Charge the PicoZ Atlas via the IR Transmitter
In true PicoZ style this fantastically manoeuvrable gizmo is powered by a built-in battery that's charged via the transmitter. Just over 20 minutes should give you flight times of around 10 minutes - more than enough to turbo-boost your way past the boss/headmaster before hovering over the receptionist/dinner lady's head. And if you're lucky enough not to have to go to school or work, you can woka-woka the entire day away and gawp at our fabulously orangey site whilst your PicoZ Atlas' charging. What a life!
Trimming - keeping your helicopter straight:
If the helicopter is in a spiral clockwise... |
|
or it keeps turning clockwise... |
|
push the right side of the trim repeatedly until the turning stops |

So I bought this thing a week ago, expecting it to be one of those 2 minute interests that I indulge in for a bit then forget about and lose to the man-eating dust in my cupboard.
Aadmittedly, after a week, it's still early days, but my goodness there's nothing more satisfying than plucking your own pet copter out of the air. Both my parents had a go, and it spoke volumes when my mum was flying it around the room first time.
It does take a little bit of time to adapt to if you're used to remote control cars - I went through a phase where whenever it went towards something I would instinctively stop pressing 'forwards'... except that it was actually 'up' which I stopped...
I've yet to bring it into college... though that might be a bad idea all things considered, it's very hard to resist!
All in all, a great buy, you need some space for it to enjoy it properly, but if you've got it, then go for it!
P. S. Thanks firebox for your lovely festive frenzy... it's truly brilliant.

Well what can you say about the Pico Uranus (apart from the unfortunately named connotations of the name and all those old jokes). It's great value-for-money. All you need now is the awesome new, digitally remastered Airwolf soundtrack that they've just released called 'Airwolf Themes' which you can download off Apple iTunes Store, or from their official website where there are great teaser samples, http://www.airwolfthemes.com.SurgeFilter, UK - Mar '08
If they made an Airwolf one I'd buy it...if they made an Airwolf one that made "the noise" (If you've seen the show you know what I mean. ) I'd give vital organs to have it :-).Fedris The Red, Norfolk - Mar '08
Peter Johnson of Norfolk fear not. I'm knocking on the door of 50, and just got a Pico Uranus. What a hoot! Terrified the mrs, scalped the cat, the dogs left home. The last time I had such a laugh was when my mum caught her whatsits in the mangle!!!!! Great product, well done firebox.Steve Spencer, Rossendale Lancs - Apr '08
Wow at 49 I really should not be buying things like this but it is fantastic fun.
I have never flown one of these before, and it is really a great helicopter to fly. I was soon annoying my kids by turning the head light on and off while hovering in front of them.

If I were going to buy one of the helicopters which would you say is better this one or the PicoZ TandemZ-1 Micro Chopper which is the other one on your website.Stephen Robinson, Seaham - Nov '09
Firebox says: They're too different! Depends which one you like the look of better - one rotor or two? The Tandem is probably also a little bit more of a challenge to fly.
