My PicooZ mini Helicopter flying at home. Almost hit the camera.
Hatched in 1983 on a sunny island call Singapore. Graduated from National University of Singapore in 2009 and working in the IT industry since then.

Got my PicooZ exchanged at Toys ‘R’ Us!
The current one flys much better! It can do left, go right, up, down, forward, backward and even spin 360 degree horizontally while in flight!
Ok I lied.
The PicooZ can only fly up and down and turn left and right. Making it move forward actually requires some tactic. Besides the adding of weight to the front of the PicooZ or even any method of displacing the PicooZ in flight, users can actually play with the throttle and left or right. By dropping the throttle and increasing it while holding the playing with the left/right slightly, it can actually move forward/backward. Interesting!
There is actually a modification site for picooz! Check PicooZ toolbox

My first modification!
Added a card to stop the rotor bar from swaying left and right while throttling!

Added canard for stable forward flight
Sad, the picooz is not responding to the trimmings. It just keeps spinning left. With maximum trim to the right and holding the direction right, the piccoz barely stop spinning left.
Lemon set? Perhaps going down to exchange at Toy ‘R’ Us

Seen promoter flying these at toys outlet recently. Ah, make me really tempted to buy one of these. It is a small helicopter that flies for around 10~15 mins on a full charge. Does look abit flimsy from the the picture. According to some forums, the built is sturdy enough for crashes (flying out of range or out of battery.
Christmas present anybody?
