Stumbled across my old "boy's toy" in the garage yesterday. Looks like it needs a new battery pack though.

Tricky things to fly these! This is a beginners one and uses 4-channels of radio control - that means you operate two joysticks in both X and Y axes simultaneously. I'm afraid I only have just enough brain power/coordination using these 4 controls to make it hover. Ask me to make it fly a circuit and it would be in a thousand pieces scattered over the garden.

Regarding yesterday's comment - Spring? What Spring?
