Whenever I've seen these little helicopters in shopping centres, being flown past my head maneuvering for a sale, I've held back. While at my desk a couple of weeks ago I succumbed and ordered this unit on eBay. It is controlled by my iPhone, however the word control is over estimating its capabilities or my skill. My garage became my flying field and I proceeded to acclimatise to the aircraft when the first blade shattered. After fitting the replacement blade, I did some further low level flying along the floor until the battery ran dry - it had survived its first outing. I don't envisage this device lasting long :-)
With a big year ahead of us I thought a Project 366 would be the perfect way to look back at the way it was.

Day 124 - Low flying
