There's just something undeniably cool about remote control helicopters. Yes, boats, planes and cars are good too, but there's something about a helicopter that makes everyone scrabble over the controller like overgrown children fighting over, well, whatever it is children scrabble over these days (Pokemon? Football Cards? The Upper West Side?).

The problem with most remote control helicopters is that they're obscenely expensive and remarkably hard to control - two things that don't mix well, especially when your fresh-out-of-the-box chopper has just taken a dirt nap in next doors garden from 100 ft. The Micro BladeZ Helicopter is here to help realise your childhood dream without leaving the comfort of your own living room. If you like your military machines, then check out the Micro BladeZ Apache for some gunship action.

The Micro BladeZ Helicopters are the first fully controllable 3 channel micro helicopter, meaning they can go left, right, up, down, forward and backward and they're small enough to fly indoors without having to replace the furniture afterwards. Even the cockpit lights up, so if you're feeling particularly daring you can attempt a night flight - best keep the dog outside then.

Surprisingly enough they're not altogether difficult to control - we locked our office idiot in the meeting room and told him he wasn't allowed out until he'd learnt how to fly the things properly, he was out within 48 hours (this isn't actually true before you start writing to Amnesty, he volunteered - we told you he was an idiot).

Full control of a helicopter at your fingertips.
