Wall-climbing RC car
Posted by Cory Doctorow, September 9, 2008 12:28 PM

The Air Hogs Zero Gravity Micro RC Car is a little infrared-controlled toy car that climbs walls and drives on ceilings -- it's got a little fan in it that creates a suction vacuum, allowing it to commit death-defying stunts. Amazon's got 'em for about $43. Air Hogs Zero Gravity Micro RC Car (via Geekologie)

The only radio controlled copter I've flown is one of those uber expensive type that if you crash you're out of hundreds or thousands of dollars.

I hope you use genuine Duracell batteries?

That's what it says in their commercials on TV.

Lithium Energizer, or Alkaline Rayovac are all I use!

It wasn't mine, it was a long time ago when I was still a kid at a U.S. Army show in or near St. Louis Missouri, and whoever the guy was that owned it just let me fly it and I even made a safe landing. They wouldn't let me fly the real deal Apache though (something about me being too young, too short, and out of uniform). laugh.gif
