mount a water-balloon dropper, and a guidance camera on the thing

float over neighbors... drop... fly away

hahahah
that'd be so much fun

hmm... for $200 you can buy a full working 4 channel rc helicopter that can hover, fly foreward/backwards, etc..
and for $90 you can get a weird looking 4 rotor helicopter that has full controls also.

choices choices...

Indeed, although those larger helicopters definitely are a bit pricier. Would be cool if you could do it with the minis but I doubt they have enough engine power to lift the weight. Hmmmm perhaps a note attached via string that you could drop down in front of people with some cute saying.....

now that it's been a week, was anyone able to get any experiences with it?

The site says left/right and up/down. There's this plantform in the picture, most likely a launcher. My feeling is this thing is a constant rotor speed, up/down controlled by blade pitch and left right controlled by axis tilt.

Maybe you can find them in your local grocery/toys are us/etc.... store too and not only on this website.

<--- running out door to go to nearest Meijer

EDIT: $70 at Meijer
Neat toy, but not worth $70 (especially when it's the same one you can buy online for $30, just in a different box!)

Water balloons are too heavy for most hobbyist models. However, an egg is *not*. hehe :evil:
