◆I skipped it
The first thing you should practice on a pico falcon flight is to use the up / down lever. While avoiding sudden operation as much as possible, while trying repeatedly ascending and descending while experiencing the time lag from the input until the actual pico falcon rising / descending, I tried piloting until I could land without falling It was.

The best way to landing without falling is to take the attitude of the back by pulling the direction lever towards you just before landing. Then, Pico Falcon landing firmly with a landing gear even a little, even if it got in vigorous ground.

Pico Falcon with high stability is easy to land on the palm as it gets used to it.

Even though Pico Falcon, which is capable of flying indoors with outstanding stability, aiming at a specific landing point and trying to land, unexpectedly, the pilot's hand got tense, and the pressure propelled by his propeller Because the aircraft shakes delicately, it is quite difficult, and it's definitely passionate.

I overturned with a recess in the seating surface, but I managed to land on the chair somehow. Pico Falcon seems to be unlikely to damage the propeller and the aircraft unless you do so by losing your luck, even if it crashes, thanks to the super lightweight aircraft.

◆I compared the sizes
I compared Pico Falcon (front) and Nano Falcon Alpha (Oku) side by side and compare their sizes. Although the total height is not so different ... ...


The full length clearly shows that Pico Falcon is short.


At the same time that Pico Falcon is released on December 5, 2014, the title of "World's Smallest Toy Helie" will be handed over from Nano Falcon Alfa to Pico Falcon.


Nano Falcon alpha is bigger than Pico Falcon, so it seems powerful to fly. However, since severe operation is required beyond Pico Falcon, considerable practice is necessary to realize the flight you want.


◆Simultaneous flight of three
Pico Falcon can use three bands separately and skip three at the same time. It is also possible to skip Pico Falcon & Nano Falcon Alpha at the same time, in this case as well, it is possible to fly simultaneously with up to 3 units.

In the following movie you can see how the competition to land on the airport made of corrugated cardboard can be confirmed with 3 units of 2 pico falcons and 1 nano falcon alpha.

If you fly 3 Pico Falcon & Nano Falcon Alpha at the same time like this, YouTube


If you fly with more than one unit, you can not skip it as you think that the posture is disturbed considerably by the wind from each other's propeller. As a result, it is inevitable for the battle to heat up.

At last the main propeller was damaged because it was too hot.


In addition, the main propeller can be removed with the supplied screwdriver, replacement parts will be offered at the following official on-line shop, so it is OK to skip over with confidence.
