Have you got a tank?

nope, helicopters.

These are the ones I have:-

Raptor 30 v2 (this has a petrol engine, the rest are electric). This is about 1.5M nose to tail.

Mini Titan - this is about 75cm nose to tail.

Twister CP v2 - this is about 60cm long.

Twister Coastguard - about 40 cm long.

The one I broke when playing with it in my house (the Twister CP) is now repaired and flying again - i did just briefly lift it off the ground in my kitchen to check it flies after the repair, and managed not to crash it again. Thank god.

The only one I should really play with indoors is the Coastguard, the others have the very real capability of decapitating me. Although the coastguard looks like a toy - and compared to the others it is a toy - it's still damned hard to fly well for a novice like me. Having wrecked all of the above (some more than once) over the last few months, i'm going to put all but the coastguard away for the moment while i continue with the lessons I've been having alongside practicing on the simulator I have (they're not really the sorts of things you can fly with any competence without being well trained).
