Product Description

Now pay attention. If you're as serious about gadgets as we are, there isn't a great deal about the MX-1 that you won't be impressed with. First off... It's size. At an incredible 4 1/2 inches in length this is the smallest remote controlled helicopter you're ever likely to see, yet within its lightweight outer shell this helicopter houses a rechargeable battery pack and a minuscule propeller motor that enable it to fly around for approximately 10 minutes from a single charge. Charging the MX-1 is simple. Connect the helicopter to the hand held remote control unit and wait for the charging indicator to signify the on board battery is being charged. The hand held remote control doubles as a handy storage unit for the helicopter when not in use, enabling easy and damage-free transportation and simultaneous charging. Due to its size and weight the MX-1 is most suited to indoor flight and is ideal for flying missions around the office or in the home. Joysticks on the remote enable control of altitude, direction and trimming making airborne navigation as simple as possible.

Fun but hard to fly
I've never had a toy helicopter before, so have no skills in flying. Had it a few days and able to make it hover. Not mastered manouvers yet. Probably me, but seems quite jerky at times (i.e. reduce power a bit and it sinks to the floor fast!!)

Good fun, and has survived lots of crashes so far. Comes with a Spare tail rotor in the packet too.

A Fabulous Present for all the Family to Enjoy
I wasnt sure whether this would be a good present or not for my 16 year old son. However, I bought it as a stocking filler, as it was fantastic value for money. The whole family ended up playing with it. Once you get the hang of the controls on the box, it is easy to make this helicopter fly. I have flown it numerous times, and it is easy to control.It is so light and small so it wont damage your furniture, or light fittings if it touches them.
We had so much fun with this. It only takes 10 minutes to re-charge in the box, and it is ready to fly again. When youve finished, it can be packed back in the plastic control box.
A fabulous present for all the family. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It made our Christmas a lot of fun!!!

Silverlit PicooZ MX1 Helicopter - Tiny toy huge fun
Gave these as presents at Xmas to 3 boys aged 8,11,13 all of them loved them, quickly mastered controls and constaintly played with them throughout the Xmas holiday.
Bad points: Can be difficult to trim the helicopter precisely. One of the 3 I purchased still has a tendancy to spin around alot and if you are buying them for brothers etc that will want to fly them at the same time, you will need to purchase different coloured ones as the 3 red I got are all on the same frequency which you cannot change.
Good points: Because of the size (its in the palm of your hand) they are really cool. The controller doubles up as the storage unit for the helicopter which is great as these tiny things need the care. Easy to recharge. Good things come in little packages. Would consider buying the other colours when on offer.
