Anyone else get one of these over christmas? I bought myself one after seeing the one my Dad got - its fucking awesome, not had so much fun from an RC toy, ever!
Strictly its not RC, but infrared - but well worth buying for £25

Im off out now mate but ill measure it tomorrow for you if i surface from my bed It can be used indoors, its not like one of the £800 amazing ones, the rotors hurt when they hit you but not excruciatingly so, and i wouldnt recommend it around anything expensive either

I've seen these fly and they are good value for money but difficult to control - the one in the first post are much more fun as they don't damage anything or themselves. The second (bigger) one could quickly damage paintwork and crack the blades....
