Silverlit Radio Control Picoo Z Helicopter



The PicooZ super miniature helicopter is the smallest remote control helicopter ever built with no complicated instructions to put together, just take it straight out of the box and it’s ready to fly! The mini flying machine weighs approximately 10g, is just six inches long and can be flown inside and outdoors (in calm conditions) with excellent mid-flight stability. The controls may take a little practice, but after a few minutes you'll be in command!

The workings and battery are both concealed inside the helicopter body giving maximum protection. It is constructed from a mixture of lightweight but tough materials, and will withstand numerous bumps and crashes!

Simply charge the battery for 20-30 minutes and you’ll have at least 10 minutes flying time. An absolute must for any up-and-coming young pilots!!

I bought a PicooZ for my son and very soon realised that I should have bought two, the other for me. I looks fragile however is very robust and flies well -despite having had the tail chewed by the cat. I eventually bought one for me which failed after a minute - the tail rotor motor stopped. After a few weeks delay I got a replacement from Amazon and it was well worth the wait. The PicooZ is simply great fun and it takes a little practice and many crashes to get the hang of it. Fully charged you will get 5 to 6 minutes flying time and now I need a bigger house as I have now explored every aspect of our living room. Buy one, you won't be disappointed.

Some quick advice to people that have given this excellent toy a poor review.

Take a small safety pin and stick it to the nose of the helicopter with some selotape.

This will improve performance and fly-ability dramatically. Why? The controls for this toy only move it up and down and turn it left and right. Unlike a real helicopter there is no lateral control of the rotor blades (it's a toy, remember;-), you can achieve forward momentum by tilting the helicopters nose down with the extra weight. (The small sticky tin foil weights that come with the toy are a big clue, but aren't really heavy enough).

If you don't believe me try launching the toy from your hand (tilted forward) on full throttle, it will fly across the room with improved manoeuvrability until it looses momentum (that's why you need to weight the nose).
