I got this one from my girlfriend as a present for something, since I was talking about RC helicopters quite for a while then. I will try to mention pro's & cons as briefly as i can:
PROS: Light, quick charge, small enough for indoor use, sufficient battery life (control), literally unbreakable, easy to modify (great fun!) - just add weights (pins) or sticky tape.
CONS: Too light to be used outdoors (wind), reacts too greatly to its own air waves (lowering to the ground shakes the Picooz), pretty hard to control, flying forward requires skill, noisy vibrations of the gear (appears in the middle of a speed range) impedes flight direction, precision of control changes gradually with battery discharging, no use of a LED light "for night time flight".
However, all in all it is fun toy to have, and if you are bothered by those cons- just buy a bigger one, like I will !:) Have fun

Quick review of Silverlit Micro RC PicooZ Helicopter
One word. FUN
I bought my PicooZ micro helicopter yesterday and already i can say its one of the best things ive ever bought.
They cost from £17 to £25 depending on where u buy it from.
Anyway. The helicopter is a great wee piece of kit, it can be flown indoors and out. It is about 12cm long and made out of durable crash-proof material and has a flashing light for night flying.
Within an hour of getting it out of the box i had mastered flying it, as there is only 2 joysticks on the controller. You can fly it around a fairly small room and is great for doing mini missons to land on the wardrobe.
I would highly recomend this as a great crimbo stocking filler. ...

Advantages: Ease of use, spare parts easily obtained, Great fun for children and adults Disadvantages: Shame it doesn't run for very long.
When you first see this helicopter, you may well think that it doesn't look very robust, but on trying it out; I couldn't believe how many knocks it took with no breakages whatsoever, it just keeps on going. I bought one for my husband, but now we are both hooked. So believe me they are not just for kids. If you want to chill out for a while, this is a great way to do it, flying this little helicopter around your lounge, choosing where you want to ... ...your landing, (I've managed both from inside the uplighter, took a little practise though)! negotiating obstacles, ie: pets, (even my cat likes to join in the fun, she tries to swat the helicopter in the air as it flies past). The radio control is easy to use, You'll love it. ...
