Dear Readers,
I recently got in to a new hobby - R/C Helicopters. I know, I know - its quite a different hobby from what I am normally interested it, but so what. Its always nice to try new things (Even if you are not good at it lol).
Anyway so i started out my new hobby with a very simple and basic R/C helicopter; the Syma S107G. Its a steady and easy to fly helicopter. It can turn on a fixed axis and can fly forward and backward and height is controlled by increasing or decreasing power/throttle. It was easy to fly because it had a balance bar to make sure it doesn't over fly in a given direction. I had fun getting my feet wet so to speak with this helicopter but it got boring quite fast. I wanted some more excitement so I decided I'll get a faster more aerobatic capable R/C Helicopter, which lead me to order Helimax's Axe 100 CP.
Now this new helicopter looked quite a bit like the first one in terms of size, but it definitely makes the first one look like a baby when it comes to flying. Unfortunately, I didnt get my feet wet enough with the first one to be able to handle this one. This helicopter is much faster and harder to control. Sadly, I've already dinged it in a few places and even cracked the canopy (i've repaired the dings and cracks with scotch tape and crazy glue lol).
I'll probably get a PC flight simulator to practice on before I take it out to fly again. Despite the dings and crashes, I am having fun learning and flying. If you guys want more info regarding this hobby and R/C heli's, feel free to contact me or post a comment here. I'll try to provide any information I can.

P.S. Here is a video of my unboxing the Axe 100 CP so you can see what it looks like and what comes included.
