The swept back wafer thin wings and tail help to control the stability of forward flight, and the multi-directional control allows you to fly in any direction you can think of, and often a few you hadn't expected. Saying that this is cool is like saying Ricky Gervais is mildly amusing, or that Tiger Woods is quite handy at crazy golf. Its really quite hard to describe (which is why we're failing so miserably) just how awesome this indoor flier is. The way it moves through the air makes the Harrier look clumsy - even if it does have more weapons... To keep it light and balanced, the bodywork has been stripped to a minimum, and a twenty minute charge should give you a good ten minutes of the best indoor flying experience you've ever had. The RC Jump Jet is relatively easy to fly. Well, it definitely is compared to the real deal, but being unconventional by itself will probably involve a rather steep learning curve, but we're sure it'll be fun once you get the hang of it.

An ultra-light, dual-wing design and "high-flex" crash-resistant structure make Rex safe to fly anywhere, even in small indoor spaces. Rex is an easy-to-fly aeronautical marvel that can soar, dive-bomb and glide for a soft landing! Coelurosauravus – aka RexRex is a flying reptile from the Permian period about 250 million years ago and is unusually active and intelligent for a cold blood. He appears in the first programme and immediately bonds with Abby, so that when they try to return him to his time he sneaks back to be with her. For the rest of the series she keeps him – for the most part secretly - in her flat with the central heating on full blast to suit his exotic tastes (there were no ice caps in the Permian). Rex is based on a smaller reptile (about half Rex’s size) called Coelurosaravus jaeckeil found in Germany. His wings were formed by extensions of his ribs but he could not fly only glide. He is, however, the first known vertebrate flyer because he predates the pterosaurs.

Micro motors enable the balloon to be flown forwards, backwards, up and down. RC Bliimp Motor Trickiest of all pre-flight preparations is balancing the balloon. You need to make it float in mid-air.

Once you have your balance right, the helium will last for a few good flights.

The vehicle has three propellers giving you total control. If you're good, you can watch the fans turning and get a real feel for the movement of the vehicle, as well as mastering the handset levers and switches. Once you're up and away, the balloon in flight is an awesome sight, and you get a real sense of satisfaction making it do its stuff from the comfort of the sofa. You can have races, precision flight contests and put on aerobatic shows limited only by imagination!
