Fine Gift Ideas

Boys do love their toys!  This radio controlled Bladerunner is delivered ready to fly, with no complex building or setting up making it an ideal Christmas gift. 

When you’ve hovered, soared, dived and completed your reconnaissance mission, you’ll want to refuel. And if you do crash, the Bladerunner RC helicopter’s tough body will usually enable it to recover from potentially lethal crashes in minutes compared to the more traditional RC helicopters that often fall at the first hurdle, destroying hours of your painstaking labour.
