Imagine a dragonfly – with a 40cm wingspan, flying around your lounge room. OK, now that all the insect-phobics have fainted – we'll continue!
The makers of Robosapien now give you the FlyTech Dragonfly, the radio controlled (RC) ornithopter. That's right, this Dragonfly flaps its wings – in fact, both sets of them! (We did think about including an Austin Powers style "Do I make you 'orni baby.." line, but thought the better of it.) It's a remote control enthusiast's dream come true. This aeronautical marvel can take off from any smooth surface. It soars, hovers, dive-bombs and with the right touch, it glides silently in for soft landings. Of course, the soft landings may take a little practice – but in the meantime, the RC Dragonfly's crash-resistant carbon fibre structure will withstand many a collision.
Available in two frequencies, so you can get a couple going at once! The two channel digital proportional remote allows you to control wing speed and tail rotor speed...and there's two flight settings – beginner and advanced, including a tail stabiliser for additional control.

Take it outdoors and the flying range is about 15m. Bring it indoors and the ultra-lightweight design means both it and your home are safe. Just watch its eyes with light-up LEDs - they blink, pulse or shine brightly to let you know the Dragonfly's status. When it needs a charge, all it takes is 20 minutes – giving you a good 10 minutes flying time.
The FlyTech RC Dragonfly, it defies the laws of nature and rewrites the book on fun!
