Hmm, I think I'll save the 200 DKK that a supermarket wanted for a R/C helicopter here and save up for a trip stateside for a real trip instead, actually I'm working heavily on getting my own place now so I need the money.
And I for one have seen the video of the person in the small white open cockpit helicopter several times, even before comming here, that man was insane, no excuse, not in that situation.
I'm surprised a helicopter pilot like yourself would crash a R/C one but I guess it's lack of seat-of-the-pants feel, one thing neither an R/C bird of a simulator can replicate.
Btw I've never heard of a dual-controller for R/C training, but my uncle, the one who died two weeks after we moved over to the island 3 doors down from him, had a R/C helicopter and he said he practiced with it tethered for a year before flying un-tethered and a guy bought it, for 40000 DKK, and he saw he took it to the beach and just flew straight out with it, and it disappeared.
