sillysi & Mickle... You can get them from various places, here's a couple...
http://www.skylinemodels.co.uk/Products/Hornet.htm
http://www.modelhelicopters.co.uk/acatalog/m_index.htm
manufacturers site http://www.mscomposit.com
there's a helpful BBS here... http://www.hornet-heli.com/cgi-bin/b...i?action=intro
Absolute sod to set up, but once done it's a peach to fly
Very sturdy, flown into a wall, couple of drops of CA glue later and it was back in the air.
Oh yeah, make or buy a training undercarriage as well...

TBH, I dont see what their problem is. Sure you aren't going to get professional photo quality from one, but they cost 200 quid!!!
IMO the pic quality is fine, its not stunning, but its a million times better than those little espion cameras.
The video clips arent great quality, but then its not a 1000 pound camcorder either
MP3 seems good enough.
All in all its a great little toy you can carry around with you, without knowing its there - it's that small.
For me that was the clincher, I hate carrying bulky cameras anywhere. - got a fuji finepix thing, but haven't used it since I got this.
Will try and post a couple of piccys up from home later so you can see the quality.

My fave gadget? hmm, must be my Phillips Pronto Multi Function Remote Control. Totally programmable, totally customisable. If the device is IR, you can get the Pronto to operate it.
