I know, I know... it's a PLANE and a TOY, why is it here? It's just here as a "Hey, check it out" type of thing, so please don't get all flame-happy over it. If it's not for you, move on. Otherwise...this looks pretty cool! I've flown some $30 toy RC airplanes that sort of floated along and were fun, but this thing has some scoot--see the video here: http://www.jakkspacific.com/xpv/
Here's the PR:
Malibu, CA – Extreme performance is taken to new heights! Maneuver at incredible speeds on the ground, or fly over 20 stories high in the sky with JAKKS Pacific Inc.’s Fly Wheels™ XPV™ Xtreme Performance Vehicle, from the company’s Road Champs® division and award-winning Fly Wheels brand. The XPV Vehicle is an innovative and exciting toy that literally takes radio control vehicles to new heights, with an extreme level of speed and performance typically associated only with hobby-grade RC vehicles, yet is easily affordable and controllable for all consumers and speed racing
fans. Drive the XPV™ vehicle over concrete, grass and even off road,
at speeds approaching 20 miles per hour! Then take off and FLY over 20 stories high and up to 30 miles per hour! Put on a show for everyone to see by performing amazing ground AND aerial stunts with Fly Wheels XPV vehicle!
