Not your typical RC

Robert Woods builds tiny robots to mimic insect flight. Check out his video--it’s really cool!!! I wonder if someone will ever make something like this commercially… It looks like fun.

Unusual RC

Personal Transportation Unit

Hey, check out this puppy!

Here’s an excerpt from the description:

Is it a helicopter? Is it a robot? No, it’s the Millennium PTU, a futuristic rotary powered Personal Transportation Unit (PTU) that can be flown just about anywhere. Most helicopters require at least half of a basketball court to fly and maneuver, but the Millennium PTU can be flown in an 8’ x 8’ space!

Fun, huh?

Though it looks pretty unwieldy for a full-sized adaptation for live people.

RC Snake

Okay, this is too funny not to share. I just found this RC Snake that comes in Banana Boa or Green Mamba. Check it out. It comes with a snake egg remote. For ages 6+ but adult help is recommended.

I'd love to hear about other unusual RC items. If you know of one, feel free to comment.

Hovercraft

For ages 8 and up we have a Hovercraft that works over land and water. So I went searching on the web to see what I could find about these fun vehicles.

RC-HoverCrafts is a community for RC hovercraft fans. It has a discussion forum, photos, tons of videos, info about modding or building hovercraft.

Here’s a video of an RC hovercraft on different surfaces:



And in this one an RC hovercraft stops to allow an RC car to load and unload:


Fun!

RC for the younger set

I just discovered some RC vehicles for 2 year olds and up at ArsaToys.com.
My 1st RC - Police Car
My 1st RC - Fire Truck
My 1st RC - School Bus
My 1st RC - Garbage Truck
Only 23 bucks each! I know what my grandson is getting when he turns 2!

For the 5+ age in the $27 range:
Morphibians - Gator
Morphibians - Land Shark

For 6+ and for adults looking for a laugh at $35, how about the:
Kick It! R/C Soccer
It looks hilarious.

And finally for a more serious RC for 5+ at almost $80:
Morphibians - Mega -X Kimodo Dragon
