TAKING BACK MY OFFER

I'm giving my BIG (bad) LAMA to my brother-in-law...he hasn't been injured in awhile!

Here's the picture I emailed to him:

Hal, I guess I don't understand here, but it's obviously your choice of course, but you keep labeling the Big Lama as "bad" and "evil". None of the helicopters will do anything "bad" or "evil" unless YOU let them (with exception of course as in anything). No different than driving a car or operating anything mechanical in nature. Sorry it didn't work out for you and best of luck with the RC tanks as I know many who are into them and enjoy them. I just think it's a bit unfair to "dog" the Big lama for a mistake you made. You saw the pic of my hand. The Big Lama didn't cause that, I did. You also mentioned it was your fault so not sure why you insist on labeling it as "bad" lol? Good luck with the tanks and don't shoot your eye out! Wink

I once rear ended a lady in my beautuful Chevy truck Embarassed

I couldn't blame it on the truck or say it was bad, evil or that Chevy was horrible. The driver (me) was at fault. Rolling Eyes

I could have gotten a tank, but kept my Chevy truck and became a bit more vigilant from there on out. Wink

As with anything we have to maintain good judgement and safety. It's the same driving to the store and back.

Tony, as I have stated more than once in this thread: The fault was MINE ONLY, because of my inattention and disregard for the basic rules of safety.

Therefore, no fault attaches to the Big Lama. It's a fine little Coaxial Helicopter to learn on!

but it's still evil.....

All RC helicopters are potentially dangerous, from the little sparrow-sized toys to the giant quarter-scalers.

Even a TREX 700 has the capability to sever a man's arm!

They could therefore be called KillerKopters and not be inaccurate!

There is only one class of helicopter that is completely safe for the operator: The kind you fly from sitting in its cockpit, safely out of reach from its rotor!

You can absolutely rely on what I say, because I have virtually NO experience whatever in owning and flying a radio-controlled model Helicopter!

Ahhh, what history I've seen!

+1 on that Tony,

A heli is a collection of parts awaiting an opportunity to fall apart again. Doesn't take much to make it happen and without rotors they don't glide very well.
