How crash-proof is it? I've looked at them and have an RC airplane but I've heard copters are super hard to fly.

I have brick in my house, it's been bounced off the walls, floor, brick and still works like a champ. I got the one that fits into the palm of your hand, I now want a bigger one - its challenging to fly so far, I'm getting alot better at it.

easily already worth the $19 I spent. only last for about 5-7 mins after a 40-50 min charge.

I'm purposely running this into the wall at the beginning to show you.

I've found a forum with all kinda mod's, the rear rotor mod looks pretty slick. they have a camera mod too (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyb5a4wHhuw)

speaking of putting cameras to a RC vehicle...did you catch on the news about that person out here near Ft Worth put a camera on a drone and found a processing plant dumping blood into the river.

OK, you sold me on it! . You seem to fly it pretty good. I know I'll bash one up in no time but as long as it takes a beating and you can't go wrong for $19.

And WTF with the blood dumping??!! Crazy!!!
