NEW! A Radio-Controlled Helicopter with Color Camera So Revolutionary, It’s Used By NASA

If you’ve ever wanted to fly a spy camera around on a helicopter, now’s your chance. And if you’ve hesitated before because you think Radio Controlled helicopters are complicated and difficult to fly, think again. Advanced electric circuitry (eliminating over 95% of the necessary parts that make a conventional helicopter fly), an ultra lightweight carbon fiber body, and an easy-to-use electronic control system make the Dragonflyer III a revolutionary advancement in radio-controlled flying machines. Fewer parts means when you crash (and everyone does), there are fewer parts to break. The body is virtually indestructible and replacement rotors are inexpensive. Assembly time is only 30 minutes to 1 hour. We've crashed gas helicopters causing over $400 in damage, and this is not uncommon. When you crash a gas helicopter the rotors usually tear the helicopter apart (Ouch!). The possibilities are endless with a video camera attached to one of the world's most innovative flying machines. Videotape real estate, promotional videos, or hard to reach locations to make money on the side! The Dragonflyer has been featured on "Ripley's Believe it or Not," Space Channel, Discovery Channel, and Tech TV. NASA has even purchased this helicopter for research along with many universities worldwide. Impressive credentials for a radio controlled spy cam helicopter.

Dragonflyer III FAQs

Does it really fly? Yes it does!

How long does it fly for? Flight times are approximately 5 minutes, much longer with our new optional tether cord.

How high and fast will it go? Fast enough to scare you and as high as you can see it.

How much can it lift? This depends on many factors. However, at least 1 ounce - enough to lift an Eyecam micro video camera.

Do you have full flight control? Yes, you can control yaw, pitch, roll and altitude.

What is it made out of? The frame is carbon fiber and high-impact nylon, the rotors are a composite material and upon impact, they are designed to tear. This makes for a very durable and safe indoor and outdoor flying machine.

How many frequencies are available? We have ten frequencies in stock, so you and nine friends can race, compete, and battle each other.

How long does it take to charge the battery? Approximately 20 minutes, with our included digital AC/DC peak charger. You can purchase additional batteries to minimize downtime.

What are this product's dimensions and weight? The Dragonflyer III is 28" from rotor tip to rotor tip and 7" tall. The blades are 11" in diameter, and total weight is 17 ounces or 17.5 ounces with Eyecam.

Can it fly indoors? Yes, indoors and outdoors. The Dragonflyer III is a very safe, stable flying machine.

Do I need to purchase anything else for assembly or to fly it? No! A pair of pliers might be handy for assembly. We include an instructional videotape that guides you through the 30-minute assembly.

Can you really record live video from the Dragonflyer III? Yes! Our full color 2.4GHz Eyecam is perfect for making aerial videos. You can even make money with your flying machine!
