[NSRCA-discussion] You gotta have it!

[Dennis]

I went to Radio Shack and bought one of these. I ask the clerk how many
times he had crashed this one (It was the only one left) and he said "this
one, never". When I got it home I looked at the tape holding the heli in the
carton and could see it had been cut with a razor and re-taped. I am sure
they had flown this in the store. While it was not damaged you have to
question if the one you tried had been tried also by the clerk and left in a
discharged state. Mine when discharged will only spin in circles with no
lift. It has been a lot of fun and has me looking at perhaps upgrading to a
larger size that is more controllable.

I checked out the radio shack heli tonite.  They had only 1 and said they
don't get them very often.  However the thing didn't work!  It would only go
round in circles even with full trim - no lift!

Fortunately I tried it there in the store so they took it back right away!

Maybe just a bad batch??

If you like that you should pick up a Horizon Blade CP. It comes with
everything you need including batteries and a transmitter. It's a collective
pitch machine so it is fully aerobatic. Just don't try any backward flips
unless you have the carbon blades. <VBG> Parts are cheap in case you have an
accident.

Hey Stuart,

I have to say that this little heli has been a blast. For $30, it is well
worth the money. I think I have flown it more in the last two days than I
have flown my pattern plane in the last two months. Now, if they would just
come out with a $30 indoor pattern plane...!

I'll add some comments. One slightly annoying thing is it has to retrimmed
every flight. Also, it took probably 5 flights for the motor/battery to
break in and have enough power. The right and left are slightly erratic at
times, but it adds to the challenge. This little thing is pretty fun.

Thanks,
Emory Schroeter.


Not pattern but something every R/Cer should have.  For only $30 at Radio
shack it's a lot of fun.

Picoo Z mini helicopter.  Check out the video.  (I haven't been able to get
mine to fly this smoothly yet)
