Hoss, the Wonder Dog... as in "I wonder how much he weighs?" (160lbs) "I
wonder how much he eats?" (More than you can imagine.) "I wonder what his
towing capacity is?" (Better than any Ford.), got sick of trying to sniff it
as it hovered nearby. The prop would whack him in the nose and piss him off.
Finally, he managed to bring it down with a furious chomp...,yet it still
flies.

There's lots of information about all the rip-offs, and I wouldn't get one 
of those for my own reasons.  "Havoc" is the name of the company that bought

the rights and manufactures under license to the inventor.  This is the 
brand you'll find at Target and Costco.  I'm not sure which other retailers 
carry the good ones.  AVOID the knockoffs, innumerable postings about QC 
problems.
My wife doesn't like the sound in the house, [so I use the bugeye's rear 
deck as a landing platform] and fly it around the garage trying to miss all 
the radio antennas and avoid getting cobwebs in the tail rotor.
