Remote controlled small aircraft suitable for indoor use are now readily available from a number of manufacturers - often virtually "Ready to Fly" (RTF).
They range from small fliers intended basically as children's toys and using infra-red line-of-site control systems to fully fledged 2.4GHz radio control systems featuring aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle control as well as a variety of miniature helicopters and multi-rotor craft of significant sophistication including on-board computer stabilisation systems.

Choices include scratch built models, conversions of mass produced rubber powered models, to ready to fly "out of the box" miniature helicopters. Some have sophisticated microprocessor stabilisation built in.
Below: the inexpensive Kyosho "Autokite" a ready-to-fly RC micro electric indoor aircraft. It flies slowly, is easy to see, and is well suited to the beginner indoor pilot.
