This Twin Rotor PicooZ Tandem Z-1 is set to be one of the best selling boys toys for Christmas 2008. Developed by the well known guys at Silverlit it comes in three snazzy colours and also in a sneaky military camouflage. They have been designed so three can be flown at once, thanks to each colour having a unique infra red channel frequency, so no doubt they will bring endless fun.
The expertise involved gives these choppers excellent flying characteristics, they can be flown with extreme ease even in the tightest of spaces. The sophisticated gyroscopic auto-stability system with precise proportional control and the unique tilting rotors give the PicooZ Tandem Z-1 very good in-flight stability, even a novice can pilot this astonishing micro RC helicopter in no time at all.
The PicooZ RC Chinook weighs a mere 23 grams and has a length of 7″. The crash friendly ultra tough flexible foam body houses a lightweight lithium polymer battery that allows a good 10 minutes flying time when fully charged. The charging is done by simply plugging the Tandem Z-1 into the infrared transmitter so there is no need to plug it into the mains making the whole package very mobile.
Have a look at this video to see how good this is?

These are absolutley great. I took the advantage of the discount code above on the deviltronics website and it arrived promptly. Took a few flights to get used to but it wasn’t rocket science. My son (who is addicted to it) and my mates think it is great, but they’ll have to get their own!
Thanks for the discount gizmophobe.

I love the Chinook body and from the video it flies great!
I’ve seen this exact model at a local hobby store and was really impressed. It was able to withstand crashes after crashes (it was being flown by a beginner) so that’s a testament to how well it is manufactured.
