It was high tech all the way when Joe set up the heli last Sunday. Jon's laptop wirelessly downloading the instructions for setting up the 'beast' 3-axis gyro as joe tweaked things.

It was a great and rewarding day for me. ;D Special thanks to Joe for all of his help with this project. I could not have done it without, also it was nice to have a few flights at the feild today, and to get all the tables and such cleaned up. Thanks to dad for the pictures and video, really nice to see... as always! Never thought that helis would be so much fun!

I love flying this little guy around the basement. Not near the carnage factor, but fun all the same.
