14 DAY TRIAL // Even if some people might happen to like all sorts of freaky insects and would actually think that cockroaches are funny and cute, the rest of us would state the contrary and do our best to keep them as far away from us as possible. Yet, this does not mean that one can't have some serious fun with a cockroach-themed gadget. Scaring your friends and visitors might be simply great, especially if they would taste a good prank. Therefore, you should definitely get your hands on the RC Flying Cockroach, one of the best toys in its range.
If you think that people will not react as you would expect when seeing this contraption drawing near, think again – should you happen to make this joke on someone who is very afraid of roaches, it's most unlikely that he/she (especially she) would stay put and analyze the fact that common cockroaches do not really fly.
The effect will be instantaneous, and you'll be in for some serious shrieks and shouting, maybe some tears even. Nevertheless, if you plan to use the RC Flying Cockroach with your girlfriend, you could consider sleeping in the other room for a while. This flying machine (it is completely dead and safe) is made entirely from thin plastic, and comes with very impressive dimensions, at least when compared with a healthy, adult cockroach – you'll actually fly a 145x87x90mm gadget through your room.
Moreover, with its realistic design (save for the two rotors on its back) your victims' pulse will surely rise instantaneously to very high levels. The RC Flying Cockroach is controllable by using an infrared remote unit powered by 6 AA batteries. Inside the insect you get a small battery that moves the rotor blades and needs recharging every few minutes. The device is a parasite on the energy side, as real cockroaches are in the real life – 30 minutes of recharging will offer you only 4 minutes of flying, so you'd better make good scary plans.
If some frightened victim gains enough courage to attack and smite your RC Flying Cockroach, it's most likely that you won't be able to mend its brittle construction again. And this means spending another $70, if you liked it.
