Product Description

The Picoo Z is one of the newest flying experiences from Silverlit....the experts in flying right out of the box! The Picoo Z weighs just an incredible 10 grams....which is about a packet of crisps....but don't buy the crisps, just check out the video and read about all the fun you can have with a Picco Z! At six inches long and fitting comfortably in the palm of your hand (you like it already!), the Picoo Z incorporates a stable system of flight to ensure a terrific 'straight out of the box experience'! The control system is an innovative two-channel proportional wide beam infra red which effectively works like the TV remote and means that you avoid poking out the eyes of loved ones with the more traditional telescopic aerial. Picoo Z has 2 powerful micro motors which are powered by a built in Lithium Polymer flight battery which will enable flights of 10 minutes or more. Recharge is less than half an hour with the portable charger provided. The Picoo Z also has a strobe LED (blue) for those night manoeuvers and the auto stability system makes for a speedy pilots license. Made of tough expanded Polypropylene foam, the Picoo Z can be flown indoors or outdoors (calm conditions) and is certainly a durable and robust must have!....

At six inches long and fitting comfortably in the palm of your hand, the PicooZ incorporates a stable system of flight to ensure a terrific 'straight out of the box experience'. Supremely responsive, control is via an innovative, two-channel, proportional wide-beam infra red system. This effectively works like a TV remote and means you avoid poking out the eyes of loved ones - a clear risk with more traditional telescopic aerials! PicooZ has 2 powerful micro motors, which are powered by a built in Lithium Polymer flight battery and enable flights of 10 minutes or more. Recharge takes less than half an hour with the portable charger provided. The PicooZ also has a strobe LED (blue) for those night manoeuvres, while the auto stability system makes for a speedy pilot's license. Made of tough expanded polypropylene foam, the PicooZ can be flown indoors or outdoors (in calm conditions) and can take knock after knock, whilst remaining in flyable condition. Spare rotor blades are available for purchase seperately.

Amazing Value for money
Bought one of these for myself and it was quickly stolen by my 53 year-old father!
The helicopter is everything it claims to be. I've found that 20 minutes is usually all it needs for a full charge and you get about 8 minutes of flying time for that.
As mentioned in the instructions, running the battery all the way down WILL kill the battery life until the helicopter is no longer fly-able so that is something to watch out for.
As it's a two channel helicopter (one for thrust, the other for direction) it wont fly forward without some weight at the front. I've found that stabbing the nose with a pin with some blue tack at the end can make for respectable forward motion.

Overall great fun.

I'd buy two since they're so cheap.

Can't put it down
Friday morning, both helicopters arrived, very well packed. Instructions very clear and well, everything looked really easy. Batteries in, and great both helicopter's already had a little charge in them, so lets get it flying.
Whatever we did the copter would not lift off, just imedediatly leaning over to the left and the rotors hitting the floor. Very frustrated and dissapointed.
Tried the 2nd copter, exactly the same problem, would not lift, just tilting over to the left and rotors hitting the floor.
Just about ready to pack them back up and return (as well as giving major neg feedback!!!!) when we noticed that both copter's main rotor shaft were mounted so they leaned over to the left. After a little twisting and light forcing, we decided to try again.
Fantastic, both copters lifted straight up, with minimal spinning. A little bit of trim soon sorted this. The whole weekend has been spent between 20 mins charges and then 10 mins flights. No major probs with damage, so far, although any heavy landing or bumps do mean re-trimming is required, but this is dead easy and part of the fun. Some damage to the polystyrene has not had any significant impact of flight ability yet. No damage to rear rotor yet - don't know what others have done to break this so easily (see others feedback!!!).
My 7 year old daughter, 10 year old son, me a ham fisted 42 year old and even my 36 year old wife, have all mastered the controls and can't put them down. Biggest problem is now trying to share 2 copters with 4 would be pilots. Need to order 2 more me thinks!!!
Great toy, but initial perseverence needed, but well worth while - one of the best toy's ever.

A must have boys toy!!!!
I bought this for my son and he hasn't stop playing it since. I would recommend this toy as a must have for all boys above the age of 6-66! It gives hours of fun to all ages alike and the only disappointment is with the charging of the helicopter which takes 20 minutes but the charge lasts for only 10 minutes, otherwise a big thumbs up!!!!!!!
