Abstract: An integrated remote control and storage housing is herein described. The housing is for controlling and storing a remote control toy flying object such as a helicopter. The housing comprises a body, the body having controls on an exterior face. The controls are for at least controlling the directional motion of a toy flying object. Additionally, the body includes an interior compartment being for stowing the toy flying object when not in use, and a power supply providing power for the remote control and optionally for charging a miniature remote controlled toy flying object. The housing optionally permits a first toy flying object to charge while operating a second toy flying object.

Abstract: A helicopter includes a system to effect motion in a horizontal dimension thereby to direct the desired direction. The rotor blades are driven by a rotor shaft and which is hinge mounted on this rotor shaft, such that the angle between the plane of rotation of the main rotor and the rotor shaft may vary. A control for moving the angle of incidence of at least one blade of the rotor cyclically along at least part of a 360-degree rotation path around the rotor shaft. This causes a variation in a lift force of the blade along at least part of the rotations path. This causes the body to be urged in a relatively horizontal direction from a relative position of rest. The control includes an actuator for engaging with an assembly depending from the rotor, the inter-engagement of the actuator and assembly effecting a change in the angle of incidence of at least the one blade of the rotor. The system includes a rotor, preferably complemented with a stabilizer rotor.
