Lucy's new helicopter arrived yesterday. This video was done kind of quick and dirty this morning. The game plan is to try and keep the thing out of harms way but sort of dangle it in front of her. I have no way of moving forward/back, left/right with the camera in my hand though. Most of the action is at the end of this including Lucy swatting and getting nipped at 2:41.
For anybody else interested in a RC helicopter. Here's a brief report. Lucy's old heli was 2 channel. 2-ch goes up and down and has a l/r spin. Don't get one. This new Syma S107G is 3-ch, it also goes forward and back via the tail rotor. I have landed this in my hand, much greater control. 4-ch also has a left/right lean or aileron. Plus, f/b doesn't use a tail rotor it uses servos to the bottom rotor for f/b. Even more control. For a small indoor heli the best 4-ch buy is a Blade mCX RTF, about $50 more than I paid for the S107G.
