Designed from the start to be used indoors, it is constructed from sturdy polypropylene foam, which allows it to shrug off knocks and crashes. It is also far less devastating when you crash into the TV or Uncle Albert’s left ear. Weighing just 10 grammes (that’s less than half an ounce in old money) undoubtedly helps, but this has only been made possible by the very latest technology. The tiny but effective electric motor is powered by a lithium-polymer battery (the same technology used in the very latest mobile phones). Charging only takes 10 minutes which is good for around 5 minutes flying time. Cunningly, it is designed as “pusher prop” which means the propeller is mounted just behind the wings rather than at the front. This means Uncle Albert’s left ear won’t get shredded, and the prop is far less prone to damage.
