A long time ago when I was at my cabin I saw a man unloading a small remote control helicopter (about three feet long) from his car. As it turned out this helicopter had cost $50,000, had appeared in several movies, and was then being used to shoot a motor boat comercial with the camera on it. Ever since I saw that I have wanted to build one, for much cheeper of course. I did not build the helicopter in this picture, but it is a good reference to the kind of thing I want to do.
