Included in the app is a guide showing you how to fly and control the bird, as well as the numerous ways to control and fly the bird such as holding your device with one hand and tilting the phone or like a steering wheel and holding the smartphone sideways and control it like a wheel.

We loved it here at How To Kill An Hour, even if we had a bit of trouble flying it at first we soon got to grips with it and killed an hour with it! We even had to prize it away from Marcus’ hands at one point!

Ever had that clumsy friend or driver that’s always falling into things? Well now there’s a solution! Only catch is they haven’t developed the same technology for use on humans. So we got to wait. Seriously though a drone has been developed that is crash proof!

Its made by “Flyability” a Swiss company, and they’ve developed a drone that will remain stable even after you’ve crashed it into a wall. Its got a cage that sits around the drone and they call it Gimball, its so smart it will use the collisions to help find its way around by the use of algorithms. I wonder if thats what drunk people use when they’re crashing into walls and parked cars – to find their way home. 

Now only if I could enter this drone into the racing league we spoke about before……
