Like X-plane - Remote Control Spy Plane? Link to it!

Lots of readers like to link to items on Pointless but cool on their sites, blogs and on their favourite forums - so we've made it as easy as possible. Just click a link below to view options in a new window.


X-plane - Remote Control Spy Plane

Remote controlled planes are cool, but let's face it hold limited appeal for those blessed with nano-second attention spans like the Pointless team.

However, bolt on a digital camera and suddenly you have your own remotely operated spy plane: The perfect remedy for our A.D.D!

Suddenly a few loops of the car park are transformed into a sophisticated recon mission and a short flight on the beach is transformed into remote bikini appraisal - who could ever get bored of this???

The plane itself is light and easy to pilot with the included "four-channel digital proportional control" (whatever that is). The control also gives you access to the X-plane's impressive extra features.

As well as a digital camera the X-plane also comes equipped with it's own minature spy plane, capsule bomb and paratrooper - all of which can be released remotely via the controls.

The package also includes a charger and car adapter to minimise turn around between missions.

"Why is it pointless?"

Sorry - but it isn't pointless at all. Every one needs an X-plane. They should be issued at birth.

"Why is it cool?"

It's an R/C plane... It's a surveilance device... It's a remote delivery system... It's fantastic fun... and it is possibly my dream toy!
