But running servo range checks and bumping into hallway walls doesn't really count as flying. I already gave it a minor crash once and broke something — **seriously, don't fly in tight spaces**, it almost always ends with a snapped carbon part.

Then there's the whole...

# My first visit to this aviation celebration

Something always got in the way and I could never make it to Pardubice. This year I managed it — I bought an **electronic** ticket (a great idea from the organisers) and headed off. By the way, if you get one of the pricier ticket options you'll be looked...
