We recently got our hands on the new Ares micro heli, and decided to put it to the test. Would it satisfy [...]

So we normally do not do helicopter reviews, and if we did do them, it would probably be from a major manufacturer, but this review is special in a few ways.

I have managed to find a couple of occasions to get some trigger time with boath cars and boats. Our hobby is a diverse one, and it is my firm belief [...]
I have had the good fortune of spending eighteen months of my career in a position where I was flying around in a helicopter as my main mode of transportion. Some 250 return trips and rougly one hundred thousand miles flown, meant that I got to listen to pilot’s chatter quite a bit. See, I was sitting in the back, [...]
