I think I found mine!



It's not much bigger than my mSR. Actually I think it's the smallest collective-pitch heli I've seen.

Similar sized heli but fixed pitch instead of collective pitch.

I have 2.

I just keep breaking parts everytime I attempt to fly one.

The last one is simple, only has up down and rudder. No way to keep it in your area, it goes with the wind. I thought it might help me get comfortable with the controls. I'm much better with throttle control now, but still need serious training.

I got a Blade CX2 with the 4 orange ping pong balls on the skids, the dude controlling that thing is well beyond that.

Have you seen an indoor R/C Airplane competition? Equally impressive, almost like a helicopter, full VTOL capabitity.

I have one of those with a broken tail sitting on my extra desk in my office. I used to fly it as a stress reliever, but haven't flown it in 3 years now.
