Science Museum Nano-Copter

[brucebone1]

mine was £20

[matthewfishwick1]

I have one of these and they are seriously strong. I have crashed this mini machine like 100 times and its still works. Great fun. Although they take about 20 mins to charge, and lasts about 8 mins max when flying.

[ChristopherJHood]

Half price January sale possibly.......

[GutturalStench]

[aerodude137]

!WOW! makes me really want to buy it!!!

[MKwarlord]

could you get this from argos!

[Gadher4yoyo]

£30

[MKwarlord]

is this nano copter from argos

[ChristopherJHood]

yup...this is the one...think its in the sale at the moment too. Enjoy!

[coolbrandon1994]

which is better picco z or nano

[ChristopherJHood]

nano of couse....far better price point!

[max0071700]

i got one of these altho im having trouble trimming it the button doesnt seem to be responding and it keeps flying of to the right! any help thnx.

[ChristopherJHood]

Make sure the end is level with the centre of the helicopter. If you look at the instructions it will tell you how to do this. You bend it one way then the other and that makes sure it is straight before flying.

[faheens22]

can you fly this thing outside?

[ChristopherJHood]

Yes you can but obviously because they are so light make sure its not really windy or you're in a sheltered area. To be honest I have flown one on a summers day and they go really high, the wind did take it a little but they come straight back down when they go out of range and it didnt break no matter how many times I did it! :-)

[faheens22]

you know that trim feature that the picoo z copters have, does the nano copter have a switch or anything to stop it from spinning araund in the air like the trim feature on the picco z?

[ChristopherJHood]

It certainaly does! Its the buttons below the left joystick. Two small black buttons. This should stop the copter from spinning!

[alteregoniceperson]

These little buggers are REALLY fun. Kept me amused for longer than I'd like to say.

[julianwill1976]

does anyone knwo where i can get a spare main rotor as i have broken mine already. tried looking on line but i cant find a suplier

[ChristopherJHood]

hehe - how did you manage to break it...they fold on impact. Must have been an impressive crash. You cant buy spare rotors because they are built as part of the unit. If it has broken where it shouldn't and is therefore a defect then you should be able to return it for an exchange.

[SmileyYellowBall]

Mine just flies up for a few seconds and then cuts out. Very frustrating, and i have no idea how to fix it. Any help would be great! Cheers

[ChristopherJHood]

If you have followed the instructions and its still not working then I suggest you take it back to where you purchased it from and get a replacement. It shouldn't do that - especially if you are charging it properly! Thanks

[eddy20022]

Ive got one and love it! Still finding it pretty hard to control though.

[007han]

hi have just got 1 for xmas there awesome though there hard to fly at first for me good job there not easily broken

[alteregoniceperson]

same. though when u can finally fly it well... FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!!

[MKwarlord]

wiked might buy it then!!!

[Lewis637]

When i need to charge mine the light goes out after a minute and so the copter only flyes for about a minute can anyone help

[ChristopherJHood]

Make sure that the speed joystick is turned down and the light it solid when charging. If you still get the problem then i would return it to where you bought it from and get a replacement.

[Razzamania]

Iv got one now there frekin asome there just as goood as the add says

[kirmich93]

Is it good or is it one of them picoo'z fakes.

[ChristopherJHood]

This totally works. There is no trickery in the video...it's great fun. You can always get one and take it back if you don't like it (bet you won't though). Its a good coffee table toy for when you get bored :-) Best one I have seen...

[kirmich93]

How about the Danbar nano-copter series. Are they any good because someone was playing with one and it looked good.

[ChristopherJHood]

They're better because you have more control over these and the main thing is the fold-on-impact rotor blades...means the copter doesn't break when it hits a wall.

[coolmancool1234567]

K listen, I got one of those, it is HORRIBLE! THe instructions are poorly translated chinese, and the controls are sloppy. Sometimes, I don't even do anything and it starts flying out of control. I would not suggest a danbar!

[ChristopherJHood]

I take it you are talking about a Danbar Helicopter rather than this one?

[coolmancool1234567]

yes, i'm talking of danbar.

[ChristopherJHood]

Good Stuff!

[Dobinater]

is this better than that picco z thing?

[ChristopherJHood]

Yes...and cheaper too! :-)

[elgranto7]

can they move forward or do they just spin?

[ChristopherJHood]

Once you get good at it you can fly them wherever you like. You can hover or fly it around the room!

[elgranto7]

awesome i'm gonna buy one for christmas, how long can you fly it for on one charge?

[ChristopherJHood]

It will fly for 12 minutes on one 8 minute charge. Have a look at the video around the 45 second mark.

[elliot0712]

:O how kewl..and trust me i will take mine to the till :]

[takeadvantage225]

Loving it! Getting one!!
