My list comprised of a Lens for the superior Canon 300D

and/or

A Radio Controlled Helicopter!! (Just cos I've always wanted one!)

My boyish personality hopes for the Helicopter - which I know will be in pieces come Xmas Evening

But, the lens would last for years and years ............

What are YOU hoping to get??

ive owned several helicopters their ace, would always suggest going to a club though, as they will help you loads. very easy to crash, very hard to fly. unfortunate but true never the less.

heres one of my old ones



happy christmas, and I hope santa comes..

ooh nearly forgot, im getting an in car dvd/tv/mp3/cd player double din size (at least I hope so)

jamo

Holy **** ............ thats a PROPER helicopter!! petrol and everything!!

Mine will be Electric if I get one, and (apparently) easier to fly as they have advanced electronic gyros/controls or something?

I reckon I will tie it to the floor for a while until I can hold it level an inch or two above the ground!?

I'm hoping it comes with a lead to connect to the PC and a program to learn how to fly

petrol? - nitro you mean, the smell is tremendous by the way .

helis are notoriousley hard to fly, why not get to grips with a cheap nitro trainer plane first - you can learn about nitro engines ( that alone is an art ), RC-hand to eye co-ord, and aerodynamics all in one go. You will stuff it, so do it cheaply with a trainer plane.

probably some nice sensible pyjamas from M&S

Not if i was buying

I think I have the program to which you are refering. you need a handset to make it work though down side is it would probably cost you more for a hand set and original copy of the program than to buy a electric indoor heli

if santa dosent bring you one psl let me know ile send you one i have here (im not joking) its not the best but it works, you can have it for the price of postage.

happy christmas

If Pete doesnt take you up on that then Id be interested. I always wanted a helicopter after seeing them being flown on Cromford Meadows.

In fact Im sure I bought a plane from a model shop at Matlock Green but I couldnt deliver enough papers to save up for the engine and the RC.....

pslewis

I have an electric plane and can fly that OK, I have a Scooby of course and a speedboat .......................... I hope I don't stuff this Heli

(I might NOT get one!)

Guy at work is well into model helicopters. Think he had about 5 last time I spoke to him. He has a couple of smaller 'training' versions as he said that crashes are quite frequent. Some of the modding was quite funny(yep, even goes on in the model helicopter world ) - carbon fibre rotor blades etc. Can get a little expensive, if the bug bites...

im sure they'd look good tho...

GC8

Im from Two Dales originally but I live in Sheffield now. Id assumed that thats where youd flown them after you said that you were from Wirksworth.

Simon

You can never have too many.

Lets just say......If there isnt a 53 plate black 996 carrera2 on my path Christmas day, there will be trouble.

Known prezzies:-

Scalextric Skoda Fabia WRC car (My hobbies - Slot car racing, RC touring car racing)
I-Robot
The Verve (best of or summat)

And a couple of other things I'm not sure about. My GF thinks I'm quite hard to buy for but I've got many toy car related hobbies I would have thought it would be easy.

if psl dosent want it mate your welcome to it, as i said before dont get to excited as its nothing special its only an indoor one. but plenty of smiles to be had. ive had my fun with it. took it outside and the wind took it, it was quite funny

GC8
