The ultimate in-house helicopter. . .

A Norwegian engineer, obviously with too much time on his hands due to the long, long winters. . .has invented the Picoflyer http://www.popsci.com/popsci/how20/9a69d3cb3c82a010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html , a radio-controlled, micro helicopter you can fly around inside your house. . .

And in the process he's create a self-stabilizing helicopter design that has rocked the aeronautic industry on it's ear.

To stay pointed in one direction, the Picoflyer, uses two sets of counter-rotating rotors. But to keep from pitching or rolling out of control, it relies on a system that adds no extra parts or weight. If the it starts to tilt, the ringed rotors naturally tilt in the other direction, bringing the bird back to level.

I say, bravo, and. . .I want one!
