I am not an expert but I was looking the Hammacher Schlemmer site and they sell great products that they stand behind.....they offer a number of remote control toys including helicopters

	Dueling Galactic Marines Copter Set
	Battle it out Laser Tag style with this set of two space themed helicopters. These are the easiest to fly dueling copters we have seen. Yep... two copters for $19.99 is unheard of.
	Micro R/C 4-Channel Flying Saucer
	If you're looking for the smallest most sophisticated R/C flying vehicle around then your wait is over. This Mini 4-propeller flying saucer features a built in accelerometer for automatic balance and 4-channel control.
	MicroFly Tiny R/C Hovering UFO
	With a diameter not much larger than a silver dollar and a single propeller on the bottom, the MicroFly somehow manages to hover in the air as it spins and flashes its blue LED. This is the smallest R/C flying toy ever made.
	Cyber Surfer R/C Spaceboard
	The Cyber Surfer R/C Spaceboard uses two ducted fans and a solid state accelerometer to hover off the ground and "surf" across the room. One of the most unique R/C helicopter toys available
	Tandem Z Chinook 3-Channel R/C Copter
	With two rotors arranged front and rear in a military style the Tandem Z looks unlike any other small R/C copter we've seen. Very unique flying mechanics for your geek pleasure. Official Silverlit Product!
	MX-1 World's Smallest R/C Copter
	We thought we had seen small RC helicopters until we were flabbergasted by a copter so tiny it actually fits inside its own remote. The MX-1 is a sharp looking little copter and it has a redesigned remote with smooth slider like controls. Official Silverlit Product!

Thanks, that’s very informative. Some VERY cool stuff that I haven’t seen in stores around here!

Thanks again to everyone!

Yep. You know whats odd, I just noticed it was the USS Independence, CV 62.

I served aboard her in 1981. I actually have the cruise book from 1980-1981 sitting here next to my desk.
