We recently had the chance to review a remote control helicopter from MyWebRC.com, the Iron-Eagle.
About the Iron-Eagle Helicopter:
"The recently launched My Web RC Iron-Eagle Helicopter, by Groovy Toys (dba Grooyi), is a radio-control toy with an online/web component. It is designed to allow children to play in two "worlds;" they can play with the rc toy and also with a virtual replica of their exact toy online. This combination of an online-game experience and radio-control toy has never been done before and Groovy Toys is happy to bring it to market.

What we thought: B and the kids had a ton of fun with the Iron-Eagle helicopter. The kiddos were a little too young to stay engaged with the computer simulation for too long, but B loved it and it would be perfect for teen boys(or even adults:) The website was easy to navigate and the quality of the game was pretty good. The actual RC toy was a huge hit. 4 year old A even learned how to fly the helicopter by herself and 2 year old D did pretty well with a little help. B and the kids even got brave enough to fly the sturdy little helicopter outside which led to several trips to the roof...I don't recommend flying it on a windy day until you are a little more skilled:) The Iron-Eagle worked really great indoors. I was a little worried at first because it seemed so fragile, but it is amazingly resilient! I loved how fast it could charge hooked up to the USB on the computer. If you have an RC lover or a computer game fan on your gift list, we definitely suggest checking out MyWebRC.com and the Iron-Eagle Helicopter! ABCD Diaries gives them both an A+!
