No, it's not destroying childern's toys on purpose. Although, judging by the image of my blown apart toy you’d think I have no idea what I’m doing behind the controls of an RC helicopter.


Unfortunately for me, for the most part you’d be right. My brother bought it for me for Christmas. Apparently, there is a little bit of a learning curve involved when it comes to flying them. I’ve actually found them to be much easier to fly than the RC airplane that I’ve probably had in the air a total of two or three minutes over the past year and a half. The plane spent most of its time nose down in the dirt. Anyway, the helicopter is way more fun to fly, I can even fly it indoors. Once I get good enough I’ll be able to chase cats! Sure, I’ve crashed it a couple times but overall it’s a pretty durable ready-to-fly out of the box toy. I’m waiting for spare parts to repair my copter after a pretty hard crash. Someday maybe I’ll fly a much bigger RC copter. Hopefully I won’t crash it into myself. The one I have now only leaves minor cuts. One of the bigger ones could kill somebody. Good news is nobody is willing to fly RC helicopters with me.
