Micro RC helicopters

True micro rc helicopters are finally starting to appear, a long time after micro cars, boats and planes became popular.

This is because model helicopter technology is far more complicated than any other rc vehicle or aircraft technology, and components are only just becoming small enough and cheap enough to allow full production of true micro rc helicopters.

The finest examples come from Precision Heli, the Syma 600 and the HoneyBee, both shown below - a stunning example of what this technology will allow; with rotor spans of just 8 inches, the Micron V2 and CX are true micro rc helicopters!

The Syma 600, left, and the HoneyBee, right - two truly micro rc helicopters!

To describe the Micro RC Helicopter as small is rather like saying that the Pacific Ocean is quite big and somewhat on the damp side. At just under 7 inches long and only 1.5 inches wide, this gnat of a flying machine is the smallest and lightest miniature RC Helicopter in the world. How they managed to make this remarkable heli so incredibly small, and yet so astonishingly easy to fly is a mystery, but they did, and we love them for it.

Fitting in the palm of your hand, the Micro RC Helicopter is made from tough expanded Polypropylene foam, and incorporates an auto stability system, making it a breeze to fly, and possibly the most disruptive office toy we've ever seen. A deserving crowd gatherer, the helicopter comes ready to fly with an innovative pre-installed two channel proportional wide beam infra red control system, and a lightweight Lithium Polymer flight battery that'll give you a good ten minutes of flying time between charges. The two powerful micro motors can be recharged in less than half an hour with the portable charger that's part of the control unit.

We've been buzzing it about the office wasting lots of valuable work time, and despite our dodgy flying techniques pranging it into assorted plants and walls, it just seems to bounce off and come back hungry for more - there's even a little blue LED strobe that flashes in-flight for night flying.

This helicopter was born (in so much as an inanimate object can be) to fly, and if it wasn't for the fact that we occasionally have to do some work around here, we'd spend all our time flying missions into alien desk territory. It really is very, very tiny, and utterly un-put-downable.
