A brand new design for the classic mini-RC helicopter from Silverlit. At just 17cm long and weighing in at just 10g, the Pico entered the Guinness Book of Records as the smallest RC helicopter and provides amazing flying fun, and this new version comes in a desert camouflage pattern with green rotor blades.
Made from tough expanded Polypropylene foam, the Pico Desert King features a LED strobe light and incorporates an auto stability system, so it's simple to fly either indoors and outside in calm conditions.
Advanced co-axial rotor design has counter rotating propellers that provide unprecedented flight stability. Supplied completely ready-to-fly with an innovative pre-installed two channel proportional infra red control system, the integral Lithium Polymer flight battery will provide flights of 10 minutes or more between charges, and can be recharged quickly right from the controller unit.
Super stable and easy to fly in the smallest of spaces, it can even take off from the palm of your hand! There's no better way to get airborne!

Fun but flawed

I was looking forward to this little heli, but any fun was pretty short lived. It was easy to trim but pretty unresponsive in terms of direction. After about half an hours use, it just spun around on the floor and wouldn't even take off. Maybe i was unlucky, but have since read that this problem is not isolated with these small r/c models. Even so, it has got me interested so I may look for a more expensive 3 channel model as it is great fun.
TOTALLY AWESOME - AMAZING FUN - JUST TOO ENTERTAINING!

This seems to be quite expensive, priced at £24.99. However, it's cheaper than high street stores and if you think about it, you're getting a remote controle helicopter for only that price! It looks quite weak and fragile, however, even after many collisions, it's in full piece - working very smoothly. This is slightly hard to learn to control to begin with, but once you've mastered the controls- it's totally awesome and lots of fun.Juts buy it and you'll find out!!
Excellent Fun!

This little chopper is great fun! Mine flew fine straight out of the box - minor trimming adjustments later and its flying fine round my one-bed flat - even the smallest of spaces is possible! Does look quite fragile, but many minor collisions later and still running fine. The 20 min charge for 6 mins flight is about right. Bargain for the £15.99 I paid. Does take a little practice to get the hang though, so bear with it!
