Anyone can comment on is it really a good buy, or is the little price going along with missing abilities?

[Case]

I wouldnt say omg wtf its just your avrage electric RC indooor chopter It will be easier to fly than your tradional style RC chopter bec of the dual blades but i dont see it being a horible buy i think it would be just a neat toy to goof off with and possibly mod :)

[clvezlys]

Sounds good enough (since i've never had remote control anything that could actually fly). Thanjs for the reply.

[Case]

Im tempted to get one my self but do i need another goof off toy on my desk?

[clvezlys]

Could there ever be too much/enough?

[Case]

see that kind of thinking will just get me and you in trouble :)

[clvezlys]

I thought that kind of thinking is why we're currently here, spamming the CG forums

No it would be called Collest Gadgets Anonymous

i definetaly think investing in or creating your would be fun to mod etc.
eg helicopter with wireless cam and some form of grab method. I could fly it to my mates around the corner via the other screen a tad to my right to go get that new crazy hard core DVD thats just popped out of his burner..
okay, i am not the best story teller, but... where do the possibilities stop

I like the idea rapid00 (where's your introduction :)) I want to equip my Roomba with a webcam so that he can film as he cleans.

I bought myself an RC plane only last week and I dont think I will get an RC helicopter anytime soon.

I havent yet played with the plane but I will definitely make a video of it and upload it here.

here is the RC plane that I bought
