Brookstone Remote Control Helicopter - uControl Cloud Force $52.98
$52.98
- Bought for me by my wife at Brookestone, this little helicopter is incredibly durable and reasonably easy to learn to fly, even for a complete novice. The built in gyro stabilization and torque eliminating, counter-rotating rotors make for an exceptionally stable platform. Mine flies for about 5-6 minutes on a 20-30 min. charge and has suffered the most spectacular crashes involving exercise equipment, ceiling fans and other obstacles without taking visible damage other than rotor blades. The high-intensity LEDs are remotely controlled and make the heli highly visible during night flights. After perhaps 20 flights and 50 crashes, it's becoming a bit twitchy due to leading edge blade damage and is ready for a change of rotors. A repair kit is included and more can be found at the manufacturers website at propelrctoys.net, where this product is listed as the Gyrocopter. All in all, one of the most satisfying and fun toys I've ever owned, my skill level is improving rapidly and I will be ready to upgrade when this little gem finally flies its last. Highly recommended!
