Pico Flyer
June 14, 2006
The PicoFlyer is the worlds smallest functional RC helicopter. It’s rotors are 60mm in diameter and the helicopter can fly for around 3 minutes. Looking at the screen shots it reminds me of the insides of a tiny RC car (the Tomy ones) and from what I can tell it’s made of 3 motors (2 for the rotors and 1 for the rear rotor) and charges just like the BitChargE cars.
More Pictures can be found here.
Absolutely stable without the use of any gyros or autopilots
There are no servos, actuators, rods, links, gears or other moving part
The whole helicopter is operated and controlled by 3 electric motors
Forward flight is achieved by tilting the helicopter with the tail propeller
The rotor blades are encircled by a ring that supports and protects them
It is very efficient, all the power is used to generate lift
It is silent, the mechanical drives and the rotors generate very little noise
There are no vibrations
It is safe

[...] Again, the RC Helicopters have been shrunk in size. The Pico Flyer is the smallest but is not publically available. The Picoz (picooz?, pico-z?) Micro RC Helicopter was the smallest. Now there is the smallest RC Helicopter which costs $79.99 and is really small It isnt as small as the Pico Flyer, but it still beats the record for publically available RC helicopters. [...]
Where can I buy one. I hope you have a patent before there’s a copy made.
