"Each 5-7 minute flight is a stupid amount of fun and despite at least a couple dozen flights with my little Picoo Z since this Saturday, I’ve yet to grow bored with it. I’m having some difficultly not firing it up for a test flight while writing this right now."

OK, a little off topic as I’m guessing these things will not sync their flight plans via ActiveSync – but once you read the post on this new remote control micro-helicopter, you’ll feel like you just have to check out this new ‘office toy’.

They’re available at Radio Shack at around $40 and, possibly Toys R Us. The Dethroner post has details on some suggested mods to improve performance, links to forums for more advice on mods, and just a brilliant rundown of the virtues of the Picoo Z.

Even if office toy helicopters are not your thing (huh?), it is definitely worth visiting and bookmarking Dethroner.

This is a great new site – described as: an every day digest of news, advice, DIY projects, pictures of lions, grooming products, and fist-clenching admonishment. It’s the perfect guide for the imperfect man.  It’s very well done, very funny, and even features a theme each week. This week’s theme is fighting.
