Air Hogs Pocket Copter , world's smallest coaxial helicopter

This is the pocket copter from AirHogs, it's one of the world's smallest coaxial helicopter.
It's a 2 channel aircraft meaning you control its up and down motion, it slowly moves forward on its own. It's very controllable for its size. You have trims on the transmitter that affect the left right turning speed, they can be used to help it fly straight, but they are more affective at making the left and right turn speed equal. As soon as you start flying you'll probably notice it turns quicker one way then it does the other but a few quick clicks on the trim fixes this in no time.
It responds to your commands very quickly, and the slim transmitter sticks are very proportional and smooth. You should have no trouble making the heli fly the way you want it to. The flybar is much better than the one on the air hogs atom it doesn't have to fight it during forward flight and the plastic canopy handles wrecks very well. It's also very quiet and nonthreatening in the air so you can fly it around others safely.
The transmitter is very powerful so it's easier to fly it in areas like offices with overhead lights that usually interfere with IR controlled helis.
All together it's a lot of fun and it flies a lot like one of its larger cousins, once you get the hang of trimming and flying it that is.
It does spool up a little slower than other micro helis, it's more like a larger helicopter, but you'll probably want to hold it in your hand to launch it so that it doesn't drift around on the ground during spool up.
It flies for about 4 or 5 minutes and charges for about 30. The transmitter uses 3 AAA batteries and the charging case uses 6 AA batteries. The helicopter gets a large number of charges from the base, it's nice compared to aircraft that charge from the transmitter, they drain the battery during flight and during charging.
The case holds the transmitter and the helicopter very securely, it's impact resistant and it's great for travel. Don't throw away the 2 little square plastic things that come in the bag with all the spare parts, they clip on to the sides of the case and lock it together.
I've had a lot of fun flying it and reviewing it, I haven't found any major issues that would keep me from wanting to buy it, AirHogs is getting much better at super sub micro helicopters, they put a lot of work into this one.
Thanks for watching RC 101 with the Taoistflyer, tune in for more fun videos.

hi again my brother wants to know if the silverlit space phoenix is good to buy he likes it but he doesnt know about the air hogs jackal witch one do you think is the best and most durable

[taoistflyer]

@Ethan4963 the space phoenix is much cooler looking, even if it can't fly in reverse. it's nie that the rotors are protected as well.

whats the ultimate ultra micro heli with tiny rf tx

great vids :) thanks

[taoistflyer]

@GROOGLs e flight MSR or MCP or MCX

[Ethan4963]

plz help i cant decide between the pocket copter and the hawk eye heli witch one would you recodmend for a 13 year old with a lot of experiance ?

[taoistflyer]

@Ethan4963 the hawk eye has some real stability problems, I would say try the pocket copter.

[epic99jesus]

looks cool, but really in my opinion, 2ch helis are just stupid. 2 channels really just aren't enough to control a helicopter. if you end up near a wall, you're pretty much screwed. get a 3 or 4 channel heli.

I like the looks of the pocket copter. Unfortunately, it is not available in my country from online stores. Anyone know where I can buy it privately?

[taoistflyer]

@metronorthrr4life Lithium batteries need to be safely charged and slow and steady is safer.

[metronorthrr4life]

why does it take so long to charge??
