Mini RC Helicopter

These little shops selling all kinds of remote control aircraft and helicopters have been popping up everywhere lately. Every time I walk past I drool at the bigger ones which go for upwards of $1000. But on the other end of the scale you can find these mini RC helicopters. For the price, you can’t go wrong. They are SO ridiculously cheap. A lot of the very basic models don’t even have full control for forward and backwards motion, but it doesn’t matter – they are still a ton of fun. Since they are so light, they are practically unbreakable too, making an excellent kids toy (or gift).

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check this out.

There are so many variants that I’m not going to detail them all out but here are some of the cooler ones you can get pretty cheaply.

Combat equivalents of the mini dragonfly – with infrared emitters and sensors they can shoot each other out of the sky. Awesome! Buy here.
