Review: PicooZ RC Helicopter - The Gadgeteer
If you have any reservations as to whether you are up to the challenge of operating any of the "toy" helicopters on the market, check out the experience of The Gadgeteer in a review of the PicooZ RC Helicopter. 'Weighing in at an almost feather weight of 0.4 ounces, the PicooZ is small and fragile feeling. The body is styrofoam while the tail part is a thin tape covered plastic strip. The 3 rotor blades are made of a thin flexible plastic. In contrast, the handheld transmitter is a robust plastic module with 2 thumb controlled joysticks that control power and direction. The transmitter is powered by 6 AA batteries (not included). In addition to controlling the PicooZ, it also charges the Li-poly battery in the helicopter.'
