Piccolino: 1.69 gram RC helicopter


I have a new micro helicopter flying since a couple of months. The plan was (and still is!) to make a small site on it, but I just don't seem to find the time in between all the other things I am doing. I wanted to see how far (small) I could stretch the autostability concept I used for the Silverlit helicopters. So I ended up at 1.69 grams in the air! To be honest that was without the canopy (about 0.06 gram more with canopy)

Here are some of the specs of Piccolino.

Rotor 63mm
100mg receiver (!) by Nick Leichty (Thanks Nick, gave me excellent support)
4mm motor for main rotor
3.2mm motor for direct drive tail
10mAh LiPo battery

ALexander
