Ode to the Remote Control Helicopter

Rob and Sue bought this remote control helicopter for Brian over a year ago for Christmas.  I've got to admit, at first I thought it was a funny present for an adult.  But Brian and the kids have LOVED this helicopter.  Brian would get it out several times a week for ten minutes or so.  The kids would hold out books or their hands for him to land on, or try to blow it off course.  He'd fly it right by my face and give me a scare.  It had so many crash landings we were amazed it lasted for so long.  It broke at least five times and Brian would go to his friend Aaron's house and use his tools to fix it. It recently took it's last crash landing, and Bracken claimed it for his "electronics workshop." Lot's of fun!
