Product Description
Product Description
Silverlit’s futuristic Z-Century four function helicopter looks simply fantastic, and incorporates a sophisticated electronic heading lock gyro system for superb directional stability. Using technology normally associated with much larger and more expensive models, now you can take off, hover and descend, spin left and right, fly backwards, forwards and even sideways too. Silverlit’s remarkable new 4-channel infrared gyro chopper offers a superb specification and stunning styling, at a reasonable cost. Featuring an outstanding injection moulded body made of tough rigid plastic, brilliant build quality, a flashing red power indicator, an internal green charging light and switchable blue LED searchlight. The attractive Z-Century gift box includes a fully assembled helicopter supplied ready-to-fly, complete with a pre-installed 4-channel proportional wide beam infrared control system, and an informative flight manual. Suitable for both beginners and enthusiasts, steer the helicopter by simply moving the transmitter joy stick left or right, whilst operating the throttle to take off, hover and land. Stable and fun to fly indoors in a reasonable size room, the Z-Century is remarkably robust made of impact resistant plastic. The helicopter incorporates a powerful lithium polymer battery and will fly for up to ten minutes, whilst recharging direct from the transmitter,or any computer USB port, in approximately half an hour. The Z-Century chopper is available in a stunning metallic bronze colour scheme, on one infrared band only. Requires 4 x AA alkaline batteries (not included).

I've had a lot of £20-£40 RC helicopters and this is the only one still flying. So its durable but don't expect any micro heli to last forever. Unlike most of its rivals it does not have a sprung loaded throttle. I like it because it makes it easier to hover, you can even let go of the controls while hovering. The downside is YOU need to remember to cut power if you are about to crash. In most helis if you let go they default to no power.
It's a true 4channel control so you can move it around with either stick. Right stick moves it like "Pac-Man" left,right,forward,backward. Left stick moves is like "Asteroids" turn left, turn right and power. Sorry to anyone who did not grow up in the 80's!
USB charger can save you a lot of cash in "AA" batteries if you remember to ues it instead of remote. Unlike other helis which use counter rotating main blades this one has a single main blade with a "always on" tail rotor. This makes it more like a real helicopter. It has a Gyro which means it does not need constant adjustments to keep it pointing in the same direction. Its like a sparrow-hawk once it is trimmed. In summary; Great little heli, Lots of fun to fly, My favourite as its the only one of many still in the air.

Ive not been allowed to try this helicopter out, as my boyfriend wont let me, so I can only go off what he thinks.
Oh, its smaller than I expected, but that'll be because I didn't read the description well enough.
Well, he's not broken it yet and he's had it outside and been flying it round the house. He got the hang of the trim
fully by his second go and now flies it pretty competently straight at my head. He's also figured out that it kinda needs a
direct line of sight to operate.
He seems pretty happy with it and i suspect his brother will also be getting one and they'll be doing ariel dogfights in the
living room. oh happy days.

This is my first review on Amazon. I buy a huge amount from Amazon and read the reviews before I buy. They are very helpful although you have to use some discretion when you read some of them! I have quite a few of the smaller Picooz helis and they are great fun and incredibly durable. This heli steps up the experience as it can hover, go forwards, backwards, left and right. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

The wOrst helicopter ever
This must be the worst helicopter ever. From out of the box it just refused to fly in an orderly manner. Totally impossible to control or fly. Its just a show piece.

amazing
Amazing technology, surprisingly long battery life and extremely strong, surviving a number of crashes. My son, mid-30s, mastered it quickly, I need more practice. Read more

Great 4Ch. Mode 2 beginner's helicopter
First of all, ITS MODE 2= throttle on the left side!!! I've been trying to look everywhere that clearly states this but none can be found. It is a great way to learn 4Ch. control. Read more

I have purchased half a dozen before, but this is best all round. Problem always being when kids loose control and it smashes into walls or crashes to the ground. Read more
