The PicooZ mimics the traveling patterns of a real helicopter.
Hong Kong's Silverlit toy company released the PicooZ in 2006 for both children and helicopter enthusiasts. The company bills the PicooZ as one of the world's smallest remote controlled helicopters. The toy device is ready for flying right out of the box after a short charging session. The manufacturer designed the toy to be easy to handle and fly, even if you don't have a pilot's license.
Instructions
1. Place batteries inside the PicooZ's remote transmitter. Unscrew the transmitter's back panel with a Phillips screwdriver. Insert six AA-size batteries according to the polarity "+" and "-" symbols inside the transmitter's battery compartment. Screw the cover back onto the transmitter when you're done.
2. Charge the lithium-ion polymer battery inside the PicooZ helicopter. Locate the PicooZ's charging port, found on the helicopter's left side when it's facing you. Pull out the charging wire from the remote transmitter and insert it into the helicopter's charging port. The transmitter's green LED light will become illuminated and will turn off when charging is complete.
3. Put the PicooZ onto a flat surface, like a countertop or the ground. The helicopter must always get started on a flat surface for an even and stable takeoff.
4. Push the throttle on the remote, located on the left side of the remote transmitter, forward. This engages the PicooZ's spinning motor and makes it lift off of the ground.
5. Control the PicooZ in flight. Press the helicopter's rudder stick, located on the right side of the remote transmitter, to the right to make the helicopter fly forward. Press the rudder switch to the left to make the helicopter turn in a counterclockwise fashion.
6. Land the helicopter. Gently pull the throttle switch backward while the helicopter is hovering over a flat surface. This brings its spinning rotor to a slower rate and causes the PicooZ to fall downward. If the helicopter falls too quickly, push the throttle back up to slow its descent.
