Might have to put one on my Xmas Wish List.

I have a similar one. It has a funtional tail rotor. If you are looking for things easy just to fly around indoor in a small room without damaging your furniture, this will help. My sons knew nothing about an RC heli flew it and bounced it back and forth with the celiening and wall. Mine after you fly for several minutes, you need to stop for a few minutes for the battery to refresh. Don't be confused with the word 3D on the box.

Ya no clue why they put 3d on the box but if this is more controllable than the Piccoz and Mini BR's It will still be a blast to fly. Controlled forward flight FTW

[Truthunter]

Looks like that model does not have any type of cyclic control (no swash)... so it seems that the tail rotor is used to generate lift in order to tilt the model which in turn generates forward flight?
I think the marketing folk use the term 3D in a different sense than an experianced rc heli pilot does. 3D to them means three dimesional movement... one more dimension than a rc ground vehicle... altitude.

Yes its just another toy along the lines of the Picco z's but it has 3 ch .. and the tail rotor does create the froward flight just like the old 3ch BR's, but from what I have read it works better also works for backwards flight. /shrug I will let you know when mine arrives ..

I am hooked on these small indoor living room flying heli's and this one seems pretty good from what I have read and the Price is right .. Here is an ebay seller who has 100% feedback and is selling them for $35 shipped. He has like 94 left

Ebay Seller! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280047214855&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX&refitem=300047300618&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget/)

Wow that link was kicking my butt..

thats [pretty cheap..how small are they?

[Phenom]

Specifications:

Dimensions:
Length:26cm 26 cm = 10.2 in
Width: 22cm 22 cm = 8.7 in I assume thats blade length/radious
Height: 12cm 12 cm = 4.7 in
Flight Range: 60 ft
Flight Time: 8 - 10 minutes

So its not as small as a Picoo Z but still pretty small.

I wish they had a Pic of it in someones hand .. I will try and take one when I get it.

I can kind of tell how small it is comparing to the Transmitter
