Bite-Sized Tomy QFO RC Flyers Command The Skies Of A Very Small Universe
Posted by Adrian Covert at 12:00 PM on September 12, 2008
I like things that fly, especially when they're the size of a golf ball. Tomy's OFO RC toys are part of the Japanese Q series of all things minuscule, and are propelled by a rotor on its underside. The QFO will be available in Japan this month for about US$40, but more importantly, I keep thinking of how awesome it would be if 20 of these took to the sky at once in a public space. Check out the video below. [Akihabara via Oh Gizmo via Dvice]

He just sounds really stupid. Like, every sentence should begin with "Duhh,".
Awesome toy, though!

Oh wow I want one.
Put the UFO cover on it, harass the potheads next door.

@LittleJon: Well that depends on who you are going up and down with, I suppose!

Is this the same as the Microfly from Alien Air, just w/different branding?

And by 20, you actually meant 20 *thousand*. Now that would be great.

Did they say infrared? So you can't let it get out of line of sight, or line of infrared beam bounce, or you'll lose control. Probably not a big deal, it's just a little toy.

Hmmmm, bunch of 'em on the same frequency, classic spring removal mod on the controller.
Lift em all and set for a good hover, let air currents do the rest!
A big gym or an auditorium would be great for a large mass of 'em.

@Barcard: Yeah that does complicate things, doesn't it.
Okay so I'll still take one or two of 'em. :)
