CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Customer rating stars Can't put it down Posted: 06 July 2008
Friday morning, both helicopters arrived, very well packed. Instructions very clear and well, everything looked really easy. Batteries in, and great both helicopter's already had a little charge in them, so lets get it flying.
Whatever we did the copter would not lift off, just imedediatly leaning over to the left and the rotors hitting the floor. Very frustrated and dissapointed.
Tried the 2nd copter, exactly the same problem, would not lift, just tilting over to the left and rotors hitting the floor.
Just about ready to pack them back up and return (as well as giving major neg feedback!!!!) when we noticed that both copter's main rotor shaft were mounted so they leaned over to the left. After a little twisting and light forcing, we decided to try again.
Fantastic, both copters lifted straight up, with minimal spinning. A little bit of trim soon sorted this. The whole weekend has been spent between 20 mins charges and then 10 mins flights. No major probs with damage, so far, although any heavy landing or bumps do mean re-trimming is required, but this is dead easy and part of the fun. Some damage to the polystyrene has not had any significant impact of flight ability yet. No damage to rear rotor yet - don't know what others have done to break this so easily (see others feedback!!!).
My 7 year old daughter, 10 year old son, me a ham fisted 42 year old and even my 36 year old wife, have all mastered the controls and can't put them down. Biggest problem is now trying to share 2 copters with 4 would be pilots. Need to order 2 more me thinks!!!
Great toy, but initial perseverence needed, but well worth while - one of the best toy's ever.

Customer rating stars A must have boys toy!!!! Posted: 25 March 2008
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!!!!!!!

Customer rating stars Terrific fun Posted: 05 March 2008
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.

Customer rating stars Seriously cool - easy to learn, hard to master Posted: 19 February 2008
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.

Customer rating stars Helicopters for dummies Posted: 12 February 2008
I got given one of these for Christmas and it has taken everything I have thrown at it: Attacks from other flying objects, being flown into walls, 40ft freefalls onto concrete and more. Having said that my brother broke his within a day so there seems to be some variability in build quality. Having said that he's a bit of a neanderthal and could probably break an aircraft black box within a few seconds. All in all these are cracking little toys and for the modest price you can't go far wrong.
