Another foam-boadied wreck. This one has a built-in motor which is charged by an external battery pack. The charge lasts for 20-30 seconds, which is enough for a kickass flight.

This is a kickass kite shaped like an F-16 fighter. The damn thing flies pretty straight, it is the coolest kite I have seen in ages.
