Off Topic: Cool Helicopter Site

by admin on November 14, 2009

My friend just took over this really cool remote control helicopter site. I’m going to tell you a little bit about and hopefully some of you will check it out and the links should help him out as well. More tax Q & A coming soon I promise :) .
