New Toy
« on: 11 April 2010, 11:04:34 »

Went to the Gadget Show on Friday, had some good stuff there. 3D Gaming looks awesome! Had some driving games and typical first person shooter games, looked stunning in 3D! As computer games command 100% of your concentration, i can see this catching on, unlike 3D TV. Look forward to a version of Call of Duty in 3D!

Bought myself a little toy:



Its full 3 channel model helicopter, its quite hard to fly! Just getting it to hover in a same position is challenging.

Comes with little charger and tiny lithium battery:



Its good fun though, something to wind up the dogs with  ;D

My mate has 3 petrol ones and one day when he gets time I hope to video them in action.  He has also had the 1st ten lessons in the real thing and has got hooked on it.

Looked at that, tad difference in price!

Standard flying lessons look more reasonably priced, got a couple of local air-fields near by. Could be tempted  8-)
