Flash doesn't help for .WMV files. Even on my Android XYboard I had to download a video translator app called MX Video to play those types of files. There were actually several apps available but MX was the only one that actually worked. However, even with MX I had to switch codec from "H/W" to "S/W" for Davids Whopper vids. Don't what all that does/is but it worked.
I've got one of these beasts in storage. I tried to fly it a couple times but was never really successful. I need to rebuild the tail section and glue/paint up a new body I found before trying again. But I only have the original style blades. Appareantly there was a better set available but I could never get my hands on a set reasonable so I stashed the bird away and haven't looked at it since.

Nice flying of that rare classic!
They're pretty rare, but come up on flea-bay sometimes. |

I had one of these about 15 years ago also, it flew like a Glider, I used different main blades from the stock ones.
