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 take off from and deciding where you dare to attempt 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. ...
Advantages: Unbreakable, small Disadvantages: Too light, hard to control
I got this one from my girlfriend as a present for something, since I was talking about RChelicopters 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 ...
Advantages: Can be used indoors, cheap, good fun, can challenge your mates to a race Disadvantages: Can't be used outside, limited flying time before recharge needed, difficult to master controls
I received a PicooZ Sidewinder helicopter as a Christmas gift from my sister. When I first unwrapped it I was a bit disappointed since I thought it would be useless but once I started using it I realised how much fun these things actually are.
The PicooZ Sidewinder helicopter is a radio controlled helicopter that is made by Silverlit Toys (USA). It is a small (measuring 19cm from nose to tail) and lightweight (the body is made out of polystyrene and the tail, rotors etc are made from thin plastic) and is designed for indoor use.
****The box****
The box claims that the PicooZ Sidewinder radio controlled helicopter is the ?smallest and lightest with auto-stable technology?, which is quite a claim but one I feel cannot be substantiated. Other features include:
i) Super wide infrared control
ii) Miniature size and lightweight ...
