For years I can remember wanting a remote controlled helicopter.  But “back then” it would cost thousands of dollars and you would need great skill to both assemble and fly the craft.  So you can imagine that when I found out you can have a palm sized remote controlled helicopter that you learn to fly in your own living room for under $30 that I just had to have it!

The hardest part to getting this puppy ready for flight was cutting it loose from the box!  6 AA batteries into the combination remote control/charger and 20-minutes of charging is all it takes. 

Controls are very simple.  You have throttle and yaw control only, so don’t expect precision maneuvering like the marketing material implies but with little practice you’ll be buzzing around the room, hovering and landing “more or less” where you want.  It took me three charging cycles to get to the point where I could take off in the living room and land on the kitchen table.  I have no doubt I will have this fully mastered in a dozen more flights.

I personally can’t wait to bring it to the office and send it on recon missions
