Carbon Butterfly RC Plane

My brother sent me a link to a cool RC Plane that weighs only 3.6 grams!. The Carbon Butterfly by Plantraco is a fully controllable RC plane that you can fly in a room no bigger than 12' x 16'.

The kit, which comes with the plane, transmitter, PC connector cable and CD ROM, as well as a cool aluminium carry case to cart it around safely. The CD ROM has a simulator that you can hook the transmitter up to (using the cable) to get some practice in before you attempt to fly this $300 toy around. Although apparently its rather tough:

Sporting a rugged yet elegant Carbon Fiber frame, the Carbon Butterfly is nearly indestructible. As flexible as fiberglass and strong as steel, the Carbon Butterfly can bounce back from almost anything you can throw it at.

There is a short video on You Tube of the Carbon Butterfly being flown around someones living room:

And there is also photo gallery at Gizmodo .
