Size isn't everything, we have to admit. But not even the most dedicatedly size-ist person among our team here in the lab at Gadgetshop HQ would fail to be impressed at the pack punched by the small but perfectly formed Microfighter.

It is a remotely controlled plane - in a compact package - able to fly at over 25 kilometres per hour, and perform perfect turns, banks and outrageous stunts in the process.

With advanced digital throttle and directional control, this twin-engined beast isn't for anyone (and certainly not small children or beginners)... but in the hands of an intermediate or expert it can achieve advanced take offs and landings with grace and ease, not to mention extended flying time of up to ten minutes on a single 30 minute charge of its lithium polymer batteries direct from the controller.

Ready to fly straight from the box, the plane weighs in at a stunningly light 18.5 grammes, making it all the more responsive to the power provided from its two rear-mounted engines. Advanced dual channel digital proportion control keeps it in the air, enabling up/down, left/right and forward speed control.

Now the gauntlet has been thrown down to owners of larger, more awesome beasts. Take the Micro challenge. And see if you're a fighter.
