Gadgets and stuff

[Rotorhead]

The other night on Virgin 1, there was a show called Gadgets and stuff, that had a bit about R/C models on it, including helicopters.

Why is it that every time a model flyer gets in front of a camera they show our hobby up, I wont mention names, those who saw it will know who it was, but as far as model heli flying goes the guy is well known, and he has acted like a three year old on another show about R/C models throwing his hat in the air when winning a model relay race.

Anyway, on this one, while flying a hummingbird with an airwolf body on it, he nearly flys it into the presenters face and himself, both are sat down while he's flying it, so not in the best posture to get out of the way, by the reaction of the presenter it seems that he didnt clue her in that they will injure you if they hit you, and a hit to the face could mean you get blinded, her laugh though gives it away that she wasnt aware of the danger she was in.

So please, if anyone is asked to do something for either local or national tv please dont fly dangerously and make us all look like a bunch of cowboys.

Well I am hesitant to drop names, but I am really tempted by what I saw, but if you have seen him before then you would guess by the discription, the other show I mentioned was called model madness IIRC.

Ok, I wasnt going to mention names, since I doubt he's on these forums to defend himself, but yes its him, and the way he nearly gave her a rotor blade nip tuck, he should stay the hell away from models, he clearly isnt mature enough to be around them, and to be quite honest for someone who is supposed to be flying at competition level with helis, his flying skills looked very inaccurate, lots and lots of drifting, and a very rough landing.

Cheers, I knew it was something like that, there was definatly another one called model madness though, around the same time, I think there was also one called Supermodels, and another one, but yeah it was remote madness, with the relay races.

there was a show called model mania that had the guy off BLUES CLUES (no i dont watch it but my 4yr son does ). that was ok as every show was about different parts of the hobby, one week it was trains then next week it was boats then the next week it was helicopters or jets
