The Ultimate Mini Copter’s

Dark-3Ok I’m a little embarrassed to say this but mini helicopters are buy far one of my favorite geeky toys. I’ve owned many different types over the years and my all time favorite has been the Micro Mosquito. I’ve had it for years and its gone through hell and still works great, I learned how to fly these mini copters with the Micro Mosquito and had to buy a couple of rotor blades over the years do to family members accidentally sitting on them , crazy crashes, pets, etc. Now don’t take that the wrong way, the amount of abuse this copter has endured is mind boggling. For something so fragile looking it holds up to crashes and most other blunders remarkably well, at first I used to treat it like it was made of glass and every time it crashed I would freak out thinking it’s ruined, until I picked it up and all was fine. Not that I’ve crashed all that often..LOL. There is a learning curve but its very slight, my 11 year old was flying it like a pro within minutes. Once you’ve mastered the controls is when the fun starts, I have the Micro Mosquito and my son has a Dark Blade 3 copter, and in many ways I’m Jealous…LOL. The Dark Blade 3 seems to have everything the mosquito does plus more power and faster reaction time. I will be buying my own shortly. We often setup plastic army men or small boxes made of lite cardboard and paper clips and see who can transport the most boxes or army guys to a chosen location within a certain period off time (usually in one charge, about 6-10min). It takes about 15 – 20 min to charge. My son usually wins. If you would like to fly two or more at the same time you simply need to purchase the copters with different frequency’s, The sales people will know what your talking about. You can see a video of the Dark Blade 3 in action below. Remember these make excellent Christmas gifts for all ages.

    These look like a lot of fun – I bet my cats would love to get a hold of one of these when they are flying around.
