Your typical gyro stabilized micro RC helo with a very unique twist! (pun intended) Everything but the throttle is controlled by tilting the remote. As you can probly imagine, this is a radically new way to fly and with a little practice, the helo becomes an extension of your hand. It's all in the wrist, literally! This is new for the holiday season and the critters jumped all over it. Wacky Fun!

So What's The Big Deal?
The gyro is an essential component in many RC helicopters. Gyros in RC helicopters are used to control unwanted movement on the yaw axis. We at critter central consider this a basic requirement for RC helo fun.
But...What really makes the GYRO Air-X stand out is the tilt remote deal. The tilt remote has no joysticks and is controlled by tilting the remote in the direction you want the helicopter to go. For you technical geeks, they used three wide angle IR LED's in the transmitter so that you can tilt it around without losing the communications link. Also, for those not thrilled about slide controls, they spring loaded the throttle control so that it handles much like a joystick. The 3 channel control will allow you to go forward, backward, up, down, left, right and hover with one hand while you flip the TV remote with the other. (Nothing like multi-tasking)
