Are you also as gadget-y as me? I rarely buy the gadgets I want, most of the time they are expensive and they will be boring after 1 day, like gadgets are almost supposed to xD

But this...
is so cool Tongue
(boath of em)

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/3Ou2yRuLRnQ&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/3Ou2yRuLRnQ&rel=1</a>

Boath of em weigh 10 grams and are made of pyrophoam. Sweeeeeet Tongue
25-30 euro's. (30 for chopper, also needs 2 more batteries and it should be able to fly longer with a shorter period of charging)(and its got nice flasy led's xD)

What's the gadget yóu're wanting to buy?

My brother has bought a picooz chopper and this little thing isn`t breakable. It is really funny to fly with this little machine.

But if you want a real gadget you need to buy a 6 or 7 chanel heli.

Im gonna buy the palmz plane. If i take a cheap chopper, i might take the 50 euro's chinook-model picooz. (Tandem Z-1) Thats 3 channels, atleast a bit better then 2.

Just bought me the plane

allthough... slightly different

Silverlit X-Twin Classic Trainer (Channel B, looks german Tongue)
2-decks, no rutter but 3 props. Front prop isnt working... just for the looks they made it, and you stear by making one prop go faster, but you just got a left/right lever.



It's so awesome, charging right now (had some power in it, but insufficient to fly it..) Ill edit when charging is done, seen some nice vids about it..

Edit 1:
Hm... WTF
Charged it, took off in the living room.... 45 times, made one decent turn... Something wrong with the trimmingthingy, i trimmed it all the way to the right (thats how the remote got out of the box) but it made little curves to the left :S suddenly it made curves to the right..... then i trimmed it to Medium, it went straight ahead Tongue

I bought it @ toys-r-us for 30,00.
Well... it sucked, it couldnt make a circle indoors, either the circle would get to big, or it wouldnt have enough power to stay up. The faster you go with it, the bigger the circles.
It also doesnt have a ruther, like i might have posted before, dont remember:P

I returned it and got the picooz. It's awesome! Simple but awesome, and untrimmable, one time it turns to left then to right, but i dont really bother. Also depends on if you are climbing or descending.
The chopper was 33 by the way, little more expensive then normally but I didnt know where else to get it in Groningen.

(Blokker and Bart Smit also appear to sell them, they said @ modelbouwforum.nl and kruidvat once had it, but i dont think its there anymore.)

By the way, i've seen vids of the Palm-Z (25,-) and that should make turns indoors a lot better.
(The room i tested it in was about.. 5 X 6 metres.)

I havn't tested it outside, but I didnt want one for outside (doubledeck planes catch even more wind then the single decks).
