I was in a local hobby shop looking at RC helo's today. What I liked was
out of my budget
for now.

I was hoping RogerN would pipe up about what type, model of helo could
handle a .45 .

Personally, I think it was a stupid thing to do. Hard to portray the
majority of gun
owners as responsible adults when that sort of thing is out there.

The heli in the video says it was a Bergen gasser, I have a Bergen Intrepid
..90 4-stroke. I think it's the same heli as the Intrepid Gas except the
motor mount/lower frames are different between the Gas, 4-Stroke, and
2-Stroke. Bergen also makes larger heli's with camera mounts, etc.
including turbine powered model heli's.

The gas heli's have a 2-stroke gasoline engine similar to a weedeater and
can run a half hour or so on a tank of fuel. The glow fuel heli's usually
have a tank sized for 10 or so minutes flying.

Here's a little larger heli with a machine gun:

For a .45 auto pistol, any .60 or .90 size glow fuel heli or similar size
gasoline heli should be fine. A smaller heli would probably work but you're
getting marginal on power to weight ratio, meaning if you come down fast
with the heli, you might not stop it before it hits the ground.

I don't like the idea of a gun on a model heli, as you can see from the
video, the heli is trying to go all over the place. It takes a lot of
concentration just to make the heli hover still, to do any good you would
probably need one person flying the heli and someone else controlling the
gun.
