			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WowWee&#8217;s new FlyTech Bladestar is a crazy looking flying machine which lifts itself using a helicopter-like spinning rotor, hovering through your living room with ease.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2678" title="flytech_bladestar" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/flytech_bladestar.jpg" alt="Flytech Bladestar by WowWee" width="520" height="320" /></p>
<p>But the real cool factor is a special autopilot mode which lets the Bladestar atuomatically avoid ceilings and other obstacles. Heck, you can even steer it by waving your hands in front of it. If you&#8217;d rather have more precise control over your flyer, just use the included digital IR remote control.</p>
<p>Thanks to the multi-channel remote system, you can even fly two Bladestars at the same time and take down your friend in Dogfight mode. It&#8217;s all made from a durable crash-resistant materials, and safe to fly indoors.</p>

<p>The spinning blade design sort of reminds me of those annoying <a href="http://www.hl2world.com/wiki/index.php/Manhack">Manhacks</a> from Half-Life 2. Unfortunately, these ones don&#8217;t have deadly metal saw blades mounted on them. Oh well.</p>
<p>Still, they do look pretty cool even if they won&#8217;t decapitate your enemies. You can get your hands on the Flytech Bladestar over on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB0013UO6S8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Amazon</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> for just under $50 bucks.</p>
