Summary: Nice little flier, and great value
Comment: Got this because my PicooZ had long since died, and even though I've graduate since to a 4-channel co-axial, I missed the little guy. So, got this as a replacement, as I fancied something a little different looking.

As noted by another reviewer, you get no choice in which of the three infrared channels you will receive, which could cause problems if you want to use more than one at a time (is anyone at Amazon listening? Could we have a choice of the A,B or C versions, please?).

It flies great, better than my old PicooZ, but whether this is due to a better design, or simply that my original one got a bit mangled as I learnt, I have no idea: Maybe I had better buy a heli-style one as well, just for comparison purposes, of course (ahem!).

Comes with a spare tail rotor, which is very useful, and small weights, which can be applied to the nose, to increase forward speed (with 2-channel, there is no forward-reverse; only up-down and left-right spin).

Given how cheap these have now become, get one to play with if you've not bothered up until now: They will fly in a very small space, and will not damage anything you may hit. Outside is a no-no though, even a small breeze from an open window will put them off-course.

Summary: they lie!
Comment: The Helicopter itself is a great toy, but if you want to fly with friends I suggest you go to a proper shop as here you cannot select which channel you want.

'using infrared triband technology on 3 channels (A, B & C) three helicopters can be flown at the same time!'

Although the controller can be flipped between channels, the Insecta Helicopter is fixed to a preset one.

Therefore this statement is completely false, and the only reason why I would not recommend buying this product here.




Editorial Reviews:

It's freaky, it's weird, it flies! The Insecta is more than just a remote control flier, it's a chopper crossed with an insect! This incredible hybrid flier has the technical capabilities of a PicooZ helicopter and the bug like exterior of a weird insect. The Insecta features membrane-like rotors, a colourful, camouflaged body and an awesome LED strobe light. Launch the Insecta and this crazy 'copter will scare any other fliers out of the sky.

Includes:
Twin channel, wide beam infra-red transmitter.
Quick recharging battery.

Colours and styles may vary.
