Post a comment (and only one) for a chance to win this Swann RC helicopter. Swann

While Swann is known for its security cameras, the company recently entered the RC helicopter arena, and to kick off the launch of its new line, it's offering up this Emergency Strike model to one lucky winner here on Crave.

Here's what Swann has to say about the Emergency Strike:

This Swann Emergency Strike remote-controlled helicopter is a miniature version of the choppers you see at search and rescue operations around the world. Put yourself in the picture and save the day with this mini, fully functional version of the real thing. Equipped with the latest Gyroscope technology and multi-directional infra-red remote control, you can fly up, down, backwards, forwards, and sideways with ease. Powered by a built-in rechargeable Lithium battery, simply plug the charging lead into the infrared controller for 50-60 minutes to have at least 8 minutes indoor flying time.

Normally, the Swann Emergency Strike RC helicopter costs $60, but you have a chance to get one gratis. So, how do you try to win this RC helicopter? Let me enumerate the basic rules. Please read them carefully; there will be a test.
