Highest score so far - 1222 but then got stalactites and stalagmites all over the place and I felt like the co-pilot on that other thread.

"Do you think we can make it?"

"Nope"

"Oh ye of little faith"

Wallop!

Cheers

This test accurately resembles your ability as a pilot and is used by most companies of good repute.

Anyone beat 209 meters?

Remember, small movements!

Crashed cause I looked at my score to see if I had beaten Whirly.

Ah but I'm now on 1842

I'll stop playing this silly game when I get to 2000 - I can quit; it's not addictive

Damm you, this is addictive and I've just given the mouse a break so that I can take two days of stubble off my chin and replace the matchsticks propping up my eyelids. Passed 2000 but I'n knackered and wonder why I'm doing this!

Bauldrick,

The trick is, and your instincts should tell you this if you are a heli pilot, keep your height as it is easier to autorotate out of trouble than to climb

Cheers

Managed a distance of 25. Not so much poor finger control or hand eye coordination, as needing new batteries for my mouse!

I am no good at flying helicopters. I prefer Martin1234's contribution. The worrying thing is that I can get him to go further after I have had a bottle of wine.

I like that last one, but does it take into account the tangential velocity of the paper ball induced by the rotation of the cannon?

There's always one smart a-- out there, even at this time of night!! I don't so, although you can almost convince yourself that it happens, especially when the paper misses the bin despite "excellent" timing of release.
Wonder if there is any compensation for the diffusion of the airflow due to the badly manufacture grill on the fan?
