The Mongoose takes six batteries; four for the Mongoose itself and two for the remote control. It will be available in late September, in time for the release of Halo 3: ODST, for 24.99.

The AV-14 Attack VTOL Hornet is an indoor flying helicopter, lifted by a pair of gyroscopic propellers. It features stability and precision speed control.
