Wow Wee!, manufacturer of the Robosapien, are about to roll out the Dragonfly toy that is as big as the size of your palm and meant for indoor use only, as the typical outdoor breeze will be too strong for such a tiny device such as this. This remote-controlled insect toy is constructed from crash-resisntant material and flies very much like how an actual dragonfly would - by flapping its wings vigorously with the help of a small tail rotor for stabilization purposes. There are a couple of flying modes to choose from - Beginner and Expert, which we assume the latter has more manual controls. There is currently no word on pricing or availability, but you can check out the preliminary manual here.
