with no less than 20 birds in its arsenal, Swann is certainly no stranger to RC flying toy (even one that drops bubbles!), but a quadcopter is something new to the lineup, which is what makes it worthy of a mention. looking like an aircraft that pops out of a sci-fi movie, the Swann Quad Starship RC Quadcopter is propelled by four rotors, each having its own protective guard.
had enough of iPhone-controlled vertical take-off aircraft? how about a change from that and go for a smartphone-controlled airplane instead? though the company behind this slow flyer, Germany-based TobyRich, claimed the SmartPlane as the world’s first smartphone-controlled airplane, it is technically not the first smartphone-controlled toy aircraft to take to the sky.
whether you are an aspiring movie maker or someone who just wanted a different perspective of your family outing photos, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision Quadcopter will be able to fill in the shoes and thanks to the influx of such camera-rigged quadcopter, the acquisition won’t leave you begging on the street.
with the Griffin MOTO TC Rally, Griffin takes step up in blurring the line between reality and virtual reality. app-controlled remote control ain’t need, but the MOTO TC Rally not only stands out with its realistically-style vehicle (and size too), but also introduces impact sensors on the toy vehicle’s bumpers to detect damage caused by
being a non-pilot, a camera-equipped radio controlled rig like this Hubsan X4 FPV RC Quadcopter is probably the closest you will ever get to the front seat of an aircraft. clad in a lightweight airframe, the X4 FPV is a full-fledge radio controlled quadcopter with a 6-axis flight control system, coreless motors and adjustable gyro sensitivity
the fun in RC flying is just about as fun as it lasts, so if you find yourself ‘peaking’ out of the normal learning curve, we think it might be high time to drop some package on your unsuspecting victims. well, not that we encourage you to do so, but you can’t deny the fact that the idea of being able to drop a “bomb” on somebody or something with a RC flying machine kind of thrills you.
the line between radio controlled aircraft and UAV (or drone) is being further blurred by new entrants such as the 3DR Iris Quadcopter UAV. actually, we are not sure if we should refer the Iris as a UAV or a radio control quadcopter, but one thing we are sure is that these things are a lot easier fly than it was a decade ago.
man has long being fascinated with flights. that fascination has long been a reality with jet or engine propulsion on fixed or rotary wing aircrafts, but never flapping like a bird as imagined by forefathers like Leonardo da Vinci. however, one French company by the name of Avitron has done it, albeit on a miniature scale
let’s be honest: we are pretty excited about flying cars, but even with the progress we are seeing, it would be hard pressed for us to see one zipping around in any time soon. the best bet of a flying car experience for now would be the B Remote Control Flying Car. this futuristically-shaped car features enormous wheels
always wanted to execute some crazy car maneuver, but not insane enough to do so? we say, go do it like a man – BUT in a smaller scale with this Mammuth Rewarron 1:3 Scale R/C Car. yes. it is a radio control car, so assuming all precautionary measures are taken, it should be as safe it can get.
if you perceive Air Hogs as a kid’s toy, then there’s a good chance that the new Air Hogs Elite Helix X4 Radio Control Quadcopter might change your perception. make no mistake here. the Elite Helix X4 is not an infrared-control two (or three, at best) channel flying toy that your five-year old nephew runs around with.
