I've got my first Helicopter!!!
Ok… so, I got my first helicopter today… no, not a real one… a really really tiny one. I’m not kidding! We went to Costco this morning, and then went to R/C Country Hobbies afterwards. Daddy got a few things he needed for his electric planes… some props, some glue, and oh yeah.. more props… *teehee*… I saw the Super X Copters on the shelf as we went to walk out… 
We were in there a few weeks ago looking for these things, and they didn’t have them.. We wanted something small that we could play with in the house on a rainy day… Well.. I found them! They were only $35 and promise to be super resilient… Like I need resilient… I’ll never crash one… just maybe.. run it into the window blinds a few times, fly it into the ceiling, and under the coffee table… no big deal, right??? hahaha.. yeah.. ummmm..
Had it home, charged it and flew it a couple of times… then it didn’t work anymore… my fault.. I totally jammed the rotor in… Drove alllll the way back to R/C Country Hobbies… one of the guys there took a look at it and made a couple of adjustments, and that was it! It was back in the air!!! WOOT!!! I stopped at the grocery store on the way home to grab a new propane tank for our BBQ grill… Daddy had invited MIL over and was going to make BBQ chicken for dinner… and our tank was not working… no idea what happened there… Anyway… I exchanged it out, and grabbed a few groceries while I was there, and came home! Put my heli on charge, and it was ON!!!
Yes, I let the girls fly it for a little bit (with complete supervision and help), and I even let Daddy fly it for a bit… I think the best one though, is when I flew it off the top of his head… LOL.. I’ve gotten better at it over the last few hours… I’ve even been able to start steering this thing around. I PROMISE I’ll try to get some video of me flying it… That is… once I become a flying ace LOL.. Just kidding… what good would a flying video be without a couple of crashes???

When I first saw the title of this post I thought it was the kids that wrote it!
My hubby would love a little R/C helicopter, but it definitely wouldn’t survive Master4. He’s kinda known for being a bit heavy-handed…
Fabulous! We got DH’s nephew one for Christmas and I didn’t think the adults were going to let him leave our house with it. They’re such a blast to play with.
Have fun!

Three of my boys got those for Christmas. They had great fun. “Had” being the operative word there. lol Boys are so rough. They flew for a bit without a wing (I believe I saw a toothpick in it’s place), but once the rear tail fell off, it just did pathetic donuts on the floor. So sad.
