I'm impressed by the Bat's ability to fly slow (and it looks like it can hover). Reminds me of hummingbird flight. Could you post a video of it flying fast & at full throttle?

Working now. Very cool flying. Should be much easier to fly indoors than the DF. I'll have to keep an eye out for one of these.

It is much easier to fly indoors than the DF.  With just a little practice, you can get it to move forward very slowly, but it doesn't truly "hover," as it's always moving forward just a little bit.  It always wants to turn to the right to get the "circling" effect, but this can be slowed by feathering the speed control.  I've also found that it seems to perform best after about a minute of flight or so - it has just enough power to swoop up and down, but not so much that it can't fly slowly.

To really get the most out of the experience, it takes constant adjustment of the throttle, but it's so much fun.  Definitely a laid back flyer, too.

Should be coming out soon, we'll have the news when it's released, and it's expected to cost $34.99.

It should also be available in the Dragon flavor, pretty cool :)
