| Ok... you caught us. We've been spending too much time cruising this insectoid like mini helicopter all around the office and not much time with essentials like lunch and bathroom breaks... and who can blame us really. This tiny helicopter is one precision piece of aviation engineering, perfect for airborne cubicle exploration.
With a bit of practice you can launch the Firefly Mini R/C Helicopter from the palm of your hand, have it circle your desk and land on your file cabinet. Fly it down the hallway and watch your co-workers gape in amazement. The two-channel fully proportional control allows precise adjustment of the top rotor speed and direction. The Firefly is always moving forward slowly, making it very easy to control even for those geeks new to R/C helicopters.
The secret of the incredible stability of the Firefly Mini R/C Helicopter comes down to the torque control afforded by the dual rotor design. A traditional helicopter with only one rotor generates massive torque when the top blade spins. Normally this would cause the copter to spin out of control, but the rotor on the tail is designed to offset this torque. Therefore piloting a traditional helicopter involves constantly adjusting the tail speed whenever you increase the speed of the top rotor... difficult and time consuming to learn. The Firefly Mini R/C Helicopter has dual rotors on the top which spin in opposite directions. These opposite spinning blades cancel out uncontrolled torque making for incredibly stable flight.
