Check out this fun toy, the Bladez 3D RC Helicopter.

First time pilots need not apply because this robustly constructed beast has been designed with intermediate to advanced flyers in mind. In fact it reminds us of one of those old-school petrol-driven monsters. The difference is it won’t explode if it crashes in the bedroom. Even so, we don’t recommend taking it for a spin in a small room as it’s liable to scalp the cat and rip your Colonel Kilgore posters to shreds.

As well as precise 360° movement and smooth hovering performance, the Bladez 3D boasts an intelligent R/C system that avoids interference with other R/C users. And that’s just as well because fellow flyers will want to take command of this brawny ‘copter by any means necessary.

A 30 minute charge will give you 8 minutes flying time, which is more than enough to hone your skills and re-enact your piloting fantasies. Just remember you’ll be doing all this outdoors so you might want to tone down the ‘Aargh, I’m going down’ pilot-speak. However, big shades and a leather blouson remain obligatory. So hurry up and get ordering. Our shipment of Bladez 3Ds is cleared and ready for take off. Who says the ceiling’s the limit?

The Bladez 3D RC Helicopter is available to buy online for $98.60.
