When your model helicopter goes wrong

By Reden Posted on January 17, 2012 Posted in Thing of the Day No Comments Tagged with aviation, hobbies, models

Did anyone get a radio controlled helicopter for Christmas? This clip shows what can happen in the event of a battery fault. It’s extraordinary how the operator managed to keep it airborne for so long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPeoklS3PA0&NR=1&feature=endscreen

Caving

By Reden Posted on August 18, 2010 Posted in Thing of the Day No Comments Tagged with exploration, geography, geology, hobbies
