So you've treated yourself to a cool remote control helicopter, and it didn't even cost that much because Gadget Inspector were having a massive sale. Awesome! Now, what are you going to do with it?

Here are five fun ways to test your skills as an RC helicopter pilot. Please note that Gadget Inspector will not be held responsible for any damage caused while attempting these challenges!

Challenge #1: Thru the Window

Open your ground floor window and your first floor window. Place your chopper on the ground floor windowsill. Standing in front of the house, attempt to fly the helicopter out of the lower window, up the face of the house, and in through the top window. Alternatively, ask the people opposite you to open their bedroom window and fly your helicopter across the street!

Challenge #2: Treetop Slalom

Find a good tree with a lots of criss-crossing branches. Fly your copter up through the branches and attempt to reach the top of the tree without bumping into any bark!

Challenge #3: Over the Water

Go to a lake or, failing that, run a bath. Fly your helicopter over the water, and see how close you can get to the surface without falling in! Can you skim your chopper across the water?

Challenge #4: Cargo Drop

This one is specifically for the Bladez Transporter. See, the transporter has an adjustable winch that can be raised and lowered in-flight. It also comes with a cargo basket - to complete this challenge, you must successfully pick up the basket using the winch, carry it across the room, and safely deliver your cargo without dropping it.

Challenge #5: The Floor is Made of Lava

Clear a space in your living room. Dot some cushions around the floor (or anything that could serve as a 'landing pad'). The floor is now made of lava - you must successfully pilot your helicopter from one side of the room to the other, landing on each cushion in turn without ever touching the floor itself.

Here's what you need...a wall-mounted bottle opener!

We've all been there: you're at somebody's house, enjoying some good company, and you decide to crack open a beer.

"Anybody got a bottle opener?" Your simple request is met by naught but silence, until the host eventually says something vague like, "Oh, I think there's one in the drawer. I'll go and have a look."

With that, they leave the room, and you don't see them again for the rest of the night. No bottle opener ever materialises, and your thirst goes unquenched for the remainder of the evening.

If only every house had a wall-mounted bottle opener! That search for the (possibly non-existant) opener or corkscrew would never have to happen - everybody would know the location of their own bottle opener, and that location would never change.

Obviously, we've no way of forcing everyone to install a bottle-opening station in their home, but you can start today. Add a wall-mounted bottle opener to your living room today, and encourage your friends to do the same!

Fridays are usually a cause for celebration, but parents across England and Wales are seriously dreading the next one. In case you didn't know, Friday the 18th of July is the day on which summer term ends in the majority of UK schools, and while teachers will no doubt be preparing to breathe a massive sigh of relief, parents will be preparing for six weeks of unmitigated hard work. After all, the kids will need to be entertained while they wait for school to start again!

Fortunately, the Gadget Inspector team are here to help you through the summer. Here are 8 awesome activities that you and the kids can try over the next few weeks - it'll be September in no time!

1. RC helicopter races!

RC toys were made for summertime. Playing with one of our cool remote control helicopters will get them outdoors for some fresh air, and since many of our choppers operate on a tri-band frequency, up to 3 of them can be flown at once!

2. Take a hike!

They may take some convincing, but once they're out in the big wide world, the kids are sure to have a blast! Do a bit of internet research and you're sure to find some truly breathtaking scenery near you.

3. Fun with ice!

Ice is an endless source of summer fun - children can make their own ice lollies, or cool off with some awesome shark-shaped ice cubes!

4. Rainy day puzzles!

This is Britain, after all - we can't expect every day to be dry and sunny! When the rain starts a-pourin', keep their young minds occupied with one of our awesome puzzle games.

5. Stomp rocket!

And when it is warm and they can go outside, stomp rockets are the ultimate excuse to do so! Stomp on the launchpad and see how high your rocket can fly (don't forget your spare rockets!)

6. Bring back the dinosaurs!

If the kids are feeling sort of crafty, why not let them make their own dinosaur? Our dinosaur construction kits contain two dinosaurs apiece.

7. Space rail!

The Space Rail is a new generation of toy - we're not even going to try describing it! You'll just have to see for yourself.

8. Chillax in the garden!

And, if all else fails, the kids can always just go out into the garden and chill out for a bit. We recommend the Chill Out Wedge for super-comfortable outdoor relaxation!

Once you go red, you'll wish you were dead.

Is there any sight more feared in the modern world?

1) iPhones choose the worst moments to die.

In the middle of an important conversation? On the brink of conquering that one really difficult level on Two Dots? Halfway through a juicy text to your BFF? Not any more - your battery just ran out!

2) You can never find your charger when you need it...

"Okay, it's not in that drawer either...maybe I left it in work?"

3) ...and if you do find it, you'll have to untangle it from a mass of other cables.

Remember: frustrated tugging just makes it worse.

4) Untangled your charger? Well done! But there are no spare plug sockets - what will you unplug to make room?

"Okay...I can't unplug the internet, or the phone...I'm gonna watch TV while my phone charges, so that needs to stay...I could unplug the toaster, but what if I suddenly start craving Pop Tarts?"

5) Once you've plugged your phone in, you have to wait a few minutes for it to turn on again.

And it feels like an eternity.

6) And that's when it starts - that horrible sense of existential hopelessness that sets in when you can't use your phone.

*muffled sobbing*

7) Even when your phone does come back to life, you have to sit right next to the outlet if you want to use it.

You might as well be cuffed to the radiator. This is the 21st century, dammit - why can't Apple give us a cable that's longer than a few inches?!

8) Of course, you could unplug it...but if you do that, you'll be out of battery again within a few minutes.

And then you'll be right back to square one.

9) Having gone a short while without your iPhone, you'll now have ten billion notifications to wade through...

And you'll have no peace of mind until you've read every. Single. One.

10) ...or, worse still, you'll have zero notifications to wade through.

And you'll wonder why you even bother.
