Helo TC Ass ault No rush to get to this chopper

- £25 Griffin Technology, griffintec­hnology.com

1 An iPhone-controlled helicopter, capable of firing a pair of missiles – sounds great, right? Well, if we’re honest, our testing model didn’t make it off the ground. The best we managed was a stationary chopper, rotor blades whirring… periodical­ly bashing into one another and disrupting their own momentum. Adding insult to injury, this doesn’t even run on smartphone alone – you need to plug in a separate, battery-powered controller in order to operate it (we’ve had one of these working in the past, but it’s hard to control, too).
