    That looks like fun. Only problem is - my credit card is still recovering from the last purchase of helicopters. Hopefully it will be out of intensive care in time for Christmas.

    I strapped a keychain video camera to a chinook (mid sized, 1 foot long) and that works. Micro heli's didn't have the lift, though I might try hacking the camera and maybe share the battery with the heli. Might be able to save 10g by losing the case as well.

    The chinook has 4 blades and that helps cut down vibration. One crash and the vibration does get worse, so heli's with video worked best for me when they were fresh out of the box. Which is a criteria that can get a little expensive with my flying skills!

    I hope Santa brings me one of these new video helicopters!

    Absoulutely cool. I hope they hit Taiwan for Chinese New Years. $65 might buy you a latte and lunch these days.
