Christmas Bug found in living room...

[acropolite (Phil)]

Bet you were expecting a Christmas beetle...

Kris Kringle left this under the tree, I already have a couple of other bigger ones, but the smaller ones are so much fun, now if can just find a cat to terrorise...

Cool Phil, I have always wanted to play with one of them, the bigger ones that is, but I'm sure i would probably crash it, LOL.

Great fun aren't they. I now have a few and have even bought a big one for outside.
Crashed miserably on my first outing. Waiting for parts.
I have just bought a simulator to learn how to fly. The 450 size 6 channel single rotor heli is very hard. even 4 channel is very hard and ends up with big crashes. Even the 4 channel twin rotor heli's are hard enough.

My wife bought me a large fix pitch 3 channel single rotor and it is fun but still hard outside when the speed gets up a bit.

I have got to keep away from ebay and model shops and jaycar and well the list goes on.

Have fun.

No.....I was expecting a photo of you squashed like a bug when HRH found out you bought a 5D MkII.

Too terrible to contemplate, wouldn't be a pretty sight......
I wonder if there's a man shelter somewhere close, somewhere for poor tormented souls like myself (and h0ughy) to seek spousal asylum.

Didn't you buy one ages ago? She still doesn't know? lol.

To the doghouse with you!

She knows. She's just keeping quiet because she bought something even more expensive that she's hiding

It will all come out when she's had her expensive thing long enough to say "Oh, this?? I've had this for AGES!"

Feb 2009 to be exact, never to be disclosed, it's just a black camera... I do however take lots of grandkiddy photos and ask for pennance (despite the fact that I'm not religious...stone him...) every time the indiscrete item is removed from it's bag.

funny you say that, sounds vaguely familiar.

Last time I was at JayCar I was drooling over all those choppers. I want one.

[acropolite (Phil)]

They're not expensive Marc, check to see if spare parts are available before buying. A lot of the small ones are made by Syma, parts are readily available on eBay.

[Octane (Humayun)]

Marc,

I dare you not to visit www.hobbyking.com

lol.

Ah, Phil. Nice, mine's a January 2009 vintage.

Surprised you've kept under wraps for so long. Nice job!
