During the Easter long weekend there was lots of rain around and the events that I had planned going to were all washed out but I did manage to get some great flying experience at a local indoor flying club. Everybody that was there had a RoboCopter and clubs are starting up exclusively for this fantastic little micro helicopter. the whole unit costs around $60 including the batteries and so it is very affordable and an excellent first helicopter for newbies to the sport.

This amazing little remote control micro helicopter is just perfect for playing inside on a rainy day. It operates on the new 2.4GHz transmitting system and the fuselarge looks like a robot. The total weight of this unit is just 12.5 grams and it features a Micro Helis electronic mixing fly bar rotor head for a smooth, stable realistic flight.





The 2 channel 2.4GHz radio control (not infra-red) operates on the new frequency and also features a digital audible flight trims and onboard charging. The transmitter has a unique binding system that links the helicopter to the remote control so that up to 80 RoboCopters can be flown in close proximity. This means that clubs and family groups can compete in indoor competitions without any fear of interference from other remote control units. Each RoboCopter can also be trimmed with an onboard slide weight to increase its speed for optimum flight performance. This is a great feature for ‘drag racing’ and ‘spot landing’ competitions and other club events.



If the batteries have gone completely flat or another remote control unit is used to control the RoboCopter then it will be necessary to repeat the binding procedure.
Binding procedure for 2.4G radio: With the RoboCopter and transmitter "turned off" press down the left steering trim button and then holding it down "turn on" the transmitter. Next release the left steering trim button and you will hear a string of beeps bebebebe. While the transmitter is beeping turn on the RoboCopter, wait for 2 seconds, then move the steering stick to one side. The beeping will stop and the binding procedure is complete when the red LED indicator on the receiver board glows solidly.
