It's an RTF, extremely light weight bird called the E sky Honey Bee 2 (www.esky-sz.com).
It comes with a PC interface for the radio and trainer software that you are strongly encouraged to master before starting up the real thing. I'll be plugging that sucker in soon. :-)

You BETTER master the sim first... My brother-in-law has nothing left of his but some scrap, But hey the sim still works :-)

It is very cool. The manual is very incomplete, and in poorly translated "chinglish". The "trainer" CD doesn't have an obvious installation process o root level "setup.exe", so I'll have to fumble my way through that one. My brother got himself one too, so we'll be able to help eachother out with tip and such.

Actually you tied. Dottie's gift from us is in transit.
j/k :-)
We do have xmas card with photos of the girls headed your way though.

I'll only tell you this one thing about helis, that I have learned from observation: When they go, they go *real* fast, and the destruction is widespread. First time I watched a heli eat itself I was amazed that such
a small machine could wreak such widespread, total destruction in only
0.35 nano-seconds!
Get the software installed and practice a LOT. :-) Heli crash-kits are
not cheap!

It might even be here, but I've avoided looking in the postbox for the
last week or so. :-) How are the babes these days? (All three of
them...)

They're great. Eliza's finally putting multiple word sentences together. She not dumb though mind you, she can work a DVD and TV remote better than many adults and plays video games better than her (male) cousins of the same age. She doesn't spend as much time in front of the tube as that sounds. She goes dance (ballet/tap) class twice a week and loves it. Emma has been crawling a around for a while now. She's eats and drinks (milk) a lot and is very vocal She's a big (little) girl too, if that makes sense.
And Elizabeth is Martha Stewart all over again. :-)

He's lying here sleeping and kicking his feet. Probably dreaming about chasing a mongoose of a swampie-crab or something equally unwise.

So far I've had no luck with the "training software". The documentation
is basically non-existent and I don't think the tranny-computer
interface is really working. The software was "designed for Windows
95", so it's a bit of out date and just may not work correctly on more recent OSes.

That's about the time I'll start collecting (and cleaning... regularly) hand guns. :-)

I might suggest using Virtual PC and installing a Win95 OS on your
system to install the said traning software on. Just a thought... I
have an old program my father used to make family calendars each year,
since he passed, it was my place to create them this year. I looked everywhere for a program that could replace the ancient thing, but have found none... since it won't work with XP, I installed a Win98 and Win95
OS to operate this program. Works like a champ.

I did this myself with my oldest. She got very irate at me for it. It helped my nerves, but from what I've found out a few years later, it
didn't stop anything from actually occuring... Maybe invest in a steel chasity belt. Thats about the only way. :)
