Rating: - Good at first
This was a birthday present, and was instantly a hit! However, on the first day of use the propeller blades started to loosen. Eventually it kept coming off every time it was used. We have tried to fix it ourselves but to no avail. This is a great shame as it would be a great little present for children and adults alike!

Right , Ive got a bit of time to write while the PicooZ charges up again so I thought I would write the sort of review I would like to read if I was contemplating buying one. If your not in for a longish read then i'll summaries it for you now in one sentence;

Rating: - Picco Z - What a Toy
I was not even planning to buy this toy, let alone know about it in the first place...

About the Picco Z itself... Well im pretty impressed with its durability because ive crashed it a million times already and except for the tail rotor everything has held up to what they say it will... But saying that i guess the people who make or sell this stuff know that the tail rotor will not survive the rigerous crashes so the spare rotor was a welcome smile...
U do need practice and a bit of modification ... Read More:
Rating: - faster then then the normal pico's but comes with a price
faster and better then the normal pico z's but they don'nt take as much punishment. So just make sure you don't crash to much with this one as they can't take it. ive gone through 2 tail motors and a rotor.
Rating: - Excellent !!
These little helicopters are excellent, i bought 3 as xmas pressie and have been asked lots of times 'where did you get that from, i'd love one!" my kids all have one as they can be flown on different frequencies, they are more robust then they look, would reccomend them to anyone for any age!
