SILVERLIT RADIO CONTROL PICOO Z HELICOPTER

The Picoo Z is one of the newest flying experiences from Silverlit....the experts in flying right out of the box! The Picoo Z weighs just an incredible 10 grams....which is about a packet of crisps. At six inches long and fitting comfortably in the palm of your hand, the Picoo Z incorporates a stable system of flight to ensure a terrific 'straight out of the box experience'! The control system is an innovative two-channel proportional wide beam infra red which effectively works like the TV remote and means that you avoid poking out the eyes of loved ones with the more traditional telescopic aerial. Picoo Z has 2 powerful micro motors which are powered by a built in Lithium Polymer flight battery which will enable flights of 10 minutes or more. Recharge is less than half an hour with the portable charger provided. The Picoo Z also has a strobe LED (blue) for those night manoeuvers and the auto stability system makes for a speedy pilots license. Made of tough expanded Polypropylene foam, the Picoo Z can be flown indoors or outdoors (calm conditions) and is certainly a durable and robust must have!
