For a mere $ 50 you too can own a small iPhone controlled helicopter company, which has traditionally been known for selling phone cases.

As Parrot face Griffin branching out its traditional ruler and offering this little dual rotor helicopter, which generally is controlled via IR commands sent through a special key, attached to iPhone. There is a full tilt to Steer as well as the power button on the screen.

The kit allows you to create three pre-recorded flight plans ("Go North, enter the bedroom, while the wife is sleeping, the fall of peeled grapes in her head" is one of my favorite) and charges via USB.

I had terrible luck with IR-controlled helicopters, most recently, I tried returned to the roof because it was clearly wrongly sunlight as a team, well, fly away – but hopefully this inexpensive little flyer will work a little better. Currently available.
