Hovering: Indoors

Here's some general notes regarding flying your remote rc helicopter indoors:

First and formost, never run or operate a fuel (e.g., gas or nitro) powered helicopter indoors. Internal combustion engines emit carbon monoxide which causes asphyxiation.

Now that the lawyers are happy, lets talk indoors. Indoor helicopter operation is generally reserved to small scale models. You'll want to keep the room clear, as even small helicopters can do damage should the rotor blades come into contact with anything. Or, as in my case, the helicopters can scatter and rearrange your important papers.

When hovering your radio controlled helicopter indoors, some of the more heavier helicopters can generate a fair amount of air movement. As you're typically in an enclosed room, the air in the room can become quite turbulent. As such, expect erratic behavior.
