I am 54 - been building models since I was 8 - I can JUST hover my large model helicopter under control and havn't yet dared to fly a circuit with it - it's REALLY hard......

But today I've seen this .............THIS KID IS 4 years old :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o



I'm taking my bat and ball home ... little sh*t ~x( ~x(

Seriously though - what talent ..... amazing ;) :D

BTWThe Szabo brothers in the background are masters of their art .... and this is Alan with very rare footage of his transmitter stick movements .... which way is up :D :D :D



EDIT .....Oh bum .... just discovered that was 2 years ago - the little shaver is 6 now ..... and MUCH improved :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

my mate has a few RC helos - but he also has a VERY large enclosed workshop to practice wind-free flying!

still crashes 99% of the time though =))
