From the makers of the Mosquito comes the Vamp, a scary-looking bat robot with an ugly carapace that can fly around inside and outside. It should be available now and costs about $40.

Compacted into a 12” wingspan, the i-Fly VAMP™ is the world’s smallest R/C ornithopter, all
the while maintaining pure flying control in both indoor and outdoor settings. Using a built-in
lithium polymer battery, a simple 20-30 minute charge allows the i-Fly VAMP™ a soaring
flight time of more then 10 minutes.
