Turn your LEGO® characters into pilots with this DIY drone kit

Who said LEGO(R) had to be ground bound? With The Force Flyers DIY Building Block Fly 'n Drive Drone, you can turn LEGO(R) and other building-block creations into fully-functional flying machines. It's available now in the Boing Boing Store for $39.99.

This kit comes with everything you need for remote-controlled long distance flight, including a 6-axis gyroscope, a 2.4 GHz wireless transmitter, and extra rotors for when you inevitably crash.
