Top Gun RC F-22 Raptor MicroFighter Aircraft (Move Over Picco Z)

Whilst we are great fans of the Picco Z micro RC helicopter we cannot
help but think that this Top Gun RC MicroFighter, which is also
constructed from PSP foam ensuring that, just like the Picco Z, it can
take more than its fair share of unintentional impacts, looks like it
could raise the bar considerably in terms of sheer unadulterated fun.

Though the product page refers to the 80's classic film Top Gun, this
Top Gun MicroFighter is not based on the film's F-14 Tomcats (alas
retired) but, rather, the F-22 Raptor, though, quite unlike the F-22,
this particular model sports two rear facing propellers serving to
provide the necessary means of propulsion.

Measuring in at 260(L) x 200(W) x 85(H) mm the Top Gun RC MicroFighter
comes complete with full throttle and directional control allowing it to
perform 'extreme loops and real-fighter style aerobatics' (and even, in
the right hands, tail slides ought to be feasible) and, thanks to the
considerable power to weigh ratio on offer, STOL (Short Take Off and
Landing) capabilities.

The Top Gun RC MicroFighter is powered by a Lithium-Polymer battery
offering around ten minutes of powered flight on a single 30 minutes
charge which, just like in the case of the Picco Z is provided directly
from the remote control (which requires 6 x AAA batteries).
