the absolute last thing i want the aircraft to do, is crash. I'm looking
for
a good pilot for its first few flights! I have spent most of the last 30
years involved in all kinds of mechanical electrical, and electronic
engineering, restoring and building custom bikes and cars, but an injury
has
forced me to give up working, and i am left with 24/7 to find things to
do. I
am after a walkera 3d helicopter for myself, and have started with the
flight
sims to gain experiance, but you cannot replace real hands on experiance,
and hard earned knowledge. The models i have seen recently are amazing
pieces
of micro engineering, and i have found a new hobby. One way or another, i
will finish this s****t 500, even if it means i have to make a giant
counterbalanced see saw (Teeter totter) to start flight trials. As for
your
car analogy, no i wouldnt take it on the M4, cos it wasnt built for it,
I'd
take it out on the country lanes, and to rally's, just as i would take the
helicopter to an open area, rather than trying to fly it in my living room
