I received word today the two I ordered finally shipped. That'll mean a review here, with a possible paragraph or two about interfacing it with the helicopter's hand controller.<br /><br />I'll take a look at the Litehawk. If it's cheap enough I'll get one. Maybe we can do a tag-team review of the Litehawk :) Another first Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749942763035029635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754037359690107642.post-19000653682738005902013-02-28T22:16:26.931-05:002013-02-28T22:16:26.931-05:00I can't imagine being able to do that – it sou...I can't imagine being able to do that – it sounds fascinating, but if it's the same model of helicopter that I have, then I think the outlook is grim.
