Mel, Salisbury , “Age 42. Mad!”

Score 10.0/10

+ These little choppers are seriously good fun. While attempting to learn to fly you will crash, but the little choppers just keep on flying.

- Battery life is limited because you charge from the handset. You can however purchase a USB charger over the internet which really cuts down on battery usage.

- Bit too delicate .. only lasted a day; propeller chipped and propeller shaft bent.. which resulted in my picoo z remote control helicopter looking like it had a drunken pilot with an obsession with my dining room floor.

- Took a while to get the hang of, and is not very good outdoors needs to be in an area protected from wind.
