A propeller related vehicle in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is described as a helicopter having an airframe housing a motor mechanism for powering a main propeller attached to a main drive shaft that extends vertically through the airframe and for powering a tail rotor. The helicopter further includes a horizontal stabilizing mechanism attached between the main propeller and the main drive shaft, which permits the main propeller to freely pivot about the main drive shaft independently from the airframe. As such when the main propeller is rotating and the main propeller begins to pitch, the rotating main propeller has a centrifugal force created by the rotation thereof and will tend to pivot about the horizontal stabilizing mechanism in a manner that offsets the pitch such that the helicopter remains in a substantially horizontal position. In addition various main propeller configurations may be employed that provide additional self-stabilization.

A toy airplane assembly is provided that is easy to fly, inexpensive, and durable. The toy plane assembly includes a plane having a radio receiver and a microprocessor. Batteries housed in the fuselage power the printed circuit board to which the microprocessor and radio receiver are attached. The radio receiver receives signals from a hand-held remote control radio transmitter and are transmitted to the microprocessor. The microprocessor decodes the signals and, in response thereto, distributes power to the motors for driving the propellers. All movement of the plane is controlled by the microprocessor, thereby providing microprocessor assisted flight. The plane fuselage is a one-piece molded part, made of a foam material to provide a durable plane.

A yo-yo includes an outer ring, a support arm extending inwardly from the outer ring and a disc supported within the outer ring by the support arm. In addition, a region on the outer ring adjacent the support arm is thinner then another region on the outer ring opposite the support arm to compensate for any additional weight defined by the support arm. Furthermore, the outer ring is defined as having a cavity and the disc has an overall shape smaller then the cavity such that the disc appears to be suspended within the outer ring.

A toy bicycle that is a scale model including frame, seat, handlebar, front and rear wheel assemblies and front and rear suspension systems comparable to a full-sized bicycle. The bicycle may also include various rear and front brakes such that the user may apply a downward force to either the front or rear end of the bicycle and stop the turning of the respective wheel. There are also included various finger-operated attachments that permit the user to more readily and easily control the toy bicycle with one or more fingers.
