So I randomly got some cash to waste recently and since my brother is getting a kitten for Christmas I figured I would get something to play with it. String seemed to simple so attaching said string to a helicopter made more sense.

Any of you guys ever bought one of those mini helicopters for you or one of your kids [whisper]which was probably for you when they got bored[/whisper]?

I’m thinking this one since it has a Gyro built in which I think would make it easier to fly (and 3 channel).
