Recently I stumbled onto a group of men flying RC airplanes. Saturday, it was the RC helicopters turn to take to the sky. Participants of all ages headed out to the Oroville Afterbay to take part in a fun fly day for RC enthusiasts. It was great to see these tiny machines zipping and zooming around. The helicopters maneuver in a very way that will never be replicated in a real life size helicopter. I don't really know if you would like to even if you could. Corkscrews, barrel rolls, flying upside down, spins and stalls are just standard tricks the the extreme flying of RC helicopters.
