Customer Rating:      Summary: Great fun, actually flies! Comment: Got this as I've been through a couple of PicooZ-type heli-things, and then graduated to a 4-channel co-axial. So, this interested me, just to see it would actually fly. And it does, although you need a fair bit of space to use it indoors, and something this light will not cope with even a tiny breeze outside, so don't even bother trying. May have to take it in to work, in order to have a bit more room, but managed some circuits in a large room at home.
The looks of it, combined with the shrieking noise it makes when flying, make it ... well, not quite a 'bat out of hell', but certainly something different, and a little insane too, which I like!
Also comes with spare wings and small plastic discs, which can be stuck to the wings to balance it: For example, if it constantly turns to the left, you can add weight to the right wing, so it is 'trimmed' to fly straight with no stick input.
One note is that this, as advertised, operates on a radio frequency of 27MHz, which is not actually legal in the UK, where the 35MHz band is allocated for models. Hmmm, better go and turn myself in then ......

The Radio Control i-Fly VAMP Flying Bat is an ?rnithopter?which means it flaps its wings to fly through the air, just like a real bat. With flapping wings and glowing red eyes! The flapping wings and glowing red LED eyes give the eerie illusion that it? a living (or undead!) thing, swooping through the darkness. VAMP RC Flying Bat larger image VAMP RC Flying Bat larger image A unique steering system and digital proportional controller means that the Vamp is able to keep its altitude even whilst making the sharpest of turns and is extremely simple to learn to fly.
