SO YESTERDAY’S POST ON cheap radio-controlled helicopters produced this email from a reader in Iraq:

Glenn, it’s interesting that you posted this as the officers in my unit are in the mists of a RC Helicopter arms race. With the Iraq war all wrapped up except the cleanup, we find that we have time to fly these things around our operations center. When someone gets a new RC helicopter, some else immediately has to outdo them and get a big, faster one. I’m on my third bird.

Glad to hear things have settled down to this point.
