RE: PiccoZ Micro R/C heli
googledperson,
it is two channel, up/down/left/right. but, due to some lateral thinking, you can go forward or back by turning clockwise or counterclockwise. it doesnt sound like much, but once its trimmed right, and have figured out how to get it to do what you want it to, its pretty easy to control. if you put nose weight on, it loses most of its ability to hover, but the nose weight helps a lot for forward flight. left/right is controlled with a tail motor/prop. the guy in the video does a good job.
Ferndale,
i cant tell if its tape or what on the tail boom. might be the original sticker they have put on it, but i'm starting to wonder how effective a larger tail "rudder" would do. it might cut down on unwanted spinning. since the RX and TX are IR, rather than RF, the sun makes a big differance in range. the IR band is pretty strong, but direct sunlight, or even a sun lit room can cause lots of glitches. flying outside at dusk is possible, and very fun (especially with an excess of nose weight!).
