Have a birthday coming up?  Check out this iPhone Remote Controlled Helicopter Groupon.  Over Christmas, it was $27!  They’ve dropped it by $2.  Great deal!  We have one of these with a regular remote, so this is a really great, geeky buy!

The one we got for our boys has been a lot of fun.  We used it both in the house (when we had a really high ceiling) and outside.  The boys and Andy would fight over who gets to fly it.  The good thing about these helicopters is that the blades are made to, sort of, collapse when it hit something, and they don’t break, so it’s pretty safe to use with the kiddos as well (as long as you supervise!) .  This one seems like it would be a lot of fun to learn how to control, because it uses iPhone or iPad.  Personally, I think it would be more of a challenge!

The Mota helicopter loftily slices through tropospheric air, hovering and maneuvering at the command of its iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch owner. From a distance of up to 6 meters, pilots control their chopper via a free app. The app allows operators to choose between using their device’s touchscreen or accelerometer to dictate the helicopter’s flight path. The mechanical bird emerges fully charged and recharges via USB. First-time users only need to download the free app and mail a thank-you card to the Wright Brothers before taking to the skies.
