Gift Guide: Dark Blade Mini Remote Control Helicopter

Dark Blade 3-Channel R/C Helicopter (Gadget Head, Under $50)
A perennial winner for the holiday-gift satisfaction sweepstakes, remote control helicopters are the gift that says: "I know you're a textbook arrested development case, but everyone deserves to be happy -- so go fly your geek flag." Dark Blade's mini-chopper is a standout precisely because of its extreme mini-ness and excellent handling. The rear rotor is a bit of novelty in that it faces up and down rather than the traditional side to side, but it works wonderfully (unlike the faux side rotors -- those are just for style we presume) and even the uncoordinated noob will be pulling imaginary Lilliput air-lifts in minutes. You'll be hard-pressed to get this much enjoyment out of $30 anywhere else.
