Picoflyer - The World's Smallest RC Helicopter (VIDEO)
The World's Smallest RC Helicopter

“The 60 mm rotor diameter Picoflyer is the smallest RC helicopter ever presented, it is a one-off prototype and it is not intended for sale.” (Proxyflyer)  Um, okay, but when is it going to be for sale?

Key benefits of the helicopter:
* 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

They never made this one but they did make the Ed Hardy Special Edition Intelli Heli 3CH RTF Electric Mini RC Helicopter for $69 that works like this but was designed for quantity production (also put lights on the thing). What goes up must come down, preferably without crashing. Looking for a real helicopter ride in Los Angeles, tryout Helinet Aviation.
