[olug] [OT] Christmas gift question regarding mini helicopters.

[Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T]

Have a number of Air Hogs helicopters and the most favored one, is the Air
Rescue, dual counter rotating blades with crane.   The one we have is red
and came with a couple rescue baskets.

It is the most stable flight out of the air hog line and an excellent
choice for a first heli.      It is solidly built (considering light
construction) and that makes it a good value for a "first" r/c heli too.
 It has been around for 12 months and still flies missions in basement. :)
   The pilots were 9 and 10, now 10 and 11

hth,

Jeff
