:o I not only want one, I need one! I've been wanting to get into R/C helicopters for a while, but even the little RTF electric ones cost a little to much for me at the moment. This thing is ideal, for me. I like my R/C flying machines to be small and quiet, so that's a plus. Thanks for pointing this out Ken. :)

Off topic:

One of the jobs I've applied for at work will have me traveling to Mojave California to visit the facility where my company turns F-4 Phantoms in to QF-4 target drones.  Real life full size RC airplanes.  I thought that was pretty cool, and at least a little relevant.
