1.0 out of 5 stars Make a paper plane instead, 20 Feb 2009

By	Return of the saint (UK) - See all my reviews

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Bladestar (Toy)

Very exciting concept which dramatically fails to deliver. The "too good to be true" mantra very much applies. Saw a friend's one after they'd bought it. Looked great. Bought ours, played with it, enjoyed it but it became increasingly lacking in its responsiveness. The charging hub is encased in polystyrene and held in place by glue. The pressure then needed to get the charger into the hub is ultimately more than the polystyrene glue combo can handle and after 10 charges it had broken. Good while it lasted but at 17 pounds you wonder how it can do everything it claims it can do. Simple, It can't. Boredom factor never got a chance to kick in for me and my son, it broke before that. Asked my friend how his son was getting on with his..."Don't know he's not had it out again since you saw it" was the reply.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly fragile, funny flying controls, but entirely fascinating!, 12 April 2009

By	Big Ben "fly_mo" (Bedford, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Bladestar (Toy)

We love the ingenious design - there may well be a Doctoral Thesis in the way that this flies in such a stable fashion.
With its two blades mounted on flapping hinges and skeletal propeller bar, it is one of the most unlikely things ever to fly. Well, fly in such a stable manner, anyway. The delta-3 offset and mass balancing are part of this, and the technology used is the basis of its highly educational aspect. A truly unique and very clever design.

So how does it go in the air? We agree that it is stable (does not fall over) in flight, but does it do what is commanded on the remote control?
The short answer is, eventually.
There is lag in the control response that calls for anticipation of that delay, otherwise there is a tendency to over-control. The simple push-button direction controls are on-off in nature - so no great precision is possible, and the power control is linear but tends to lag due to the delay in spinning up/down of a fairly big rotor. So if it is plummeting towards the ground, it can start spinning harder just before it hits! That is, if you remembered to keep the controller aimed at it.

You *have* to keep the controller aimed at the machine all the time - this takes more getting used to than (say) a Picoo Z.

The instructions state that this is for indoor use only, and we agree. It has a very low forward speed, and the lightest breeze will blow it away. But it does prefer a big room, and we ended up in the biggest bedroom in the house to avoid all the clutter and ceiling lights elsewhere in the house.
It does not like ceiling lights that hang down - they seem to attract it, then knock it out of the sky!

Comes in a strong plastic carry case that protected it well in the mail, and is well up to the job. You need to remove the blades to store it again, NB.

Loads of fun if you can relax and get used to the delayed control response; a highly technical solution to a minimalist helicopter at a reasonable price.

Recommended for those interested in unusual flying machines. This tiny aircraft is as far out as it gets, and it works, albeit not perfectly.
