ThinkGeek, the masters of bringing us awesomely cool geek toys, has just released the Black Stealth 3-Channel R/C Helicopter. YAY! This is not just another one of those tiny palm size helicopters with a different look; this one has the important third channel to allow full control of forward and reverse movement. Previous similar sized helicopters had only two channels to control the up and down, and they used weights to tune the speed of the constantly forward moving heli. In the looks department, the Black Stealth sports a plastic body instead of the foam ones used on the other two channel helicopters; this gives it a realistic appearance and actually resembles one of the more expensive bigger R/C helicopters.

Our geek friends over at ThinkGeek say that this helicopter is the easiest to fly and has “incredible hovering and stability.” The Black Stealth charges up via the remote in 10 minutes and provides 7 minutes of fun flight time. Two different channels are available for ordering, so two of the helicopters can share the same air space. All this flying goodness can be yours for $29.99 at ThinkGeek.
