i tested today my new RC helicopter \o/
I had a Tiny blade mcx, now i have a scorpio 1&21 ... not the same size, nor the same category.
i switched from "yawn ... to easy" to "no no noooo! ho-shit-ho-shit-ho-shit-ho-shit! pfewwww not crashed !"

Here it is : http://fractals.s3.amazonaws.com/vrac/2010-10-08 21.24.59.jpg

Sure you can, just strap a video camera onto the bottom.  Then you would also have a spy-copter. cool

This helicopter is too light (310g including the battery) to handle the weight of a camera (even a light one, like a cellphone).
Doing that will move the center of gravity too much on the front and it will be impossible to control it smiley

That's pretty cool!  They look so delicate.  I saw them & planes at the train shop. I got few toys too!  Be great to see it flying outside.

You know, if you plotted all the points it hit, you might have a strange attractor. wink
