There are actually many different types of RC helicopter and each of the have their own perks and drawbacks. So if you are in fact serious about buying something like this which one should you go after? The thing to know about these is that you are going to have to build them and then learn how to fly them. Not to mention that the best ones are quite expensive. So here is a bit of help when it comes to choosing one.
Gas
Many people consider this type of helicopter to be dying out simply because people are just not buying them anymore. There do seem to be two reasons for this. These are by far the most pricey out there and this is something you need to think about especially if it is your first buy. Another reason is of course that they are tricky to fly. Without actually being sat down and shown what eveything is it can be hard to fly these things.
Nitro
Nitro is the one that is next on this list and this is a very difficult one too. The reason this time isn’t because of the price, although they are still expensive it comes from which to choose? There do seem to be a lot of sizes when it comes to this one and this is the thing that can be a bit annoying for a first time buyer. The reasons why I wouldnt go out and buy one of these is simply because there is one more type that is best.
Electric
This is now the most commonly used RC aircraft and this is down to the fact is it is the cheapest and easiest to pick up for novices. One of the main points about this one that you need to take into consideration is that you will not get as much flight time.
Of course if this isn’t for you, perhaps you should try Airfix aircraft.

Gravity-defying cars developer to further Investigate Security And Military Applications
Do you remember my post July of last year entitled GRAVITY-DEFYNG RC Cars by 2010?
Well, we have an update on that. Its developer seemed to step up a notch on the possible Security and Military application of their "Patented Adhesive Technology" .
MajicWheels Inc. (MJWL.OB), a leading developer of gravity defying remote-controlled toy vehicles, informed that the company is intends to further investigate additional applications for its patented climbing device technology in the areas of security and military in 2010.
Potential applications could include installing a digital camera on a remote controlled device, and transmitting video or photographs to security and military personnel.
MajicWheels’ patented technology currently enables its remote-controlled vehicles to traverse a variety of surfaces, including those that are steeply inclined, completely vertical, or even inverted altogether.
MajicWheels currently holds the rights for two “climbing device” patents. A fully-approved patent has been registered to the company in Israel. A patent-pending application has similarly been filed in the United States.
“MajicWheels technology is now being studied for its use in various fields,” informed MajicWheels CEO Asher Zwebner. “The adhesive already enables us to make great toys, and we believe that the climbing capabilities of our remote-controlled cars can eventually be utilized throughout several other areas. In particular, we are now studying the use of the adhesive to aid in security applications for buildings and reconnaissance gathering military applications.”

Radio Controlled Helicopters
RC Helicopter Operated with Voice
Radio Controlled Helicopter is not a unique toy anymore, but following newly added auto obstruction detection and voice command capability will add a great surprise for your kids. This RC Toy is built by Nikko and is called the Voice Controlled Voice-Heli and although it is voice controlled it still comes provided with a traditional RC unit allowing you to fly it with a controller rather than voice.
Sensors are built in to the helicopter that can sense the ceiling and if detected the helicopter will stop rising rather than you having to panic.
iPhone as Remote Control for RC Helicopter
When you fly a Remote Control Helicopter, one of the hardest things to learn is how to control the remote helicopter that is facing towards you. When the helicopter is facing away from you, all the controls act pretty much like they do when you are flying a real helicopter. If you want to go forward, you push the control forward, or away from you. But if a Radio Controlled Helicopter is facing towards you, pushing the control forward makes the helicopter come at you.
The solution to this problem has always been to put a little camera and a radio transmitter on the helicopter and fly it by looking from the point of view of the helicopter. With the Parrot AR Drone, you leverage the radio and video display already existing in your iPhone. All that is needed is a helicopter camera that works over WiFi.
There is no reason why this idea wouldn’t work on any Remote Control helicopter (or RC boat / car / truck / plane / hovercraft / or what have you, for that matter, though I don’t think it works well with tank) but the helicopter and submarine are probably the most visually compelling idea.

Robotic Gaming Up Ahead
"...the robotic gaming concept has vast potential which is sure to be realized." so says Tom Dusenberry, President and Director of Robonica and former CEO of Hasbro Interactive.
Robonica could be the the next step of toys and entertainment. Robonica, a start-up focused on developing new forms of robotic entertainment, is set to launch its new product offering titled, “The Rise of Robotic Gaming.” The robotic games will fuse robotics, R/C vehicles and electronic gaming and stand apart with meaningful and structured game play.
Robonica could be the the next step of toys and entertainment. Robonica, a start-up focused on developing new forms of robotic entertainment, is set to launch its new product offering titled, “The Rise of Robotic Gaming.” The robotic games will fuse robotics, R/C vehicles and electronic gaming and stand apart with meaningful and structured game play.
The introductory product from this offering is Roboni-i Action Games. The creator of this innovative toy is Johan Poolman. A seasoned veteran and entrepreneur, Poolman says Robonica is looking to make the next step in entertainment robotics.
"Robonica was born out of frustration - frustration with the inability of the current generation of radio-controlled and robotic toys to provide any form of structured and interactive play, and frustration with the increasingly anti-social and intangible realities of video games," said Poolman, an information technology expert who is pioneering the robotic gaming concept. "Our sole purpose is to explore new frontiers and provide the world with meaningful and entertaining forms of robotic entertainment. Robotic gaming is the evolutionary 'next step' for entertainment robotics."
Roboni-i is the first entertainment robot with unlimited play patterns. It features 16 sensors, four processors, RF remote control and Zigbee peer-to-peer RF protocol allowing for competitive game play with real-world robots. Simply put, this is one intelligent robot. It comes with accessories and six action games allowing for real-world robotic game play. Users will be able to work as a tandem or against each other.
Furthermore, connecting it to a computer turns the Roboni-i into a wireless receiver. According to the company this will allow users to, “enter a virtual world where they can create profiles, participate in virtual missions, play online games and interact with friends who are online at the same time.” Once launched, Roboni-I will be available online at ToysRUs.Com and on other popular websites.
"We believe there is a strong and urgent need to provide a meaningful, repeat-play alternative in the entertainment robotic and R/C product categories," said Tom Dusenberry, President and Director of Robonica and former CEO of Hasbro Interactive. "As such, the robotic gaming concept has vast potential which is sure to be realized."
