Pop, Lock, and Drop It
Since the dawn of time, when our primitive ancestors stood on craggy tors watching pterodactyls ride the thermals, man has always had a single dream: Remote control mini-helicopter flight. It’s been a long time coming, too, what with the prerequisite inventions of the airfoil, the full-sized helicopter and radio control. At last our crowning achievement as a species is here, and at a price that makes it available for everyone to experience. Let us each crash one.
This plucky skeeter is tiny and cute and, weather permitting, goes thrillingly high. Its design’s improved over previous versions—before, the remote was more or less for show, as past chopper models never regarded the signals they received as anything more than mild suggestions. Now, though, if you’re careful, you can almost steer the thing. That’s if you’re careful. And you should be, because a few full-speed collisions with the side of your house or the ground will—as you might expect—bust it. Our warehouse tester (a man of uncommonly keen aeronautical instincts and steely nerve) was able to actually guide the thing around and even successfully land it. If you’re reckless or panic easily, maybe you’ll want to buy a couple extra “training models.”
The heavens beckon, terrestrian! Launch thy polystyrene emissary into their wide embrace! Revel in the feeling of almost total freedom! Feel the very bonds of gravity slip! And while you’re at it, make this noise: “NNNEEEEEyooowwwmmm!” We find it enhances the experience.
