Hey Mjdee.That brought back memories.Ernie Huber flew the R/C jet ranger in the the
"Blockbuster" movie "The towering Inferno".I remember he said the director made him fly around the building with with a large "no see"time:shock:.He said he just stayed "on course" on the backside and the bird came out ok!.I think he was flying a Kavan Jet ranger??
Thanks for the flashback

Hey Guys, been outta da loop for a couple of days (entertaining my friends from the UK). A HUGE thanks for all your best wishes, keeping this the best forum for fun, humour and sound information.
I too look forward to my daily doses of HF (even at my age)
Skydude, I am in charge of security not Ben. We are still trying to work out what Ben does around here but he always 'looks' busy, as you can see by his input to HF he obviously has some time on his hands!!
Keep it coming and keep 'bashing Ben!

Thanks again, Ukgroucho and others, recently tried for an altitude record on the main forum (highest Mount in South East Asia) where I flew my little PiccoZ at 4095m, sadly, seems like someone else beat that so I thought I would try the other end of the scale. Check this out, now THIS has to be a record!!!

I'm getting the feeling someone has a good copy of "Photo Shop"....
do remember that the little heli is made out od styrofoam...and flaots like a "Bugger"...
But heh....it makes for a good picture....
i've also seen pics of hillary and Obama in bed together...!! :smokin:
if it's on the "Web" it MUST be true !!

I can see this becoming a 'Where's Waldo? (JB)'
Ok JB. How about the girls locker room. Oh, wait a minute. We could get away with that as kids. Society throws us in jail and the key away at our age.
I know. Send Wazzer.
(just kidding ben)

Oh Thee of little faith!!! No Adobe shop used!! Promise, cross my heart and hope to fly (err die) ha ha
Now I don't expect anyone 'really' thought it was flying but...........and this will get me thrown out of the magic cirlce.........fishing line, lead weight......come on guys...you knew that right???
Pictures below dispel the Adobe theory!
Picture 1 shows me tying the weight on
Picture 2 (look closely) you can see the line!

Tidak lah, pura pura saja, tiada batteri dan curren, ada tali kurus ikat di lantai di laut.
Tidak boleh terbang dalam air.

It means ' No I was only joking and the heli is tied with thin string to the sea bed, it doesn't have batteries and it cant fly under water' in Malay.
I thought everyone spoke Malay here! Well done Mystic (photo shop-bah!). Cool trick tho'eh? Ben and I just had an AWESOME day flying, I will let him tell you about it, later
I'm too tired (and just a little bit relaxed!)

Only reason I thought Photo Shop was I didn't think anyone would take a "usable" Tx and heli underwater just for a picture....
"What do i know" guess JB will do just about anything....hope it was a junk heli ?

J-B,
I have to say that is a very fetching head-scarf that you have there Bob - my grandmother wears a very similar one. Do you have one of those "shopping bags on wheels" as well ?
Cheers,
Mike.

I was waiting for that! I thought everyone would be concentrating on the 'action' and fail to notice my snappy head gear!! How wrong I was! I have long hair and it gets into my eyes when I dive, hence the Bosnian Housewife apparell.
Yep, heli was junk (Chinese copy of PiccoZ) so no worries on that score.
Skydude...Manly? U sure buddy? I thought I could detect a little girlie sobbing in your last post (the one where you parked the Hurri heavily!)
Mikej, what a great idea!!!! Granny shopping trolley to cart all our stuff about....priceless!
Anyhow, none of you can say anything to bring down my current level of euphoria...Ben and I have just had a blinding (that's English for Awesome) day and are riding on cloud 9 right now.
Pics to follow in a seperate post.
Joy to the world, nose in at last!!!!
