Air Hogs!
Get the APACHE AH-64 model, so he can rocket the neighbors cat.
Try thinkgeek.com.
They have some cool stuff.
Radio controlled cars are much better
Merry Christmas,
I bought one for my kids two years ago. I actually bought two, but being the AH pilot that I am, I decided to teach my kids how to fly it before I learned myself. So after some tears and a little sweeping up of the patio, I put what was left of it back in the box and didn’t touch the other one for a couple of months.
I managed to to fly the thing and had fun with it. It was too hard for my 10 year old though. It is sitting home in the garage and I will look at the name on it as soon as I get there and email you it.
It wasn’t that expensive and the battery really lasted for a while.

Bought both the helicopter and the airhog plane for my 8 year old son. Heli was very hard to fly, plane was pretty easy but loves to get in trees.
LOL......well things that might crash to the ground are very likely to ‘crash to the ground’.
Our son has had remote controlled cars for ages and always had great fun with them, as several of his friends had them too.
Remote controlled boats are fun too.
I want one to terrorize my cats with. Any experience with this, anyone?
Well our Walmart had some for around 25 bucks, but I cant tell ya how good they are,,,
One of the gals in my life watches QVC, and they have one or more of the helicopters on sale. Check out their website. I have no experience or knowledge about their quality.
I got a little chopper for $16 or so. It was good for practice in the house until I figured I could fly a more expensive helicopter.

This link is to a program to help you learn to fly a remote control on your computer. I thought I had a program that I had picked up from freeware, but I can’t find it right now.
Make sure that you get one that can take a crash. It also needs to be steerable. If you can find a play where someone is flying them to get attention at a mall or something, ask to take the controls...if he refuses it’s because the thing will get trashed quickly.
In my experience, the super cheap are bad and the super expensive are too breaky. There are some that auto level and are easy to fly.
