Tech Digest: For many of us, realising man’s dream of flight extends only as far as miniature bags of peanuts and complementary booze, but at lest there are a wide variety of gadgets that will bring the joy of soaring the heavens safely to the living room. We have already seen the outlandish X-UFO and now, for the more traditional would-be pilot, the Sky Soldier Airplane has been unleashed. The plane is made from flexible, hard wearing plastic to defend against its inevitable conflict with the side of a building and it can cruise away to a distance of 200ft.
Only weighing in at 66g means that the Sky Soldier doesn’t have a detachable power source, instead you have to recharge it from the remote control containing 6 x AA batteries. Each recharge provides around eight minutes of flight which is a little limited, but made up for by the quick recharge action. This gadget is probably best suited for people who are lucky enough to have access to a large indoor area such as a hanger, barn or public library and at £34.99 it seems like a bargain. Sky Soldier Airplane is available now from Gadgeter.
