Well 2 ch RC ones do anyway.

Found this in the charity shop for the price of a couple of decent beers. Boxed and I'm guessing un-flown.
Sure it goes up and quite naturally down, left and right too, but without that 3rd channel (no forward/backward control) is soon out of TX range and the inevitable heavy landing (= 1 broken skid). Should have gone with my first intent and put it on e-bay, but at least I didn't pay the £39.99 rrp for it.
Will probably just bolt it on top of my rig for extra cooling this summer .
So any other novel suggestions?
