For all of you helicopter enthusiast out there the new Blade CX2 has arrived.

I started out flying the well known beginner Dragonfly helicopter, and have recently upgraded to the Blade CX2. The CX2 is an incredibly stable helicopter in flight. The very first time out of the box the CX2 was in an effortless hover with very little use of the controls. This helicopter easily fly’s up to 50 feet in calm winds and it will still go higher if you need (and I know this from experience).

Have you ever thought being a pilot might be fun or even a little challenging? Well It can be a lot of both, even if it is just an RC helicopter pilot. I have always wanted to own one but just wasn't ready to invest the money. I always thought for a decent helicopter that would actually fly I would have to spend a couple of hundred dollars or more. Well come to find out I was wrong. My brother has found some that would fly just fine and didn't even cost fifty dollars. Perfect for a beginner. So for Christmas this year he sent me one. It's called the Dragonfly. It's alot funner than I even thought it would be. Now I am by far an expierenced RC pilot, but I can still fly this helicopter pretty well. If you are interested in flyIng a beginner helicopter this will be a great starter. I liked this helicopter a lot because you can wreck it were you might think it's broke for good, but suprisingly its not. Just pick it up and fly again, its great! This is a cool video I found on youtube.com that shows the Dragonfly in action!

If you are looking for a good gift for someone this year, Why not get them a telescope to view the night sky. Telescopes can be enjoyed by people of all ages.I have enjoyed the view through my telescope for several years.When I was first interested in viewing the moon I purchased an amateur telescope at my local Wal-Mart. It was fairly inexpensive, yet it gave me the chance to learn more about how mysterious the view of the night sky can be.After looking through an amateur telescope for a couple of years I stepped up to a larger telescope.Now that I am more interested and have a better understanding of what is really going on, I have been able to view many of the planets in our solar system.Alot of us see them but may not realize it.
