PicoZ mini helicopters!

That HONEY BEE MARK 3 looks like a decent buy, does it include transmitter etc too for that?

Yes, there is also the deluxe package that comes with the software for pc simulatyion and the right cables for connection. I got mine from a shop in the states, thanks to exchange rate, it cost about half of what it would be here in the Uk. I also opt for international airmail so as to avoid tax :)

$109 dollah?

I wish I hadn't seen this thread :(

I have a tiny high quality wireless camera which might be interesting.

I'll be saving my money for one of the new mini-RC 'Salvation' choppers shown on TV's Tycoon program, they are about £50 but most reviews say they are easliy the best ones currently available :)

Dont think that is an outdoor one...However it claims to be 3d. Im guessing it should be fun.

Yeah roughly around that price. :)

I want the Picoz or the PicooZ for indoor too. I really wished i havent seen this thread too.

yeah its an indoor one, but definately a bit bigger than the Pico ones, the main thing is they are 3 channel so you get a fair bit more control with them.

The Honey bee controls analogue?

The Honey bee controls analogue?[/QUOTE

.20-1/4" main rotor diameter, 21" fuselage length, 9 oz. flying weight. Honey Bee Mark 3 includes a 2-cell 800 mAh LiPoly battery pack and a dedicated LiPoly battery field charger. Ready to fly within minutes of opening the box. Charge the flight pack and you are ready. If you are a beginner, leaving the flybar weights at the outer position will dampen the controls and make the helicopter easier to fly. As you improve, move the weights in for quicker response. The swashplate has a metal ball for reduced wear and precise control. The servos are screwed to the frame for solid response. Main rotor has a fiberglass plate reducing blade coning, which improves the helicopters forward flight. Main and tail rotors are fixed pitch and are controlled by individual motors. The mixing board controls mixing of the main and tail rotors. The board also contains 2 speed controls, a peizo gyro for tail stabilizing and a battery-eliminator-circuit, which supplies power to the receiver and servos. A complete line of spare parts is available from Hobby Lobby. *Note - spare parts for the Honey Bee Mk. 2 and Mk. 3 are the same..

By the looks of the control, it appears to be a digital one.

Ok could someone please explain to me what is what, with actuall reasons. Which is the better one PicoZ or PicooZ?

Well, apparently the legit one is called Picoo Z which is made by Silverlit.

I have one which is a Pico Z and as far as I can tell is identical though I'll check the packaging when I get home.

Surely digital controls are less than ideal, it'll make it more edgy and difficult to manouvure?

Is it? I honestly dont know. :) It is a beginner heli so it might have well been a non-digital control. Google the image and see.

Looks identical apart from the body design to the Micro Mosquito that I picked up for £12 inc delivery (same rotor and tail). While excellent fun, forward speed is not that great. Can be improved with a piece of blu-tak on the front though.

Had this for a week before I went and bought a Lama v3, however weathers not good enough to fly it at the moment. Come on summer!
 
Haven't read the rest of this thread but I have a PicoZ and was a bit dissapointed at the lack of control you have over it. I also didn't realise you couldn't fly forwards without sticking stuff on the front :(
