Hello from Viva Las Vegas....

While out taking photos at the Las Vegas Heli Fun Fly, I crashed into a "Flying Giant". Well not really since I was just taking photos. Anyway, I probably own over 60 R/Cs though I only own two helis and a hydrofoam. The hydrofoam is still in the plastic and the helis sit on the shelf--one older nitro Kyosho and one electric Venom. Perhaps, I'll get around to getting an Align T-Rex.

Some of you may have also seen me at RCX, iHobbies, Hobby Visions, or just around racing, demo'ing, preparing an article, or just hanging out. If not, check out the March 2007 issue of Quiet Flyer since I took the cover photo.

http://quietflyer.com/current_issue/current.html

Meanwhile, here are a few photos from yesterday and one from today. Nothing special, I just wanted to start off posting something slightly different: I haven't seen any night shots from the event, the inverted shot I just like because it was very close to the ground and I know the California pilot, and the last photo just reminded me of the cover shot I captured.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the photos.

Re: Hello from Viva Las Vegas....

Here's a photo of another heli belonging to one of the locals and forum member. I just figured that I might as well post the photo here as well since I posted it on the other thread.

Since the father (and the red Z06) have been checking out the thread, here is a photo that you might enjoy of your 4-year old's flying skills. By the way, I used to own a red vette though it was a lot older. It was nice meeting you as well.

Thanks. I've also been asked to demo an R/C car at RCX 2007, so I'll probably see you in Pomona. I guess if I'm not at the track with a car, I'll either be at the track or the indoor flight area with a camera.

Re: Hello from Viva Las Vegas....

Well if you want to crash big, that is one way to go. Although I own a larger and much older Kyosho Nexus, I wanted a smaller heli or to be more precise, one that reminded me of my 1/12th scale Yokomo onroad car--silver chassis and blue titanium.

If you ever plan to crash, let me know ahead of time so I can take some photos.
