The First Remote-Controlled Dragonfly.
Winner of the Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award at the Consumer Electronics Show, this is the remote-controlled ornithopter that replicates the rhythmic flapping and flight pattern of a dragonfly to stay aloft without the use of propellers or gas engines. The device has four Mylar wings that flap 500 times per minute, generating enough lift to send the ornithopter up to 50 feet in the air. The remote control has two toggle sticks and a trim dial that provide precise control as the ornithopter flutters, soars, dives, and glides indoors or outside. The durable carbon fiber body can withstand turbulent landings, the device has a beginner mode for basic flying and an expert mode that allows hairpin turns and aerobatics, and the ornithopte
r can be launched from flat ground or by hand. Unit recharges via connection to remote control and runs for 10 minutes after a 20-minute charge. Includes rechargeable battery. Remote requires six AA batteries. For ages 8 and older. 4 1/2" H x 16 1/2" W x 12 1/2" L. (1 lb.)
