For this review I decided to choose a object that I really wanted to try a child and so far I have not had the opportunity: A radio-controlled helicopter. I left my advice for fellow DX and reomendaron me start with something tiny, so I started looking and looking mini-RC helicopters and ended up choosing. This (the price is $ 27.82, which change would become a 21.62 €), although they have told me that this one can be even a little better (is likely to make a comparative review soon-the experience has me charmed-).
The remote control is a "burger" with two grips on the sides. In the central part we have some red LEDs that are encendieendo as we give power to the mini-helicopter.
Under this centerpiece we find a lid, which houses a cable to charge the helicopter. On the sides find two joysticks, the left serves to power and the right to direct the mini-helicopter in all directions (we can make it rotate on itself or that you do as you go).
Above the centerpiece with LEDs just discussed, we have the button on / off and also what allows us to switch between the different channels you can use. Above all and to the right is a kind of thread with which we can prevent before taking off the mini-helicopter rotate on itself.
If we focus on the helicopter, the first thing that is striking is that the chassis is made of metal. The housing, blades (come two parts, like a screwdriver), tail rotor and skids are plastic (very resistant, has taken some good shots on the evidence).
We all know how are the helicopters, so only I will focus on explaining a few things that caught my attention: has a double rotor which gives a lot of stability, underneath is the charger (takes just 20 minutes to load-the flights last between 5 and 10-) and has few side leds to be you see from afar and you do not bring anyone's eye.
It is extremely easy to use. You can charge the helicopter connecting it to the computer via the USB cable that comes with the pack or you can do it through remote control (I've done already 5 times with the remote control and batteries are still good). Once done, turn it on, you think that the LEDs are tacky, also turn on the controller, you calibrate the rotation and give cane to take off. The double rotor starts to spin and this will raise the device. To control pitch the tail rotor, which rotates to one side or the other depending on whether you want to go forward or backward is used.
At first it costs a little catch you the hang of the issue of power and is more than likely give him the ceiling (it will not work outdoors as sunlight and controls with infrared not get along very well, see Wii and their controls) or trying to land him soltéis a good whack (do not worry, the worst that can happen is that the part that is between the two pairs of blades double rotor bending a little, the turn away to put in place and it will fly just as well).
When you've already caught the point, you will see how power is a joy to fly with him.
The feeling was very good and the truth is that I've had as a kid playing with him, trying to land it on a raised surface or molesting some office mate.
Helicopter quality is good and the experience is great, I spend boob. As I liked this rollete of the pilot it probably try one bigger (they are more difficult to "drive"). Certainly this is another thing to take me to Barcelona or yes, although it may seem a bit pricey.
