someone actually built something just like that. the guy has done some other larger ones that are very cool as well, his site is worth looking around in, even if it is in german. http://www.smartflyer.de/sm.html

20 grams, 4 AeroAce motors and props, 66mm in diameter, 4 channel infared RX, 3 gyros, 2 cell 145mah lipo. he did the programming of the RX and gyro controlls himself. very cool!

the maker of that tiny heli is the same guy who invented the Piccolo heli that helped start the micro heli craze, Alexander Van de Rostyne. he's also the guy who inveted the Gyrotor and PiccoZ, here's his site, he's got some cool stuff on it: http://pixelito.reference.be/ the heli in the picture is his own, not likely to be seen on the market for propbably quite a while, as he hand built it with carbon fiber and i believe used his own IR system for controll.

nope, pixelito is a one-off. its an amazing heli, fully controllable, all by two motors and an actuator in the rotor to control the flybars. a lot of people have attempted to build a copy, only a handfull have been able to do it.

the closest we can get right now is his Gyrotor and PiccoZ.

if you like his site, Peter Muren (inventor of the BladeRunner helis) has some cool stuff on his site too, including his 2.5" rotor heli. http://www.proxflyer.com/index.htm

some other incredible airplanes here: http://www.aeronutz.flyer.co.uk/

well, i'm biased, as i love the BR line of helis, so i think they're totally worth it. they're marketed towards younger kids, but honestly, there's a lot of little things that need to be done to keep the heli flying properly, things that most younger kids wouldnt know how to do, so i think its more for people like us!

they go forward very slowly, if at all, the motors can burn out pretty quickly (unless its the new KA-50 BR), the rotors can break and the lipo can fail, but i still love it, they're fun to tinker with. the mini BR being sold at Radio Shack is pretty darn good i think, better than the BR, worth the 50 bucks in my opinion. here's a thread on it: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4219729/tm.htm

soooo, if you had to suggest one, which would you suggest the bladerunner or the bladerunner ll.

what are all of the little things you need to do to keep it flying properly?

the blade runner 2 has more "upgrades" than the first. the only thing you need to do is let the motors cool for 10 minutes after each run or youll burn out the motors

my personal choice is the Mini BR. its only 2 channel, but without the tail motor its lighter, cheaper and doesnt draw extra current. plus, the tail motor on the BRs only work so well to begin with, so not having one doesnt make too much of a differance.
plus, its smaller, so it looks cooler
