had 2, gave one to a friend it was wobbling a bit but there is a file mod for it...lol
the one I have is the red one Went through all 3 colors (the blue didn't fly)(the Green one wobbled) but remember this aint everyone..I noticed the prop was machined weird on them 2,Blue,green ones .....the red one seams to be the best built
and flys great man i got some flying time in on my baby....
these things rock
sux in the wind though or around a Cold or hot air vent...even when you walk by it fast ....can cause it to go into spinning or drunk mode...lol
one thing to look for it fakes,,, the pico is the real one
so watch it...theres forums on these telling you what to look for and how to mod them....talk about a big item now days

wow i can just tell by the prop...its a knockoff....lol
good info there carl...some knockoffs are called knockoffs, because of the weight and the prop not being balanced causing the copter not to fly or not fly up fast...thank god there is a trimmer control to stop it from spinning

i have an Eflight Blade CP Pro...........

with the collective pitch this thing is a little tricky to fly but once you "get it" its ALOT of fun
i've put heavier duty landing gear on mine along with carbon fiber blades.....
next mod is a brushless motor for more power
id like to someday move up to a bigger .50 size gas bird but can't remember where i put that extra 1000bucks or so

ya Dude, thats the real toy and scary to fly ....and if you built it and crash it, that the bummer part...my first flite with a big guy was with a string on it so i could guide it around well that went into a tail spin and i said Fu*k it.lol
hell ME and my pops were building some kits that were 300-700 bucks 2-7 channel without the radio gear..lol

They seemed to fly pretty well. One had a gentle oscillation front to back, but a net forward movement in the long run.
One a side note, I found that if you have a large area, you can give those things a downward-angled launch from your hand (like tossing a glider), and they will correct and do a steep bank back around (always to the right), and keep that figure going for a couple turns. Pretty wild little guys! Mine finally bit the dust from too many wall hits, though.

I was getting them for just under $20. I tried 3 and only one flew just OK.
There is an updated version from the one you posted S & K...it has a metal stabilizer bar with stainless weights on the ends. I have not tried that one.
Overall, I just did not think there was enough control of them and no way would I pay $50.
Here's ya a video of a 4-year old flying a real good heli...

wall banger! only time min did that was when the dam AIR VENT turned on...lol
mine after a replacement from blue to red (micro X copter first pico knockoff)
flew high and fast...hell it freaked me out the speed it lifted off the ground or my hand....the body where the little switch turns (off/on) is hard to switch on or off but works (thank you nails)
and yep if you set the trim right it does a nice bank in a large room I call it auto bank...lol the highest i got this sucker inside was 30 foot and fley it about 5" from the ceiling all around
course that was after applying the right amount of liquid tape for weight, to the underneath of the nose that gave me a perfect
balanced flight
now the blue one not saying by any means that colors mater but going through a lot of forums blue was bad...lol
anyways it lifted slow and was rough as in wobbling bad it would trim out but looked like it would dogtrack (like a 71 nova with the leaf spring center pins broke off)
I trimed the prop a bit and added weight or trimmed off weight
here and there and it flew a lot better but slower...
the other blue one i got just sat on the ground full speed spinning till i trimmed it out and just sat there looking at me like what i can't lift off no matter what
i bent the prop at the right angles but it was a no go
weird as i did see some flaws in the prop from the molding ...that must of been the problem....I returned it and this is how i came up with my killer RED one...
one day ,on a calm day i do what to see if this sucker rises 100' as stated without loosing RC contact
