    Saw this demo'ed at the Toys R Us in Time Square. It's actually pretty cool, and big. It floats in the air and looks like it's actually swimming in the air...

    Keep in mind that there a a true "Radio Controlled" version and an infrared controlled version that is sometimes misleadingly called radio controlled or R/C too. The former costs more, transmits further, doesn't require line of sight and will work in bright sunlight indoors or out.

    I was under the impression the true R/C version has "extreme" in the title so I suspect this is the infrared version. Not that you "need" the R/C version if you're always using it in a typical indoor environment, I just wanted to clarify this difference.

    I think a school of flying radio controlled Piranhas would be more exciting.

    Would you have to have a helium tank?

    Can you hook up a camera to it and fly it into a friendly women's locker room?

    ^ yes you're going to need helium or hydrogen in a mildly pressurized form to get enough lift. Use of a camera would depend on what it weighs, these have a blob of clay you put in as a ballast so there is a little margin by not putting the clay in or as much in, but not a lot.
