Gotten pretty good at the easy beginner learner coaxial R/C helicopter. Can take off and land on a mouse pad, hover facing in any direction and fly figure 8's without gaining or losing altitude. Sorry, still haven't figured out how to film and fly at the same time.

Picked up a next level, fixed pitch heli Tuesday, much more difficult. Crashed hard enough and enough times I broke it.

On the good side. The coaxial is much much easier to fly after trying to get the hang of the fixed pitch. Guess it will be the same process over again once I get good with the fixed pitch and move up to the collective pitch.

There's only paperwork if someone missed them or finds the body.

You gonna help? We could make little miniature crosses, nail geckos to em and light em on fire.
Still no return phone call. The *******s at the 800 number told me tough ****. The car is being stored unsecured in a rough part of town. I think the damage to the door is from someone trying to break in. Too bad they weren't successful....

When VW took my Passat back and refunded everything I had spent on it, it took them 3 MONTHS!
And most all of that was the poor communications between VW USA, and the dealer.

The mechanic is still chasing his tail with the srs light........and my adjuster told me that he would check out my concerns about the damage. Remember I said it looked like it had been broken into? 2 of the mechanical have said they had to charge the battery because it drained and, big ******* surprise, the acer tablet I keep in the seat back pocket is gone. Gonna light a fun fire this time, calling the popo and filing a report.

Here's the gash in the trim and some of the scuffing

The chipped paint....not to mention that the car is covered in grime and dust and pollen now

You have to slam the door now to get it to close past this and yank hard to open. Each time you open it, there's a noticeable pop sound and feel.
