A flying machine

A friend of mine  once promised to buy me a helicopter with a pilot when she won the lottery. Well, she has yet to win. Happily, I am now the proud owner of my own private flying machine. Admittedly the pilot still has a lot to learn. I am very good at going up (ascending is the technical term) and coming down (descending) . Directional control has yet to be established. Thankfully, it bounces very well.
