Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General
from: Silverlit


Friday morning, both helicopters arrived, very well packed. Instructions very clear and well, everything looked really easy. Batteries in, and great both helicopter's already had a little charge in them, so lets get it flying.
Whatever we did the copter would not lift off, just imedediatly leaning over to the left and the rotors hitting the floor. Very frustrated and dissapointed.
Tried the 2nd copter, exactly the same problem, would not lift, just tilting over to the left and rotors hitting the floor.
Just about ready to pack them back up and return (as well as giving major neg feedback!!!!) when we noticed that both copter's main rotor shaft were mounted so they leaned over to the left. After a little twisting and light ... Read More:

Silverlit PicooZ Twin Blade 3 Channel Helicopter - TandemZ

I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and have had great fun watching him trying to master the art of flying!! We've both been amazed at how the helicopter has stood up to the number of crash landings and bouncing off walls and ceilings. Now he's getting the hang of flying it's been quite interesting to see how the helicopter works and responds to the controls, such as hovering for instance.
Highly recommended; in fact, it looks like his work mates are starting to drop hints to partners ready for Christmas.....

Ozbozz Nebulus Nectra Folding Scooter

I bought this one for my 5 year old, but the wheels are very hard and there is a lot of vibration and noise, so she refused to ride it, but it doesn't bother her sister. Her sister also tends to over-steer and the front wheel sometimes jams. We also have the 3 wheel flashing scooter, and have had the wheels fall off. We do ride them to school most days though, and they don't get much maintenance, so probably my fault.

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter - 3 Channel Atlas

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General
from: Silverlit

April 14, 2008
Technically very clever, this is an evolution of the tiny Picoo Z 2-channel machine that has taken the world by storm.
What they have added to this is a 'Forward' button that gives a surge of forwards movement to the otherwise very slowly moving helicopter.
But....
This surge forward comes after a slight but unpredictable delay, and the yaw control (left/right steering) on this machine is less good than on the Picoo Z.
So you might have this little machine hovering, and want to buzz it across the room, but it is twisting to the right, OK?
If you try to stop it twisting the sticky yaw control can set it spinning left, and the trim is not a lot of help in this - unlike the older Picoo Z. If you take pot luck and ... Read More:

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter - Metro Fly

from: Silverlit


Right , Ive got a bit of time to write while the PicooZ charges up again so I thought I would write the sort of review I would like to read if I was contemplating buying one. If your not in for a longish read then i'll summaries it for you now in one sentence;

Yes, buy one but don't expect you'll be Mr/Mrs Airwolf from what is essentially a 2 channel toy that cost £20. With that in mind you can't go wrong.

For anyone else that wants more detail read on ....

first things first- some more flesh on the ratings ive given it:-

how much fun is this toy? - 5 stars. It's all relative of course but unless you have the attention span of a gnat , the co-ordination and reaction times of a sloth and just plain ... Read More:

Silverlit Genuine PicooZ Replacement Tail Rotors (3 Pack)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General
from: Silverlit


My picoo z was still flying well with a cracked rear rotor blade but I knew one more nose-dive behind the sofa and my fun would be over. Unfortunately my
over enthusiasm after christmas day for tidying up meant the original spare went in the bin with cracker bits. Luckily these are official Silverlit rotors and a pack of three, which I was very happy about as I can play 'Apocolypse Now' to my heart's content.

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter Sky Challenger Set (2 Pack)

A great idea, and it was huge fun for about 2 weeks. BUT then the tail rotor needed replacing and in the removal and refitiing procedure suddenly it didn't rotate at all. So one helicopter down... The next one lasted about a month longer. I don't think that's value for money. Toys like scaletrix and lego still work after 20 years!

Silverlit PicooZ Insecta Helicopter

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General
from: Silverlit


Got this because my PicooZ had long since died, and even though I've graduate since to a 4-channel co-axial, I missed the little guy. So, got this as a replacement, as I fancied something a little different looking.

As noted by another reviewer, you get no choice in which of the three infrared channels you will receive, which could cause problems if you want to use more than one at a time (is anyone at Amazon listening? Could we have a choice of the A,B or C versions, please?).

It flies great, better than my old PicooZ, but whether this is due to a better design, or simply that my original one got a bit mangled as I learnt, I have no idea: Maybe I had better buy a heli-style one as well, just for comparison purposes, of course (ahem!). ... Read More:
