Thought I’d do this here to preserve the integrity of the other thread.

Jumped over to Amazon:

opinions on that one? Cheap, but seems to have a Very Good Rating.

He has mentioned a Chinook before, so here is one of those:

so there you go, let us talk toys!

For a 7 YO, those are probably a good beginner RC chopper…

And the price has come down since I bought my two!

bought the Chinook…it is MUch bigger than I had expected…which will prevent an inside flight, and you can actually see it while airborne. I’ll report back in about a week! Merry Christmas! cale http://www.amazon.com/S022-Chinook-Channel-Control-Helicopter/dp/B002IZMIL4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Ya might wanna ask Bart for a cheap spare parts supplier…:wink:

We bought a chopper for our youngest son(37) at the mall from a kiosk. Flexible blade attachment, so they won’t break so easily and a gyro. Guy made it look easy, son said he flew it with no problems all over the house. Just two control sticks, charge the chopper on the computer with a USB hookup.

#8

Ya know what sucks, my wife Kathy has the coordination to fly these and I don’t.

We ended up not getting our own after flying Greg’s as with our cats it would probably have a service life of about eleven seconds.

One of the nephews in in Army doing maintenance on Chinooks.
Which begs the question, HOW did he get old enough to do that?

#9

Test flight in wet snow and heavy winds…pretty good purchase I believe…it works really well…now to figure out how to fly it. My mom gifted him a little RC chopper, figure it can work him into the S-Hook…oh the joys of Parenting :slight_smile:

did I mention the boys also got 2-1/24 scale Leopard II airsoft RC tanks…
