Stress Buster!

Guess who got a new toy!!! Paul has wanted to get into electric RC helicopter flying for sometime now and finally took the plunge a couple of months ago. He started out with a little one and then moved up to a mid size electric helicopter a couple of weeks ago. He is spending a lot of time out in the garage working on them and having lots of fun.

Here is the larger one the day he got it. Does he look like a happy camper or what?!!? He took it out to the garage and started it up and it was loud and scary! He called me out to see it and I wanted to get on the other side of the screen door! He can't fly the large one in the garage but he plays with the small one inside when it is too windy outside.

Here he has the small one outside in the backyard. He is getting pretty good with this one.

When he first got it it spent a lot of time like this... upside down or broken!! He hasn't ordered parts for almost two weeks now so things are getting better.

He took the large one out into the backyard today for the first time. He has been taking it over to a park in Newbury Park in the mornings. He needs the extra space because of the size. The backyard really isn't big enough to fly it much. Good thing he likes to get up early as he gets over there before the park gets to many people in it and before the wind starts up. He can't fly in any wind as it just knocks the helicopter around too much.

He is having so much fun with them it is fun just to watch him. What I like best about it is the fact it is a great stress reducer!!! He no longer comes home from work but keeps his mind at work. Now he comes home and out into the garage and when he is done he comes in with a smile on his face. How great!!!!! I guess I could now call myself a RC Helicopter widow!!
