Product Description

Introducing an official Guinness World Record holder.... The PicooZ super miniature helicopter from the X-Rotor series and the smallest remote control helicopter ever built! This is a slim-lined infrared controlled precision flying machine, and weighing in at just 10g, the PicooZ is leaps and bounds beyond its competition and set to be the most popular gadget of its kind. The PicooZ's size and weight make it supremely responsive and give the helicopter the ability to be flown inside and outdoors with superb mid-flight stability. As with most remote control gadgets, the controls will take a little getting used to, but after a few minutes you'll be able to control the hovering altitude, and the direction of travel with ease. In fact, the new styled infrared controller is incredibly receptive giving a super-wide radius in which the PicooZ can be controlled. Constructed from a combination of lightweight yet durable materials, the PicooZ will take knock after knock, whilst remaining in flyable condition. The mechanics and battery are built within the helicopter body and so are protected at all times. The built-in battery is charged via the remote hand set which is supplied with an adapter that connects the two together. Simply charge for 20-30 minutes and you'll be ready for take off! Features: Miniature Size, Weighs just 10g, Super Wide Infrared control, Withstands bumps and crashes, 2 Rotary blades for extra mid-air stability, Charging enabled from handset, Charge time 20-30 minutes, Requires 6 x AA batteries (not included).

Manufacturer's 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!....

Customer Reviews

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!!!!!!!

Terrific fun
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.

Seriously cool - easy to learn, hard to master
Barcode: 4891813856153

I got given one of these for Christmas and i have to admit, they're damn cool. It's very easy to learn how to fly and it's a great feeling when you get the hang of it. For a very reasonable price you're getting something pretty sophisticated - it seriously can hover and although it doesn't look it, it is extremely durable, and trust me that's a good thing - you'll be crashing a lot.

However, as easy as it is to learn, it is very hard to master. And this is hampered by the fact the batteries last about 15 minutes before they have to be recharged. And even though it is durable, it looks so flimsy you're always worrying about crashing it - it puts your concentration on a knife edge. It's a great toy but like so many other things, you really need a lot of time to be able to enjoy it to the full. I'd say a group of young students would be able to get the most fun out of it as everyone can take it in turns whereas families with young kids will find it has limited appeal.
