OT: Mythbusters episode 57

[dreslism]

As I was doing some wrenching tonight, I had on discovery channel and mythbusters came on. Episode 57 had the following myth.

It was funny to watch them try and fly an RC heli, and debunk the myth. Funny to watch the slow mo destruction of their heli.

It made me sick to watch 'em destroy that heli. I'd have like to get the wreckage sent to me when they were done.

I thought it was funny watching them try to fly that micro. They were so sure anyone could do it in short order. Can you imagine how dangerous had they gone right for the 500 kit :shock: "R/C expert Grant" will be flying by the next day...yeah, right :roll:

The most annoying thing anyone said to me early on when I made a rather clumsy attempt of showing my workmates how my micro flew, was one guy who said, "here let me do it". He honestly believed that anyone could do it if they were clever enough.....

It's amazing how some find it exciting to destroy a heli, I personally would rather watch someone with a chainsaw massacuring everyone than see that again...love the mythbusters show though. I bet Century got a few sales from the show!
