I wish those rules were included in the vehicles instruction books.

Ahhhh but with a helicopter it comes down slower then a plane does.
I've had to replace a set of skies once but the chopper wasn't destroyed and the crash was my fault so no big deal I learned from it. Never take a remote control helicopter 4 stories or so up and start to lose it over a building and throttle off all the way and then think the chopper will be able to catch itself from a 2 story free fall before it smacks the ground.
Lessons learned...
#1 Never take the chopper up that high.
#2 Never fly the chopper with ANY wind.

Things falling from sky................................
...I think it's all relative when it comes to fighting a thing called gravity

Hi All
Why not try a DUKW then you can have both trucking and also boating. I build my 1/10 scale DUKW back in 2001 and at 42" long and 11" wide she's big enough to enjoy and still light enough to launch and handle on your own. Although having a launch / rescue assistant along is most definetly a bonus
