Hey A year or two ago I heard of a kid who had a nice Remote Control Helicopter that we could mount a helmet cam on.  Does he or amyone have a Helicopter around that we could mount a go pro on to get some sweet over head shots?

Any Ideas or suggestion and anyone who wants to participate hit us up!!!!

Well.....I have been flying model planes/helis for 5 years now, and let me tell you..It's not something you can just pur a GoPro on and have it work instantly. First comes the size, you would need something like a .60 size nitro heli..Like a Raptor .60...Second, comes the weather. It would be too cold (for the engine) for a rc heli to even run. Third and lastly, comes actually flying it. It takes about 1/2 year to learn to fly it (To the point your comfortable). It's not something you can pick up and just "fly". And the cost for a decent sized heli is about 3K.
