I bought my son a nitro car a few years ago. Needless to say my feeble attempt to hide the real intention of my purchase fell flat as wifey collared me pretty much instantly!

I've had a play with the battery helis and they are very hard to master. Mind you even the cars are pretty difficult to keep in a straight line as they are just sooo quick at full pelt!

Which is why you need a mature person like me to keep an eye on you  :P

Says the one with a man-cave complete with a winch. Far too many toys to be anything close to mature! :))

Bought a small indoor/outdoor 4 channel helicoptor a few weeks back. I gave up in the house but outside its pretty good fun. Did manage to fly it over the house and lose it once. Found it on top of the wifes car - try to keep it in the back garden now :)

I did have another before this (indoor only) that would fire rockets with the remote. Now that was fun !!

44 going on 14 here  >:D
