Thing is, that mini-copter is made for indoor use. If you play it outside, it'll get picked up by the wind in an instant.
Too bad that Papagasa played with it too close to the TV. I bought a mini-quadrotor for my dad, but I had him tie a piece of string to it and weigh it down with a brick whenever he takes it out for a spin. That way, he can fly it to his heart's content without having to worry about losing it (unlike our old R/C Copter, which was lost to high winds within 10 minutes of unboxing...).
For the poll, I'm fine with just an R/C car. But an R/C Jagdpanzer 38(t) with functional (BB) gun is fine, too.
