Woot! iFly Heli GYRO 3.5CH RC Helicopter $25.99
Yeah I absolutely love remote control helicopters and I have quite a few of them in my collection. Hopefully soon I will drops some real money on a 6 channel fixed pitch heli so I can see how fast I can destroy a $400 dollar play toy trying to do 3D tricks. But that is another story. Today, Woot! has a the iFly Heli GYRO 3.5CH RC Helicopter for $26 bucks plus 5 more for shipping. A while back , Kristofer put a similar and more expensive Griffin Helo TC to the test and found that the Heli is pretty good but there was a very frustrating lag. I actually have three of the Syma S107 helicopters and really enjoy flying them as they are very stable and hover well. It is the remote that utilizes the iPhone/iPod that causes some problems. In any case, the iFly is made by World Tech Toys so maybe the found a way to get rid of the lag. The World Tech Toys iFly comes in three colors, Blue, Red, or Yellow and is less expensive than the $50 Griffin Heli.
Head on over to Woot if you want some more information or to grab one.

I saw that and was thinking hmmm.. but then I remembered how much I don’t care for infrared and it’s delay.. yeah they’re a nice novelty but the delay is annoying..
I wish I could scrape up the money for 6 CH 2.4GHz BlitzRCWorks Matrix 250-R RTF Radio Control Helicopter w/ T-Rex Performance!
well you know the one I just got.. it’s not bad actually.. lots of lights on it, and it’s going to take some time to learn to control it, already crashed it.. broke a piece off…
Too bad it doesn’t (in addition to iPhone, etc) also support using an ordinary wireless router (or wireless dongle) and a desktop/laptop computer. I mean not everyone has an iDevice. But MOST people have a computer on a wireless network. Until they start supporting ordinary wireless networks and ordinary computer, I won’t buy one. Sorry but your LACK of support for ordinary wireless networks has cost you a customer.
