Learn to Fly 3d RC Helicopters

This isn't a problem, its more of a curiosity / observation.

Lately, at night time after work (its winter where I am with a 5:20 pm sunset) I have been doing hovering / light circuits / figure 8's at a soccer park with decent lighting at night, but only when no one is around. (I dont want to do anything more than this at a public park for safety reasons).

The helicopter is a Hirobo Lepton, Jeti Hacker Speedie, Scorpion engine, No electronic governor setup in the Vbar software.

At this time the air is rather still, no wind, and cold.

Sometimes, when hovering and leaving the collective...

Crash decided to claim the life of a 40 size electric Ugly Stick at our field today. The pilot said he was watching a passing bird, rather than looking at his plane when he lost control and went in nose first. WARNING! the attached images are graphic, and not suited for all audiences.

Here is a heart wrenching question. If you had to only keep one helicopter (I know this would be torture for you @5Fidy ) which one would it be and why? For me I find it really hard to answer this but i would say my MiniP - Just because I can fly it in many more places and it is cheaper to run... But if i had lots of money and a flying field at my disposal, my Gobby 700.
Big deal you may say - BUT this could lead to a relaxation on the commercial use of drones in America, then maybe Australia and globally!Note that they have called a heli a drone?. Fair enough I suppose..
