will tell how far im willing to take it cuz u KNOW I eh have problems stepping up the game big time.
