Re: Aerokopter

I can't believe the workman****p on this unit.  It appears to be a 21st 
century Hughes 269 (which is a good thing).  Looks like excellent value 
for your $s.  This could renew my heli flying.  I am NOT comfortable in 
a R22.  I didn't see any info on autorotation on the web site but I hope 
it's better than the R22 (more forgiving at the initiation stage).
