missiles. Constructed from helium-filled metalised nylon membrane and powered by Triple Motor
Jet Thrusters, you can make the Bomber perform amazing 360-degree spins, and send it hovering
and travelling in four directions! A whopping 3 feet wide, watching this in flight makes
a truly spooky spectacle.
The fun factor goes through the roof with the Blimp Bomber. Terrorise your office
with an aerial attack. Declare war on your granny's garden gnomes. Play a space-age version
of Tin Can Alley.

The Solar Airship is an incredible 8 metres long and looks remarkably like a giant burnt
sausage. In fact, it looks just plain remarkable.
But if you're thinking, '8 metres long? I get out of puff blowing up a balloon!' don't
panic. The Solar Airship needs no blowing or pumping up, because, as it's name suggests,
it is 100% solar powered. All it needs is reasonable sunshine, and you can go from box to
sky in as little as two minutes!
The airship is constructed from a high-density, lightweight matt black film. All
you need to do is hold open the tube and walk along with it quickly, allowing it to fill
with air. The film absorbs the heat and, because hot air rises, the ship rises too! It works
on similar principles to a hot air balloon, only using natural heat instead of gas.
It can fly up to about 30,000 feet on a reasonable day! Watch people stare with
amazement as you guide your giant burnt sausage through the sky!

Don't be fooled by cheap imitations - this is the genuine article.
The amazing Sky Patrol R/C helicopter is ready to fly in just three minutes - and now includes a FREE rechargeable battery!
The Sky Patrol is so easy to fly that you'll be an Airwolf style expert within minutes! And when we say within minutes, we mean
it literally. That's because it charges up in the incredible, lightning-quick time of three minutes! Do not adjust your screen: we
said three MINUTES, not three hours or three days. You'll be playing with this you'll be
flying this kick-ass machine almost as soon as it's out of the box, unlike with some R/C toys.
Not only that, there's no need to buy piles of batteries for the charger either. The new
version of the Sky Patrol comes with a free rechargeable battery. Already an amazing price, the
Sky Patrol is now even better value.
Mastering flight of the Sky Patrol makes falling off the proverbial log look pretty darn difficult. The
charging station doubles up as a launch pad. All you have to do is get the throttle on the
handset going, and your flight begins within milliseconds. To manoeuvre, simply ease off on
the throttle to slow it down, and the torque of the tail rotor turns it for you.

The Symphony 2.2 dual line soft foil power kite measures a massive 2.25 metres across and
0.75m in height, yet can fit into a compact, portable nylon carry case.
The Symphony is a fantastic introduction to the world of power kiting. Constructed to
state of the art standards from carefully selected materials, this is no namby-pamby kids
toy - it's fast and powerful, with a strong pull and quick response, and in the right winds,
it can go at speeds that'll have you doing a Mary Poppins if you don't hold on tight - up to
100km/h!
Foil kites are getting more and more popular these days as they fly easily, yet provide
a challenge thanks to their speed and pull, and are also easy to compress and pack into a small
space, making them ideal to take on holiday or trips to the beach.
Skill Level : Intermediate to expert, not recommended for anyone under 12 years of age.
