Remote controlled Chinook inbound

More than just blasting things out of the sky

What do you get the remote control helicopter fan that's bored of all the usual remote controlled helicopters?

A remote controlled Chinook of course.

That's the plan from games and toy maker Spin Master who are to release an R/C Chinook later in the summer for helicopter fans looking for something a bit more.

The R/C Cargo Commander, as it will be known, carries cargo in flight and releases on command - have fun hitting the target with your ‘behind enemy lines’ air drops.

The helicopter includes controller and three pieces of cargo – a container, rescue boat and jeep.

Those looking for something a bit more edgy will want to check out the Sharp Shooter Helicopter that has tail lock technology for easy to control flight and 4 way control for precision indoor flying. It will also be able to launch six plastic missiles independently at the three targets supplied, unfortunately it was too quick for us to snap a picture.
