How many fly at home and where? (empty lot,front yard or backyard)
What size of heli are you flying?
What radio equipment are you using?

I fly my Trex 450sa in near the front of my building
at least once a day using a DX7

I tried once at home but thought it was too dangerous therefore now I always fly at the club.

I wish I could fly 24/7

Hmmmm..this post would'nt have anything to do with the first topic...would it?...in any case it does'nt matter, the amount of reckless activities does not make it any safer, what he did is still unsafe.

I fly a 90 size helicopter and a 150cc plank in my neighborhood. To hell with my neighbors. If I want to be an inconsiderate prick, who are they to stop me.

I agree totally.I am learning to fly a 30 Raptor and I fly in my backyard.I live on an acre and a half with my 1800sq foot house and 1200sq foot garage and still have plenty of room for what I am interested in.As for the noise I am out in the county as long as I am quiet by 11:00PM tough stuff.But my neighbors think it is cool as most of them didnt know they existed.I'm not trying to be a prick my wife says it comes naturally

I love the smell of nitro in the morning..

You stop flying at 11pm? Hell, that's when I pull the mufflers off and start the night flying. Open exhaust rules.

Well thats when the 63 VW comes out with the 1776 dual 44 Webber IDF's sucking 110 octane LEADED Sunoco Race fuel.Most of the neighbors think it's cool too but some don't. Oh well they'll get over it.

LOL! I get a vision of you flying a 90 sized heli around in the dark with out lights or muffler. Just going by the sound flying around yourself in circles until you hear a blood curdling scream.

I do most of my flying (rex 450) on my 1 1/2 acre lot. Everyonce in awhile when I feel like testing my limits, I ride up to the local soccer field and let it rip.

Yes! with my co-axials. I did briefly hover my FP a couple of times. Not got the physical room inside to swing the nitro's rotors That's lie, they will turn, but I'm not skilled enough to get her to hover with 6 inches clearance from the furniture/walls/family pets/family members

I'd fly an electric 450 size, but can't.........

I'm limited to this because I'm in a Condo......
