Have you seen this yet? Chris at SlashGear put together a fun review which includes HotTech TV’s video of a crazy flying green-eyed bug that you’ve got to see.
Yeah, I know it’s been out since September, but no one was looking for holiday gifts back then. Pffffffft!
Anyway…press the picture to watch sheer brilliance in action.
That my friends, is the Interactive Toy Concepts Micro Mosquito…and it’s quite all right that you salivated just a little bit while you were watching; I won’t think any less of you.
The Micro Mosquito is suitable for ages 12 and up, and according to the website, it “is the world’s smallest, lightest and most stable indoor R/C helicopter. Fully assembled only inches long and whisper silent, its packed with high-tech ingenuity. Based on award-winning BladeRunner coaxial rotor design, the Micro Mosquito flies in all directions with 3 channel digital control going up, down, forward, reverse, turning left and right and it even hovers. Its open structure design combined with glowing green eyes lets you see the inner workings while you watch in awe at its total control flight performance. A great gadget toy for the home or office.”

Helicopter Length: 6.5″
Rotor Diameter: 6.375″
Weight: 20 grams
Available in 27MHz and 49 MHz frequencies.

Includes:
-R/C transmitter
-Charging Station
-Instructions

All this fun can be bought at Radio Shack if you are in the US, for about $70. Outside of the US? Look here.

The mosquito looks stable, it has the same rotor layout as a “drangonfly” helicopter.
But $70? should this not be more like $50?
