Hey all, Reguarding the picture in issue 3 about that Raptor flying indoors, Take a look at this:

You guys at the mag thought it was a hoax, but there was something about the shadow around the heli from the camera flash. I thought it was real.

I thought everyone had seen this by now. I made sure MikeV saw it last month. He said he showed to the VP of Thunder Tiger and had a laugh.

I guess I'm a little behind the times. I don't go to too many places around the net. Usually here, and RC Universe. Just found this on RCU the other night.

It's interesting to say the least. I wonder if the wife mopped up all the fuel on the floor.

Actually, I'm in the process of moving right now, the living room's empty. I should try it once before we shampoo the carpet! :D

Did everyone see the 'hoax' picture on page 18 of issue #3 about the raptor 90 flying indoors? Turns out it's no fake. Here's they video to match. 17seconds in you'll see a camera flash and if you watch and compare the background to the picture ... you'll see a perfect match. Pretty crazy.

What's the big deal? I fly my Bergen turbine in the living room all the time. The only accident I ever had was when my wifes cat made the unwise decision to try and tackle the chopper in mid air. I never liked that cat anyways. :p

Seriously though, did you guys notice the bald dude in the middle holding that plant stand or what ever it was. I guarrantee he had that to use as a shield if needed.

I reckon it’s just an innovative way of testing the house hold smoke alarm!!! You can hear the alarm going in the back ground!!!! LOL :D
BTW yes you can see that bald dude going into defensive mode :eek:
