You guys are not being very creative with your flying toys. Kinda shameful really. You would think a bunch of guys, with a few gals, on a tractor website would be have better toy ideas..... :laughing:

How about this:

Cats away! Artist turns his dead pet into flying helicopter after it is killed by a car | Mail Online

There is a video as well but the still was enough for me.

Maybe if a certain TBNer in VA ever gets his chicken kill'n fox he can turn said fox into the FoxACopter. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

By the time he gets the fox ... their will be MOSS growing in the fox den.

You caught the bug that makes you want a CatACopter?

Oh yes ... I'm sitting here waiting for UPS ... My new one is out for delivery ... the driver knows it (I told him yesterday) I'm sure he's taking his time!!!!

I even had my lunch in the shop and flew my little one around during lunch!!!

texasjohn · Jun 6, 2012

the driver is likely having his fun with your shipment....it'll be delivered when he's thru with it!!!

I remember using the rockets that you would pump full of water pressure, and they would go really high, with a trail of water inn the sky behind them. I want to try and find a new one, so I can show my daughter what we use to play with.

Tracking shows it delivered ... not here ... probably dropped it off at my neighbor. He does that when the automatic gate is closed ... he don't like to step out and enter the code.

So, I quess now waiting for the neighbor to get up ... he doesn't believe in getting going befor 8 a.m. and then it usually takes him till 9 to be ready for anything.

Wow. That brings back memories. I had one as well. Red rocket with somewhat see through plastic. Seems like it had a white plastic tail and/or a white "nose cone."

So far I've only got the Syma S107G ... little guy but tough ... its crashed several times and is taking a licking ... The one I'm getting today is the 21" and I'll let you know what I think of it.

I used a fathers day code ... this one was right at $42 delivered ... flew it yesterday and its awesome ... wind will affect it. Did get a spare tail rotor and a cute little screwdriver. It flies about 15 minutes.

Yesterday the birds would dive at it ... I kept thinking this could get ugly.

Good thing it needs charging after about 15 minutes or I wouldn't get any work done!!

jinman · Jun 8, 2012

Wow! That's a substantial little beast. Does it fly same/better than the smaller one? Sure is purdy. . .

Looks like a good way to keep your LEFT HAND out of the tractor grease :laughing:

You might wanna reset your camera date and time if you use the image date as a search or filing reference in your database.
