Own one of these little beauties?
http://www.piccoz.net/
Scroll down for the movie.
Available from Amazon UK for 19.99!!!
Includes what is probably the smallest RC helicpoter, IR remote, which also charges the beast, spare tail rotor, etc.
Virtually indestructible.
Never had so much fun for so little money.
Lots of sites in the Net re tuning and customizing.
Type in Picco in youtube for lots of movies.
Magic!

It's being marketed here in the US by AirHogz. Seen one in person at a hobby shop and it looks like it could be fun. Be sure to have all the ceiling fans and Central Air/Heat off though.

We have two in the office at work. Great for stress relief!
I'm considering trying to merge two into a Chinook......

Great idea. Next time my wife wants a book from Amazon, I can add one to make up the cost for free postage. :dance:

I own the Hummingbird V3
http://www.centuryheli.com/products/hel ... making.htm
189.00 US but comes with everything needed including batteries and a 6 channel radio
Having a tail rotor it's a bit harder to control and,
and the tail rotor motor has to be replaced after
it's been up about 20 times. ...... but it's like 8 bucks
thats not too bad it equalls about 300 minutes of flight time.
and as the others shown here it's very light weight so any good amount of wind,,... brezze whatever .. and it'll run amuck
Mine is in need of repair... :sad:
damn scoccer goal net :curse:
this is a good little article on flying a helo Hope it helps
