Helo TC: iPhone And iPad Cotrolled Helicopter By Griffin

We’re no strangers to indoor helicopters, but beyond our challenges in keeping them off the ceiling, we’re not big fans of their typically chintzy controllers. The Griffin Helo TC ($50; Available this Fall) overcomes this limitation by bundling a headphone port-connecting infrared module with the metal and polycarbonate ‘copter, letting you use your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad as the controller — using on-screen or Tilt-to-Fly controls — running for up to 6 to 8 minutes per charge with the ability to charge from any USB power source, and saving up to three flight plans in memory.
