With it's 8,5 cm long body, this is supposedly the smallest mass produced rc helicopter in the world today. I have no idea if there is any truth to this. I have seen some smaller choppers on YouTube myself, but think they were only 2 ch and don't know if they are in production. (more...)

When I stumbled across this one on the web though, I knew I had to have one. For less than $20,- you get the chopper and infrared transmitter that you simply plug into the mic socket on the iPhone. I was flabbergasted by how stable this thing is in the air, and how fast I got used to the iPhone controls. I have hit the walls, ceiling and pounded it on the floor several times now, but I can't find a single dent.
Actually, after one of the first crashes the tail rotor fell off without me noticing it. It still flew flawlessly as you can see in part 2.
