Tim Mackey Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Only in calm very calm, weather, they are actually quite tricky to fly, but after some practice great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopher small Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi Timbo,I shall have to get one,just about afford that.what do they have rudder and elevator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Neither !! Yawing turns are effected by proportinal speed alteration of either motor, and elevation is achieved through thrustline of the motors EG power on - it climbs.... power off it falls ! As I say...takes a fair bit of practice, but once mastered in a decent size hall or large garage etc, VERY calm day even outside, smooth round circuits are possible.

Ian Laing Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi, Where can I get a replacement LiPo cell for the PicoZ? I'm on to my third PicoZ, the first lost all battery power the first two flights, the second has lasted a week and now is dead - I've just bought my third Pico but am worried about the LiPo life.Regards, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winchweight Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 My son bought one of the combat heli pairs being sold there (not genuine Silverlit), but one of them won't climb, it just sinks. Any suggestions for what he can do about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Shaun - no idea I'm afraid, the silverlit pair did fly a bit differently but they always went upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi, I have 2 pico's which are great fun to fly, but I have loads of trouble trying to get them to charge up from the trx. Has anyone got any ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Cheers birdy, eric, but tried all the usual like new batteries; checking charging wire connection etc. Only thing I can now think of is that the plugs may be faulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
