I have seen lots of helo vids in the past with petrol powered jobs and thet are stunning. These new electric ones are just monsters.
Years back i played with a petrol one of my dads and a couple of electric ones and it was incredibly hard. Just getting the thing off the floor into clean air and stable never mind all those mind blowing tricks. Very talented.

Here's something to try get a sheet of glass a4 size put a dot in marker pen in the middle and try to balance a ball bearing on the dot using only one hand .
This will give you an idea of the skill required to fly one of these machines

There was an RC helicopter related death earlier this month in New York, http://nypost.com/2013/09/05/man-decapitated-by-remote-controlled-toy-helicopter/.
I saw a mate of mine hit himself with his own RC plane once, I remind him of this fact often.
The Hughes/MD 500 pictured above is for live line maintenance work, removing dead birds is part of this.
