radio controlled helicopter

Picked up an airhogs stinger today at target. On sale for 24.99. Fun and easy to buzz around the house. Drives the kitties nuts too!

The little hexbugs nanos are cool cat toys as well. The little suckers act like they've got a mind of their own.

I'm waiting for the one at AR.Drone.com – Parrot Wi-Fi quadricopter. Augmented Reality games on iPhone, iPod touch & iPad

It's $299, but is controlled by WiFi and has cameras for viewing what it sees. Currently it'll work with the iPhone, but hopefully there'll be an Android app for it.

That is one nice helicopter there and price. I started in the days of 5 foot diameter blade helicopters. Finally gave them up. 10 years later these little ones come out and back at it again.

Note my striped rotors ... Now I have time again as the AH who owned the school I taught at took off with no warning:
