Product Description
The awesome PicooZ Insecta is a remote controlled helicopter designed for impressive indoor flying! It's a highly responsive mechanical marvel concealed in an cool, ultra lightweight, bug-eyed insect exterior! The PicooZ Insecta has a shell, engineered to withstand bumps and crashes for the less experienced flier. As it's super light - and so won't cause any damage if crashed inside! The body conceals a high-grade rechargeable lithium battery and a minute propeller motor that enable it to fly around for around 10 minutes from a single charge! It's quick and easy to charge up your new flying machine! Just connect the helicopter to the hand held remote control unit and wait for the charging indicator to let you know the on board battery is being charged. Joysticks on the remote mean you can take control of altitude, direction and trimming, making airborne navigation as simple as possible!

 Nice little flier, and great value June 28, 2008

Got this because my PicooZ had long since died, and even though I've graduate since to a 4-channel co-axial, I missed the little guy. So, got this as a replacement, as I fancied something a little different looking.
As noted by another reviewer, you get no choice in which of the three infrared channels you will receive, which could cause problems if you want to use more than one at a time (is anyone at Amazon listening? Could we have a choice of the A,B or C versions, please?).
It flies great, better than my old PicooZ, but whether this is due to a better design, or simply that my original one got a bit mangled as I learnt, I have no idea: Maybe I had better buy a heli-style one as well, just for comparison purposes, of course (ahem!).
Comes with a spare tail rotor, which is very useful, and small weights, which can be applied to the nose, to increase forward speed (with 2-channel, there is no forward-reverse; only up-down and left-right spin).
Given how cheap these have now become, get one to play with if you've not bothered up until now: They will fly in a very small space, and will not damage anything you may hit. Outside is a no-no though, even a small breeze from an open window will put them off-course.
 they lie! March 27, 2008

The Helicopter itself is a great toy, but if you want to fly with friends I suggest you go to a proper shop as here you cannot select which channel you want.
'using infrared triband technology on 3 channels (A, B & C) three helicopters can be flown at the same time!'
Although the controller can be flipped between channels, the Insecta Helicopter is fixed to a preset one.
Therefore this statement is completely false, and the only reason why I would not recommend buying this product here.
