Default Flytech Dragon Fly

I found out about the Flytech Dragon Fly about 2 days ago and went to buy one immediately.

Quote:
The world's first radio-controlled flying insect. FlyTech Dragonfly is a fun RC flyer that is easy or challenging depending upon the skill level setting you choose - beginner or expert. An ultra-light, dual-wing design and "high-flex", crash-resistant structure make the dragonfly safe to fly anywhere, even in small indoor spaces. The FlyTech Dragonfly is an easy-to-fly aeronautical marvel that looks and sounds like a genetic hybrid of the real thing.



Toys R Us has them on sale for $45 until November 16th. I suggest getting one for yourself and your best-loved child.

I bought one for myself and for my nephew (Christmas present) and I have been flying for 2 days and it is just a blast. So much fun it is ridiculous.

It has won a bunch of awards this year:

NEws/Awards:
*PC Magazine - FlyTech Dragonfly received a 4 Star Rating****
*FlyTech Dragonfly received The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval
*CES 2007 Popular Mechanics Editor’s Choice Award
*Popular Science Best of CES 2007
*iParenting Media Award winner and *iParenting Media Hot Award winner
*Radio Control Toy of the Year 2007 - France
*Boys toy of the year in Belgium
*Top 10 Toys in Germany- BVS Toy Association

Also, it was listed by Time as one of the top inventions of 2007.


Enjoy!

I should note that if you buy 2, you should make sure you get them each with different frequencies so they can be flown together. Toys R Us offers 27 mhz and 49 mhz models.

I got one, tried it and about 5 minutes later it crashed and the wings will no longer flap. You can hear the motor spinning but the wings are stuck.
