As you can see I'm into heli's too.

I think this is a stupid idea, nitro fuel is expensive, hard to come by and you have to be careful where you store it.

A much better idea would be electric, not only is there hardly any noise which will attract attention (none with the right setup) but you can recharge anywhere. It's also reliable and doesn't cut out every few mins like most nitro engines would do, specially under the harsh conditions of the army such as dust, gun fire bashing it around etc.

And at a guess 98% of people don't even know what to lean or to rich means...

TBH they're both nothing special, give me a day and I could do the car camera system.

Give me about a week and I could have a heli designed with the same system. I would hardly call it a helicopter though, more of a VTOL. Good luck taking that out in the wind.

What you want is a 600e CP heli, that'll make 'em run.]]>Aug 18th 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/Aug 18th 2008 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/Aug 17th 2008 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/When the national English sports teams play they fly the flag of the U.K. (which includes other countries like Scotland and Wales who want the English opposition team to win!!!)

ENGLAND = British / English - the two are synonymous
SCOTLAND = Scottish

i didn't go to Wales or N.Ireland]]>Aug 17th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/Aug 17th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/Aug 17th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/
@NM - trust me, the English are not confused over their British/Englishness - as a national of this fair island I can tell you we are all able to make the distinction, it's just people who look in can't :)

Take your whole sporting analogy - You say the English fly the Union Flag at sporting events, which isn't true. The England football team fly the St George's Cross. You say the Scots don't fly it but Rangers in Scotland do. You have a very simplistic approach to this argument and although my reply isn't in a great deal of depth I can assure you ... you wrong ;-)]]>Aug 17th 2008 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/It's easy to combine four constituent countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) into one country (Britain) for just about everything, except the most important thing - soccer. That's why Great Britain is my country's Olympic team (with British flag), but England is my country's soccer team (with English flag). And, because Britain isn't allowed to enter all four of its constituent countries' soccer teams into the Olympics, we therefore don't enter any! But we may create a combined British soccer team specially for the London Olympics in 2012. Not at all confusing... ;-)]]>Aug 17th 2008 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/Guy "................."

The British army is the fighting force for England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland. [The United Kindgom of Great Britain]

Thats a bit like saying
"for the American army in hopes of nabbing the hearts (and pocketbooks) of Arizona's fighting force."

I know ROW maps are hard to find in America but at least try.]]>Aug 17th 2008 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/That's the biggest microphone I've ever seen!]]>Aug 17th 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/Aug 17th 2008 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/

I can get a perfectly flyable model helicopter from a shop a couple of blocks away, no patent required. And it will fly before that 'scalper' will.

Anyway, focus on what you know Engadget and leave the Military double-guessing to Wired.com's Danger Room blog. This is kind of like saying that Fort Bragg has a "makeshift training area for America's Airborne forces". ]]>Aug 18th 2008 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/17/british-bots-battle-it-out-army-style/
