Little toy R/C helicopters
The ones made from foam type material that you can fly indoors.
Which one is the best for around £30?
This one looks ok for £20

To be honest they are fun for about five minutes until you either break it, get bored of it or.. in the case of my brother.. fly it into the fire place. Brought new meaning to crash and burn for me.
That's not to say they aren't worth the money for xmas. Play have them for around £10 though.
I would say best = cheapest for these things.
We have the robocopter. It's a bit more stable than the typical copter but it's still not amazing imo.

I got a pair from RED5 and me and my daughter found them good fun for an hour or so... a bit tricky to get used to but they did work they didn't break and we did get a few spare blades in the box. Where are they now...in the loft with all the rest of the junk.

I've got two of the polystyrene ones, ok for starters.
Enjoyed crashing them into everything in the lounge.
Got this one now, 3 channel, lot more precise control and can be flown inside.

This looks more fun: YouTube - SHOT THE RC PLANE WITH BIG GUNS
Although I am slightly worried about the firepower available there ...

Do they open fridges and pick up cans of lager? If so it would be perfect for me not getting off my lazy ***, if not, then I have better things to do with my time, like go to the fridge for a can of lager
