Remote control helicopters are really fun. Me and a friend went shopping yesterday and picked up Picoo-Z Tandems which are chinook-style dual-rotor helos rather than 'single' rotor. I'm surprised at how easy it is to control, although getting over inhibitions of 'careful on the throttle' caused me some problems because for taking off you basically have to floor it for a second and then release it a little at a time until you get to your desired height. I found holding it in my right hand at the height I wanted it, holding it until I got the throttle right, and then releasing it, worked quite well.

Getting trim right is also a little tricky (especially as mine was spiralling slightly and would only turn one way as the front rotor got a little knocked and I had to click it back into place - which I didn't notice for quite a while). You have to keep adjusting it until you get it right which takes a few minutes.

Also it has a 'searchlight' which is a pretty bright blue LED and flashing lights on the side which are pretty cool.

Also I hear that there's some minor religous festival being celebrated tomorrow.

The font on your blog is kind of hard to read with that colour, at least for me, Hazman.

I'll brighten up the light green and darken down the dark green a little.
