I bought one from Amazon a few weeks ago and it spins so widely that all I can do with it is make it go up and down. The video for the Pico Z version 2 looks a lot better than this one. Maybe they just had an expert pilot fly it. I havent tried it outside yet but the directions say it is for indoors because even a little wind will interfere with controlling it.. I have had lots of RC cars and boats.. Also for $15 shipping I wont bother to return it just give it a bad review..

My son played this and it 3 times hit on a tree and stuck there. But survived. But it got little cracks on it’s head. It can fly about more than 15 minutes. Charge for 30 min. But it goes in a same speed.

Care must be taken to trim the anti-torque rotor before controlled flight is possible. By throttling to just short of take-off one can trim the anti-torque rotor speed before lifting off. Best flight is achieved indoors or on a calm day outdoors. The chopper is durable in crashes and reconfigures quickly for flight. The controls are responsive.
The main rotor motor can fail. Replacement motors are cheap. Plug-in connections to the circuit board often shake loose. A small dab of hot-glue cures this.
This big boy flies much better than it’s little cousins and one can have hours of fun and many good flights.

I got this remote heli for my 10 year-old’s first christmas ever. Yes, it’s true. Don’t ask.
Anyway, he sees the box; he knows what it is WEEKS before Christmas. The anticipation is killing him. He’s so excited. He’s jumping up and down begging me to let him open just one present early.
Then the morning arrives and he tears into it. It was so difficult to remove from the carton/packaging that something broke and the propeller never worked right. He had never had such a fantastic toy; he had never experienced such tremendous anticipation; what a let down.
It really was not only a major bummer for us all (even his little brother was sorry for him) but a waste of my hard-earned limited funds.

It took a little practice to learn to fly this, but it was definitely fun. I could make it do clockwise loops around the room, or hover mostly in place while spinning counter-clockwise. I crashed it many times, none of which caused any obvious physical damage. However, on the third day after I bought it, the tail rotor stopped spinning (in mid-flight!) and it’s not worked since. It comes with a replacement tail rotor, but that doesn’t solve anything as it’s the tail rotor motor that no longer works.
I really enjoyed it while it lasted (I loved watching the fish lunge at it every time it flew by the aquarium, as if it were a big yellow bug) but it’s pretty disappointing to be broken so soon.
If yours doesn’t break, a few things to keep in mind:
The rotors pick up hair from the floor when the copter crashes, which will have adverse effects on the flight characteristics. I spent a lot of time picking hair out with tweezers.
The easiest way to launch the copter is by holding it in your hand, not from a flat surface like the directions say.
If your copter just goes up and down, add one of the provided stickers to the front; that’ll change the balance and it’ll move forward.
The control unit has to be turned on to charge the copter; it doesn’t say this anywhere in the instructions.
The copter will, in some instances, completely ignore the controls, even if there’s a clear line-of-sight to the controller. I chalk this up to cheap mass-production of a fairly complex toy.
