I was out and about and ran across one of these things

A FlyTech Dragon Fly

Jesus CHRIST i havent wanted a toy this bad since i was like 13

For 50 flat its so tempting but im sure id probably regret the purchase.

Just a warning they're cheap crap, just like silverlits Xrotor helicopters, they're the exact same price too

you can pick them up from argos for €60/ £40

got a hell of a good review from ign [surrender]

Conclusion
The overall quality of the Flytech Dragonfly is high. A rather straightforward system of LEDs on the remote control and in the Dragonfly's eyes advises as to radio link and battery status. Charging takes place by connecting the Dragonfly to the remote control, which makes field-recharging simple, and the overall process requires 10-20 minutes of charging for roughly 10 minutes of flight time. The Dragonfly is easy to launch by hand or from a level stretch of pavement, and it flies well in large indoor spaces or outdoors in light wind. The unique aspect of the flapping wings is attention getting and fun to control, and the ease of steering allows a pretty wide range of ages to get some action on the stick.

I picked one of these up this morning for a laugh. I was just flying it around the garden (it's dead calm outside this evening) and I could overhear my neighbours wondering out loud what in the hell it was. They couldn't see me because of a hedge. There it goes! Is it a parrot? No! It's eyes are lit up!

Awesome!

There have been several RC ornithopters before but this is the coolest I have seen.[thumbup]
