A tiny helicopter you can easily maneuver inside the house, zipping up, down and all around! Yes, when I first saw these little machines from Discovery Store I knew my son would go crazy for one. (Actually, I wanted to fly one too!) Metal Frame Micro RC Helicopter
The Metal Frame Micro RC Helicopter from the Discovery Store is the smallest Metal-frame helicopter on the market. It features a built-in gyroscope which makes it easy to control. (Well – I have no idea what a gyroscope is! But, the company says that makes it easy to control. So I guess that is what a gyroscope can do for a pint-sized helicopter!)
Fortunately the helicopter is rechargeable and features a lithium-polymer battery which takes 30-40 minutes to charge. It charges through its radio control unit and flies for about 8-12 minutes between charges. It isn’t a long play time between charges. But hey — we are flying helicopters in the house! Very cool. So I guess I can’t complain that the charge doesn’t last long enough!
The Metal Frame Micro RC Helicopter is manufactured by hand with a durable metal frame. (I suppose it isn’t very “boyish” to say that it is cute — but it so is!!!) I don’t imagine it will last for too many months with my kids — but for the intended age range of 12 years and older, I am sure it will be quite durable.
The DiscoveryStore.com has so many fabulous and unique toys and games. It is the perfect place to check out if you are trying to come up with an enriching and fun gift!
Get ready to fly! We have a Metal Frame Micro RC Helicopter for one of you! To enter, simply leave us a comment below!

For his birthday, Bebe Boy James received a remote helicopter, and he loved it! BUT, Grandbebe JoJo also loved it, and since he was only 4, well, once he got hold of it, it was a goner! I think this one would last long enough for us to get it away from him in time! Thanks for the chance to win!
