I've got a black one similar, with lights on it. Think it's sold by red something or other... It's better than the Volitation..

This is the video of that first flight.

Cool video Graham put a smile on my face. I started out in Oct 2011 with a small heli. Seemed like I got in trouble a lot for crashing into plants, haha.

Awesome videos, Graham and Lee...Wow, what a fast progression into RC Helicopters for you guys!
It will be a year for me this month on the 17th and it's still hard for me to believe! I quit smoking on the same day and I figured "What the hell, I'm not spending money on cigarettes anymore, why not spend it on helicopters!" It's been "full speed ahead!" ever since and I found something else I really love! :D
And I just noticed something while reading your posts...most of you joined on or around my birthday, November 7th...what an awesome coincidence, or a sign that I really belong here? I like to think so...I've never been a member of a "real" online community group before! This one and you guys ROCK! :D Must be my English/Scottish lineage that makes me like you guys so much...or not! :lol: Yeah, I like you other blokes too!

Happy New Year to you all!

Lol... Awesome.. Yeah I love this group of fellas myself.. I do visit other for us for info and stuff.. But these guys are great... And while I do hope the site grows, I think there is something to be said about a smaller group like this that allows one to keep a family type vibe that I believe we have all(rc-hangout members)come to enjoy beyond the hobby we love. I do wish we were closer in a geographic way so that we could get together once in a while for a fly-in or something... Jealous of Lee & Tony... I was excited for them to get hang out together... Props to all RC-Hangout members for making this the home base!
