Fathers Day = RC Helicopter

Posted under A Geek Dad's Life, Blog Posts

Awesome day with the kids, fun at the park, and… oh yeah… an RC Helicopter.  My wife rocks.  She hid it over at a neighbor’s house overnight to charge the battery.  Here is a video of someone else who also got one just like mine. (We took some video today, but it is not nearly as good as this.  So, this is NOT ME in the video.) 

  

You can pick up your own for about $25.  It’s certainly not a precision flying machine, but each 4-hour charge of the battery will give you approx 6-8 minutes of fun punctuated with moments of shear terror.  TIP: Fly it in a BIG open area with no children or small animals around.  It’s definitely a must if you have $25 to burn on a frivilous toy.
