I myself wanted one of those remote controlled air planes. I thought that's the coolest thing ever. Once I grew up and had the money, I never bought it.

They must be lot less bulky now right? When I was a kid they were these heavy steel boxes that got quite hot because they used an incandescent bulb.

I had a plastic one but it was still an incandescent bulb and a black paper that absorbed all the heat.
