If you feel wired toys should have gone the way of the floppy drive, then the smart device controlled BladeRunner Trident T3 RC helicopter is the flying machine of your wireless dreams. This is the remote controlled helicopter that is controlled by a smartphone. A free downloaded app turns an iPhone, iPad, or Droid into a touch-screen remote control that communicates with the helicopter using the included infrared dongle, allowing for indoor or outdoor use up to 40’ away. The app uses the motion-sensing accelerometers built into smart devices to allow the simple tilt and pan of a phone or tablet to precisely control the helicopter’s forward/backward, left/right, and up/down movements, accompanied by a direction and speed indicator; a swipe of a finger controls the throttle. Its horizontal tail rotor works with its two contra-rotating coaxial main rotors to keep the helicopter balanced during flight. Its rechargeable battery provides five-minute flight times from a 60-minute charge using the included USB charging cable. A sturdy metal fuselage, folding propellers and a rotor gyro tuned for flight stability make it an durable, lightweight and precise flying machine!
