Hi there,

Just to let you know that there is a walk around page about the Picooz here : http://www.gliderireland.net/picooz.htm

A few pictures, but if I have time, I'll put more in-flight ones and videos.



Lots of fun with this "toy" !!  :D  :D

The other mad Picooz pilot is Joe (yellow Picooz)

Enjoy !

Hi Alan,

Well, fully controlable.. Ok, sort of !  :wink:

You can go up and down, and turn left right.
The forward movement depend of the amount of weight you put on the noze !
No weight, the helicopter stays still (ok, almost...) a bit of wight on the noze, and it move forward.

But those little helicopters are realy great fun !  :D  :D

Note the CNC machine cutting some Dopperlraab parts for Joe on the background !  :D  :D  :D

I've been considering some upgrades like a CF main shaft and some ball bearings! Tunning the machine up!
