i hope i posted this tread at the correct section...

anybody has any idea where to buy this?

IN MALAYSIA? WITHOUT USING ONLINE SHOPPING...



Picoo Z

Picoo Z ? (Review taken from firebox.co.uk) Firebox/PicooZ

Pedals, joysticks, flight manuals, Bruno Brookes-style leather blouson...it's a right rigmarole flying a chopper, isn't it? Well no, not if you buy the amazing PicoZ Micro Helicopter. Ready-to-fly straight out the box, this palm-sized IR flying machine is perfect for indoor flights. And it won't blow off the boss's toupee or decapitate the dog, even in a head-on collision, as it's only 17cm long and weighs a mere 10g. More importantly it won't fall to bits, as it's constructed from robust polypropylene foam. You control the airborne action via a twin channel, wide-beam infra-red transmitter that doubles up as a charger. With a range of up to 30ft, you'll soon be conducting hush-hush raids on distant enemy desks and, thanks to the Pico's eerie blue strobe light, putting the willies up the late shift. Just make sure you don't hum the music to Magnum whilst doing so - it's a dead giveaway!
Unlike the whopping great petrol-driven choppers of yesteryear, the Pico's powerful micro motors are powered by a lightweight lithium polymer battery, giving flight times of up to 10 minutes from a half hour charge. More than enough to harass housemates and buzz the budgie. Indeed, when it comes to manoeuvrability, this nifty chopper is the canine's cojones. And that's down to an ingenious auto-stability system which makes flying the Pico a doddle. We guarantee you'll be utterly addicted to this titchy triumph of micro technology before you can say 'Jan Michael Vincent' (whippersnappers get Googling), and the whole indoor flight angle adds a thrilling new dimension to proceedings. Open spaces? Who need 'em!

can find videos of this thing flying on YouTube, its quite cool so can anyone who knows where to buy this in malaysia without resorting to online transactions?

for those who know, its from the same company that brought the X-TWIN RC (RM109- and it really flies!) planes which can be found at Jaya Jusco and Toys'R'Us and such places.. and NO, im not promoting these stuff, just trying to find them

P.S for those who noticed, sorry to post the same thing 3 times...

but from what i saw so far (i think it's this heli) the movement is restricted to up / down while the other movements are entirely at random.

It is a 2-ch receiver.
Movements are limited to up and down and left and right.
Forward movements are simulated by adding weights to the front of the heli.
Still a toy actually.
But a good functional toy heli at that.

It can goes up and down. left and right. if u put alittle bit weight infront it will go forward and can travel arround your room. (If u know how to control la... but easy to learn).

e-sky lama is nearly like a real heli with full helicopter functions. it's much harder to control and more expensive. good for beginners of true helicopter r/c fans. and definitely not for children.

the pico-z is just a toy that even a child can play.

of course esky lama is easier compared to other real electric heli. others use a rear rotor. esky lama is just coaxial. smile.gif

compared to esky lama, definitely picoz is easier. smile.gif

Hi,

For those interested with infrared heli (not Picoz brand some China brand) I bought one for RM60 at Nilai 3 toy shop. It worked nicely and I had so much fun flying it until... :sob: :sob: my 2yrs old nephew chewed partly the styrofoam-based front part. Now, it just fly aimlessly to the front due to its unbalanced body.

FYI, this shop also sells other type r/c heli including, a 2ch plastic body heli for RM49. I think this the cheapest place to find these models in whole of Msia.

it's the easiest to fly. with some Shift in CG, this thing will be stable and can move forward.
good thing is.... this mini heli is 95% crash proof

well... i have 1 picooz apache, sky challenge and Atlas all from PA.

one of my sky challenge also broken!! (battery broke)

now the newest Atlas with 3channel i dunno how long it last. i did a bit lousy modification infont to make it more stable once it travel forward.
