Space Coaster Marble Run

Are you the type of person that can construct an Ikea desk without looking at the instructions or are you the type of person that calls in help from your dad? It’s an important question to ask yourself before opening the box to the Space Coaster Marble Run because depending on your answer, it’s going to take you either 20 minutes or 2 hours to construct. So after donning your Bob The Builder hat and somewhat rewardingly figuring out how to put it together, the fun really starts.

Syma S107 Remote Control Helicopter

The Syma S107 comes complete with built in gyroscope (ooohh, fancy) which puts an end the endless spinning witnessed by many RC Helicopters. We didn’t know what a gyroscope was either, but Google tells us it’s is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, which means we’re still actually none the wiser. What we do know is that a gyroscope combined with a RC helicopter is a perfect combination, delivering possibly the single most stabilized, easily manoeuvrable flight we’ve enjoyed in a long time.
