This little radio-controlled helicopter is the best thing ever, at least for today. A kid left it behind at a gathering I attended yesterday, and after an hour or so of tipsy piloting, I knew I had to get myself one.
I've already mastered hovering, gotten it stuck in a tree at the park--I had to run home to get my telescoping pole and a stepladder so Eric could poke it loose--and completely disgusted the cats with it, all in a few short hours. I'd say I've gotten my $25 worth so far. Hell, I should have picked up 10 of them. Then I could really have a party.
