Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS
from: Silverlit


Bought one of these for myself and it was quickly stolen by my 53 year-old father!
The helicopter is everything it claims to be. I've found that 20 minutes is usually all it needs for a full charge and you get about 8 minutes of flying time for that.
As mentioned in the instructions, running the battery all the way down WILL kill the battery life until the helicopter is no longer fly-able so that is something to watch out for.
As it's a two channel helicopter (one for thrust, the other for direction) it wont fly forward without some weight at the front. I've found that stabbing the nose with a pin with some blue tack at the end can make for respectable forward motion.

Overall great fun.

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter Sky Challenger Set (2 Pack)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS
from: Silverlit

September 25, 2007
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 Twin Blade 3 Channel Helicopter - TandemZ

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS
from: Silverlit

April 14, 2008
I'd been hanckering after a RC helicopter for a while, and one with at least 3 channels, and this fitted the bill on a special offer price of a little over 20 quid.

6 AA batteries are required for the control unit, from which the helicopter cahrges. It needs about 30 minutes for a good 10 minutes flying. Not pictured on the sales images are the two clear plastic stabilising fins which help it stay stable, but they do work,the front one can be removed when experience is gained.

Overall, after the helicopter is trimmed, stable flight can be easily achieved, but it does struggle near the ground as its own draft makes it unsteady. While the body is only polystyrene, its quite robust surviving many crashes into walls at hitting the ... Read More:

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter - Metro Fly

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS
from: Silverlit


This was a birthday present, and was instantly a hit! However, on the first day of use the propeller blades started to loosen. Eventually it kept coming off every time it was used. We have tried to fix it ourselves but to no avail. This is a great shame as it would be a great little present for children and adults alike!

Ozbozz Nebulus Nectra Folding Scooter

This scooter is fine for a quick scoot to school for young children. My son however is 6 and managed to break the handlebars and crack the back wheel. he likes to scoot fast and do tricks. So i wouldnt reccomend it for adventurous children. My daughter isnt quite so brutal and hers is still going strong 6 months later.

Silverlit Genuine PicooZ Replacement Tail Rotors (3 Pack)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS
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 Insecta Helicopter

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS
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:

LEGO City 7743: Police Truck

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS

This is a great toy. My 9 year old son has just received the set with the police headquarters. As with most Lego sets, they are easy to make up and look great when finished. I am sure this will provide hours of fun.
