I won one at an Oracle conference one year. Scares the hell out of the dog.

I want one of those Parrot drone things, but they're a bit more pricey.

I have a Blade mSR, its a single Bell-Hiller rotor and a step up from the coaxial choppers which are piss easy to fly by comparison.
Setup properly it will hover 'hands off' and it will fly outdoors in very calm conditions, I can get a few minutes doing forward flight figure 8's before it all so inevitably goes wrong, usually caused by overconfident fast acceleration mixed with 'nose in' disorientation. I'm convinced a real helicopter would be easier to fly.
Very good for the money and surprisingly robust considering I've crashed it maybe 100 times now.

I've one of those teeny-tiny ones and it's actually quite good but a normal sized room is a bit small IMO. Took it to church one week to fly it around the main hall, that was much more fun.

I have an small infra red one, and a small RC one. I was looking at the bigger RC ones that can fly outside, they aren't expensive but they are slightly dangerous, you certainly wouldn't give one to a young kid.
I do quite fancy one of these though:

Just found mine after a tidy up and am charging it up as we speak. The chinook needs 6 AAs so will need to wait for another day.
In our old house the dining room and living room were knocked throug so you had a great range. I got so good at flying the things I could circle SY02s head repeatedly while she was ironing. She got fed up once and snatched it out of the air and threatened to stuff it somewhere. I fell about laughing and called her King Kong.
Such fun
