Well Paul,
                There are a variety of airplanes to be flown in a backyard, 
all depending on the size of yard you have..
        Control line, free flight (elastics) or helicopters...
        I have a helicopter, a LMH 100 one of the smallest gas powered heli's 
available..also you might lean towards the electric helis'..a lot less noise 
but lee flying time and limited time...
        If you're looking for backyard flying..look into heli's, some could 
be expensive but worth your while..
        If you have any questions, comments or just want to chat...drop an 
line and we'll do that...
                                KEEP'EM LOW, UNDER CONTROL, have a blast !!
                                                STEFF
