[07:49] <nuvolari> whoop! got myself a RC heli :D
[07:49] <nuvolari> (starter)
[07:50] <froztbyte> \o/
[07:50] <froztbyte> don't crash it until you know where to find spares
[07:50] <nuvolari> froztbyte: heh, ya, I made sure it's not a piece-of-mud heli
[07:51] <nuvolari> http://nineeagle.com/
[07:53] <nuvolari> I have http://nineeagle.com/product_view.asp?pid=35
[07:54] <froztbyte> I bumped into http://www.cobratoys.com/Mini_RC_Helicopters_s/3.htm the other day
[07:54] <froztbyte> looks fairly similar
[07:55] <froztbyte> does yours have only short blade extension mountings, with the blades then mounted there on a circular mounting that allows them to turn outwards from the mounting?
[07:57] <nuvolari> froztbyte: nope
[07:57] <froztbyte> I quite like the design
[07:57] <nuvolari> this is really just an into heli :P nothing fancy
[07:57] <froztbyte> means you don't have nearly as high a chance of screwing up your blades
[07:58] <froztbyte> I have one of http://www.silverlit-flyingclub.com/xufo.htm
[07:59] <nuvolari> blank page?
[07:59] <nuvolari> content is blank
[07:59] <froztbyte> ja, looks like a dead plugin
[08:00] <froztbyte> click on Body Design
[08:00] <nuvolari> :D wow! that looks cool
[08:01] <froztbyte> pain in the frikken arse to learn to fly when I first got it
[08:01] <froztbyte> flying it outside is ... entertaining
[08:01] <nuvolari> lol
[08:01] <nuvolari> I can imagine
[08:02] <froztbyte> it's extremely susceptible to changing wind, so it took me quite some time to learn how to handle currents like that
[08:02] <froztbyte> but yeah, flying stuff ftw :D
[08:02] <nuvolari> froztbyte: how much did it cost?
[08:02] <froztbyte> there's also the Parrot drone
[08:02] <froztbyte> nuvolari: back when I bought it, about R1.3k, I think
[08:03] <nuvolari> not bad
[08:03] <nuvolari> oh oh! I need to find this link
[08:03] <nuvolari> hang on
[08:07] <nuvolari> froztbyte: http://dvice.com/archives/2010/12/kinect-powered.php
[08:14] <froztbyte> yar, I saw mention of that somewhere
[08:14] <froztbyte> maybe from hackaday linkage
[08:20] <nuvolari> Maaz: convert 800ZAR to USD
[08:20] <Maaz> nuvolari: 800 ZAR = 115.2 USD
[08:49] <nuvolari> whoop!
[08:49] <nuvolari> my skills are still to be improved
[08:49] <nuvolari> but it's going OK
