This just intrigued me.
Miniaturisation intrigues me, always has. Maybe I'm big enough to be more amazed than most at small things. What they've done here, is to build a helicopter that's smaller than a hamster. A full, working helicopter with 4-channel radio control. It weighs just 6.9 grams - and flies beautifully indoors.
What an amazing toy. Click HERE if you want to go to the site and see it fly.
What would amaze me more would be a fully working helicopter that could fit and be flown by a hampster! then maybe I am just being stupid?

Hamsters are not too bright, a gerbil possibly

I think what you've actually got there is a picture of an ordinary helicopter and a genetically modified hamster that is over 20ft tall and weighs approx 3 tons. It's still a remarkable story though.
