I, for one, used to love R/C cars when I was a kid. Tyco R/C still has some of the best radio controlled cars, but I wasn’t aware of R/C aircrafts up until a couple of years ago. When I say aircraft I mean helicopters and things with propellers, not airplanes and jetfighters, though NASA has managed to build one of those recently. If you don’t have room for a normal R/C chopper, I recommend you try an ultra-portable infrared version from ThinkGeek.

The mini copters can take off from almost anywhere, even your hand, and circle your entire living room. Everybody is going to be impressed by your flying skills, including your pets, which will most likely chase these things, trying to hunt them down.

You got full control over this miniature flyer, so you can hover and turn left or right as your copter moves slowly forward. The remote can operate on a second channel so you can fly two of these together with a friend. Here’s an extended list of specs:

• Color Cycling Multi-Color LED for Night Flying
• Helicopter is always moving forward slowly
• Body is constructed from injection molded plastic and carbon fiber
• Internal helicopter battery charges from remote control unit
• 15 minute charge time, 5 - 7 minute flight time
• Uses 6AA Batteries (Not Included)

Want to transform one of your rooms into a miniaturized military outpost? Get these copters for about $49.99 directly from ThinkGeek.
