Update (1/13/07): there is a first-aid kit in every package that contains two adhesive pads and a spare tail propeller in every package, shipped before and now. As suggested by fellow customers the adhesive pads can be sticked under the nose of the helicopter to cause the craft to fly forward faster. If you're interested you may even try sticking two of them.

This Pocket Mini Helicopter is constructed from Polypropylene. Weighing at a mere 0.35oz (10g) and measuring only six inches in length, it's the smallest and lightest helicopter we've seen. This makes it very safe for teens to play.

It flies exactly like its far more expensive look-alikes while also sporting a LED strobe light giving it a realistic helicopter look (something even our more expensive helicopters don't have). What's more? It's charged directly by the remote control's built-in cable. Charging gets done in as little as 20 minutes.

What surprises us is the auto-stability system (finally...) in this helicopter that allows even the most novice of users to at least take off instead of smashing it into a wall. In fact it works quite well. I've tried lifting off from my hands at a steep angle. The helicopter automatically leveled itself within 3 seconds or so. It's kind of fun to do that too but still please watch out for people and animals and make sure you have a large enough room before you try to lift it off at an angle.

Lastly, there is a L/R rudder trimmer switch available so you can always fine tune each flight. If your helicopter keeps turning around, use the trimmer switch.

For beginners, the easiest way to trim the heli out is to simply push the L or the R buttons multiple times and see if the helicopter's turning action slows down. If so, continue on pressing the same button until the helicopter flies completely still. Otherwise, try pressing the other button.

2 received trying first

Out of the box it would tend to pitch to the right and fly very fast away until a wall. Visualy nice beacuse felt like a real copter maneuver but not much functionnal.

I started to calibrate the tail. I managed to make it more stable, but it would enter in a pendulum swing movement, back and forth.

This has to be related to the tail angle pushing it too much forward and until the stabiliser rotor tries naturally to re-balance the whole thing. this whole thing induces kind of oscillation effect.

Playing with the tail made it eventually quite stable. Trimmimg the remote make it stop turning on itself.

now I'm focused on the forward move, not fully acheived. Tried the weight on the tip but does not really work... Logical, the auto balancing system will managage to re-balance the whole thing.

But I noticed in the manual that it should go formard if you induce a slight rotation to the right. This probably affects the flow of the balance system and actually, work...

I'm woking on it now. We'll see.

Usage Instructions Return to top

1. Insert the 6 included AA batteries into the remote control.

2. Set the A/B/C switch to the system name indicated on the box. It's a white label on to-wards right on the box.

3. Open the charger cable cover on the remote and connect the white charger cable to the helicopter's charging port (besides the ON/OFF switch). Be careful when plugging in as the connector is keyed and must go in with a certain orientation.

If you have plugged in the charger cable correctly, turn on the remote control and a green "charging" light should lit up or flashes on the remote control. This light goes off when charging is complete.

4. Turn on the helicopter and you may begin flying.
