WowWee Robotic DragonFly - Blue (27 MHz)

Description

The Dragonfly includes a 2-channel remote that responds to changes in speed, direction, and height. The world's first radio-controlled flying insect, the WowWee Dragonfly will provide hours of entertainment while enthralling the budding entomologist in your family. The Dragonfly is equipped with an ultra-light, dual-wing design and a highly flexible, crash-resistant structure, helping the insect stand up to bumps against the wall or hard landings on the ground. More significantly, the unit's unique ornithopter design flaps its wings just like a real insect, with accompanying rustling noises as it flies past. Make it fly out the window and into the open air, buzz up to a tall tree branch, and then gently come down and rest on a picnic table or lawn. The Dragonfly is a breeze to control, with a two-channel digital remote for manipulating the speed, direction, and height of the aeronautical marvel. You can even maneuver the Dragonfly into tight spaces or dive-bomb a neighbor--whatever your imagination suggests. The Dragonfly is built using a durable carbon-fiber frame, with an impact-absorbing flexible body and 16-inch wings that take a ton of punishment. At the same time, the structure's lightweight housing protects your home interiors should you accidentally fly into a wall or two. Completing the insect-orific design is a pair of light-up LED eyes, which alerts you of the Dragonfly's status by blinking, pulsing, or shining clear and bright. It may look slightly lifeless and demonic, but the Dragonfly is none of the above. It's sociable, fun, and creative. The remote doubles as a charging base for the lithium-polymer battery. The Dragonfly is so inventive that it's already taken home a ton of honors, including a four-star rating from PC Magazine, an editor's choice award from Popular Mechanics for products displayed at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Association (CES) trade show, and the National Parenting Center's seal of approval. The Dragonfly, which includes a single rechargeable lithium polymer battery with a flight time of up to 10 minutes per charge, offers beginning and advanced skill levels and comes with a tail stabilizer for additional control. The remote control, meanwhile, requires six AA batteries (not included). All items are backed by a 30-day warranty.
