Just what you always wanted...

This is probably one of the most bizarre remote controlled gadgets you are ever likely to come across! Why anyone in their right mind would want to own an RC housefly is quite beyond me. That said, I don’t doubt that the scope for comedy moments (landing it on Aunt Agnus’s slice of fruit cake just as she’s about to tuck in, for example) will appeal to many.


The RC Housefly uses the same co-axle rotor system as the Picoo Z to ensure that the craft is not only relatively stable in flight but that, thanks to the lack of torque, its also far easier to control than single rotor helicopters. This device comes without a tail rotor (I mean, when was the last time you saw a housefly with a rotor blades and a tail rotor?).

The Remote Controlled Housefly has been designed primarily for indoor use and will, if it’s anything like the Picoo Z, take more than its fair share of knocks as it bounces off walls and Aunt Agnus’s fruit cake (which is no small feat as her fruit is known to be second only to titanium in terms of its density).

Available in two equally unconvincing colour schemes, this RC bug will fly for up to six minutes on a single full, thirty minute charge courtesy of it’s remote handset which also serves as a recharging station and is sure to be a hit with children should you ever allow them a look in.

If your life feels incomplete without you having tried at least once to land a housefly on your partner’s head then you’ll be glad to know that the Remote Controlled Housefly retails for a mere ¥3312 – which is approximately $28 at the time of writing.

Did you know... The average airspeed of the common housefly is 4 1/2 mph. A housefly beats its wings about 20,000 times per minute.

Add your pet hates or things that annoy you most...

Don't you just hate it when you bite into that delicious looking burger, only to find the beetroot and tomato that they put in it has soaked right through into the bun and made it all soggy? Well I do. I've found a few things online and made up a few things of my own that I've listed below.

Stephen Garton is my hero...

Saturday, June 21, 2008

I decided I felt a bit weird making a blog site about Jesse Kelly being my hero, so felt it was time to let the world know about the genius in our family. I have no idea where he inherited his incredible sense of humour from (it's so different to any of ours) but it definitely needs to be advertised I think. Below is just a few of the reasons why I love my brother...
