Dragonfly Buzzing Around CES

The world's first ornithopter flaps its wings like a bug instead of using propellers for main thrust. It flaps right into Popular Mechanics' camera at CES 2007.

Finally somebody gets it right. Not a robot. A really excellent toy, but not programmable as the other toys from this company. Harder to fly at higher altitudes and useless above 7000 ft. Takes a lot of practice. I am positive that the varying reviews are due to the altitude issue. It is frustrating at first, but every flying toy is like that, and this one won't break while you learn. It crashes wonderfully, unlike most toys of this kind.

I've had mine for a week I haven't stopped playing with it in the garden and house it whacked into the walls and the paint's peeling and it's a little damaged on the body but it's really good, you must have done something wrong Dogdet, they're really worth getting! So much fun! But it eats batteries!
