My life goals are darn near complete

[quakerboy]

I now own one of those miniature remote control helicopters. What more could anyone truly want?

1. A miniature whirlybird pilot? nt

2. Yes indeed

As soon as the darned thing charges up.

And all I had to do to get it was play video games. There's a nickel arcade out here, and my wife and I go occasionally. Save up your tickets for a prize, all that. But they never have anything I want, so we save from trip to trip. 2 years later, there is suddenly this copter. AWESOME. That's what I wanted for Christmas for 2 years. I had more than enough tickets. But they only had one left. So now I have to debate over who it belongs to, instead of having midair duels.

Anyhow, don't ever let anyone tell you you cant get where you want in life by playing video games, cause it just ain't true.

3. Bravo, Whirlybird Man! nt

4. This is much harder than I imagined

I have pretty well mastered getting it to fly straight up and hit the ceiling, then come crashing down to the ground. I also seem to have a magical ability to send it uneringly toward my wife without trying. But getting it to go a direction I would chose, or to land without hitting something, that so far eludes me.

Can someone explain the concept of trim, and why I cannot set it to just hover still or to fly in a straight line?
