Tech Shout!

It’s a bird! No… It’s a plane, no its superman, no it’s not even that. It is actually the Picco Z Miniature Helicopter that’s been flying around in the Techshout.com HQ. This dragonfly-like sounding aircraft has been buzzing everyone (irritating some) from quite some time now.

Below is a concise video on the Picco Z and the procedure of using it.

If you thought, Techshout.com HQ was full of gadgets, you are right, but now we also have game toys, and not just toys, this toy is for the big boys and girls. Of course the workplace is too small for us to fly it continuously; we are planning to go to a peaceful outdoor location to fly this baby. As of now, when we are bored, we just take the remote and start flying the copter all over the place. It’s is actually not that harmful, we just destroyed a webcam and a bulb and a glass and… well just “scratched” my editors LCD monitor (She doesn’t know who did it as yet!).

The worst part is that flight duration time is 8 to 10 minutes while the Charge time is 20-30 minutes for full charge. We also got a Built in Charge and a Spare Tail Rotor. It is very hard to maneuver, no wonder we ended up breaking a lot of office stuff.

Hey, we got Xbox 360, PS3 and the Wii, but Picco Z is the one that gives the most pleasure.
