Today might be a great and wonderful day. It depends on you.

Nope, doesn't look like the Raiden-Tech model in the pictures (see the landing skids).  Similar, but not the same.

Sure. I have seen a few different models of 3chs from various brands, and played with some of them also.  I was wondering what exactly this was.

Always made me wonder why they do not make them able to fly backwards also ;)  Pretty much everything needed to make that happen is already there, still the elevator control is only used for forward flight.

Never expected my age to become the point of discussion on this thread  :o

The model is not good at handling wind, it is an indoor flier.

The tail does not have a gyro, it has to be flown. In fact learning that is the trickiest thing in flying this model. One thing I noticed is that it is easier to control the tail if the heli keeps moving forward. Once tail is in control, it has excellent stability that makes it easy for anybody to fly it.

I don't know how the raiden tech model compares, but I was really impressed by the indestructibility of this model. I have crashed many times hitting the wall and other hard objects, I could just pick it up and fly again. I'm not sure other models would come close in this aspect.

It is a 3 channel and it has the ability to fly backwards too. There is a small section in the video where it is flying backwards towards me. Controlling the tail is tougher in backwards flight.

Should we include a feature where everyone who also puts in their "year of birth" when they register, and it gets displayed on the left side when they post anything  (like how their "City" is shown now) ? :P    Of course I will be tempted to lie, and take off at least some years off of my own age >:D   Just kidding !

I'd have said no, but now that you have exposed me, I don't care 8-)

Seriously, I think it should not be required for registration. Birth date is one of the verification security questions used in many banking and credit card communications. People might know others birthdays and they can put it together with the year from here. Many people will not be comfortable putting this info in public domain.

The "Just kidding" was supposed to convey that this is not at all something we are planning to do.  BTW, year of birth is a lesser security concern than the day and month.  Taking a meaningful guess at the year requires only a few tries.

Or perhaps birthday can be with respect to how far along you are into RC modeling  ;D - infant, toddler, youth, tongue-wag(talker more than modeller), preceptor (helps folks learn), ascetic (builds and flys by themselves alone),  ;D

Would make sense to add a plain "aeromodeller" in there somewhere   ;D  Around the middle if you ask me, at the right end per Ismail  >:D  Now Ismail is going to get mad for putting words into his mouth !

Well, I am not concerned if anyone calls himself as "super modeller" or any other fancy names he likes... Neither it matters to me nor it affects me in anyway. I am happy as long as he is happy and does not "dictate" me/others how to do their stuff... (But I always welcome postive suggestions and constructive criticisms)

"Anything can fly" - SPADs just prove that!

Wow.. he is also smoking something strong.. like me ;D  Getting philosophical and everything on simple things !
