Re: RC helicopter from CVS for $24.99 Blue hat toy company

Yup, saw that heli at the local 'Rite-aid' pharmacy- of course I had to have it for 'chuckles and grins' and believe me I am grateful for the www.Raidentech.com address- I need parts-(oops, need a rotor hub. Plastic is kinda fragile- had to crash it twice to break the hub LOL ) I thought I had the blades and balancer 'balanced' pretty good- still needed more work when I managed to find the only object in the area to smack into. And I had a serious 'spin' problem I was hoping to work out when the 'Joy Angels' decided to test me. LOL --And they had a clone PicooZ under a different name- Microcopter-fun2fly distributed by Soft Air USA TX. www.info@softairusa.com . The clone flew O K, but has the same problem all of the clones have- the 'leds' are recessed in the top of the XTR and one needs to pay attention to the direction of flight. ( I know,I know, should do that anyways.) I see mods like bringing the leds up out of the 'pit' and adding more leds to give more of a 'signal'. I'm going to give that a try, what have I got to loose? I've purchased several 'clones' to check them out, and for 'spare parts' , you know. This clone was $19.95- Gotta try SVC to see if they have another 'Hover Lite --Rite Aid is out.
