The helicopter is a small electric “indoor” model called the Humming Bird that my son bought from a trader at our annual club air show in June this year; I have to admit that helicopters don’t really interest me that much.

On the box it reads in large print:
1. Open the box
2. Charge the battery
3. Fly your Humming Bird

If only it were that simple!! It’s now more carbon fibre tows and super glue than original model.

My son can now fly it for about 20 seconds before he “loses it” and has to make a quick landing but I still can’t get it safely off the deck. These things are certainly for the young with quick reflexes, but I suspect that as with most things aeronautical small equates to more difficult to fly.
