Air Hogs Jackal Remote Controlled Helicopter

Flight is a subject of fascination for many; even among those who fear it. While many of us take this form of travel for granted, very few will experience it from the controls. So it was with great pleasure, that I found my hands on the controller of an Air Hogs Jackal: a tiny, lightweight helicopter operated by a remote control handset.

Sky Challenger

I derive much more enjoyment from playing with flying toys than I ever have from being in a flying machine; which I do not like at all. Perhaps, a luxurious zeppelin with fine dining facilities maybe? No, even such a more civilised mode of travel has been proven to be innately dangerous.

So, remote flying is my wholehearted recommendation. PicooZ is an excellent choice and has been very popular. Weighing-in at a mere 10 grammes (and barely noticed on my kitchen scales, meaning I cannot quickly verify its weight in English), it’s currently Guinness World Record holder for the world’s smallest remote controlled helicopter. An achievement far beyond enduring one’s feet inside a pair of cold baked-bean filled wellies for a record period of time. Read more

Dragonfly comes highly recommended from the Toy Detectives. We played with this radio controlled flying toy nearly every day during spring (well I did). It´s simply brilliant fun. Read more
