$30 RC Helicopter... so much damn fun!!!!

Like two weeks ago I payed $30 for a PicooZ RC Helicopter. It's a small styrofoam helicopter that feels fragile but isn't. It's tough... survived at least 30 crashes with no breaks 'till I fucked with it. It came with aluminium tape to add wait to the from for better flying but I lost it and substituted weight with a tack stuck in the front, but periced the battery and broke it. No big loss for 30 bones though.

Yeah, they're badass. I wore mine out. The tail rotor motor starts to get weaker with time, and the copter begins to rotate counter-clockwise no matter how much trim or right stick you give it. I'll pick another one up next chance I get.

Still, a butt-load of fun tormenting my daughter's cats and flying it around the house.

Very easy, once you get the rotation trimmed out and a little weight on the nose to give a little forward movement. It's a very stable bird, and young kids can fly them with easily right out of the box. It survives most crashes very well also.

I did the RC plane thing years ago -with an instructor- and it was the hardest fucking thing I ever tried to do. I had a beginner's "Dura-plane" and finally gave up because I got tired of repairing it from crashes.

I own a Reflex and a Havoc Heli myself.

I just ruined the Havoc by crash landing on top of a 46 gallon fish tank and it fell through the filter opening and into the water.

I am drying it out now but I think it's done.

These little helicopters are so fun.
