6 out of 7 faulty! still, i really like it. October 4, 2008

although this is the best toy(flies forward yes-and its fast) i've ever had i must admit that out of the 7 pieces i received only 1 works perfectly. i originally ordered 2 and since then kept sending them back for replacement. i really thank amazon for their service. free shipping back!
-fault on 4: keeps spinning left!
-fault on 2: not flying forward!
i only got one which perfectly works.
by the way i still got a faulty one lying however i am actually embarrassed to send it back for replacement. but i guess i'll have to.
oh yes, the legs of of all the helicopters werent straight.
i guess that the series i got had a serious manufacturing fault. or is it just me?
still, if your one works trust me you'll have so much fun with it. flies forward yes. only a few low price helicopters can do that on the market. all the 2 channels are boring!
Huge fun, but slightly erratic September 4, 2008

Technically very clever, this is an evolution of the tiny Picoo Z 2-channel machine that has taken the world by storm.
What they have added to this is a 'Forward' button that gives a surge of forwards movement to the otherwise very slowly moving helicopter.
But....
This surge forward comes after a slight but unpredictable delay, and the yaw control (left/right steering) on this machine is less good than on the Picoo Z.
So you might have this little machine hovering, and want to buzz it across the room, but it is twisting to the right, OK?
If you try to stop it twisting the sticky yaw control can set it spinning left, and the trim is not a lot of help in this - unlike the older Picoo Z. If you take pot luck and wait until it lines up on your destination, the forward button may delay enough until it aims you at the wall!
So it can be a bit of a lottery, but still great fun.
Fortunately it seems just as tough as the Picoo Z.
The tiny actuator mechanism for the 'Forward' control is jewel like and a very neat bit of model engineering, significant educational value, as always - but the way the whole machine flies is not so good in the ways described. Pity.
Oh, and it has a remote controlled light on it. Might add fun to the arrival of the Xmas pud? Just don't get too near the flames!
Still recommended, but for fun rather than precision flying.
