Product Shot 1 The Pros:Very small (can take off from the palm of your hand). Two control channels to fly with friend. Charges from the remote control in 15 min.

There is a new wave of mini, radio-controlled helicopters beginning with the Silverlit Picco Z. However, the Palmsize R/C Helicopter (available from ThinkGeek) is even smaller. You have control over the helicopter with the use of an infrared remote allowing you to control the flight of the helicopter with left/right and up/down controls.
