Synopsis
Set to be the best selling toy for Christmas 2011 (As seen on the Gadget Show Christmas special!), this amazing Lightspeed i-Helicopter is so much fun. You'll be the envy of all your friends as you control it from your iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch. Android phones also supported (see below). The App itself (Copter Controller) is available free on the apple App store and Android market. One of the best looking helicopters we have ever tested and the fact that it is phone controlled takes it to a whole new level of coolness. Latest Gyro technology, easily controlled Up/Down, Left/Right, Forward/Back. You don't have to waste loads of money on batteries for the controller as it uses your phone as the transmitter (plug in the included mini infra red transmitter to your phone). The App features a TURBO button for extra forward speed (hence the helicopters name is Lightspeed) and you can even turn on/off the LED lights on the helicopter from the App (off saves power and increases flight times). You can fly up to 3 helicopters at the same time (automatically allocates a free band ABC), so buy 3 and challenge your friends to see who can do the most amazing stunts! As well as traditional control sticks on the App UI, you can also control the iHelicopter with motion control so you just tilt your phone to move the helicopter! Android phones supported: HTC - Desire S, HTC - Desire HD, HTC - Desire Z(Vision), HTC - Incredible S, HTC - Hero, HTC - Sensation, HTC - Flyer, Samsung - 9100, Samsung - i9000, Moto - MB525, LG - P350. Increased Android Support being added all the time. Another great feature is that the App itself will be updated with new features that you can then use with your helicopter (just update the App). For example a Flight Recording mode will be added over the next few months so you can record a flight and then the helicopter can play back the flight at the press of a button. Please suggest any extra features you would like incorporated in future updates.
