The latest incarnation of the Pico is because :-)

Basically, the new Pico from the show effect is simply amazing. Not only that, he is very smart and shaped with its transparent rotors in insect wings look simple modern look than the original angular pico. In the giant insect eyes, a LED is incorporated in the the Insecta color lights and flashes, also vary depending on how much you give gas.

The effect is absolutely awesome and looks just gorgeous! Really makes a lot of fun, also the sound of the fly is significantly different and really reminds away on a buzz.

Among the differences (and disadvantages) compared to the original Pico of the first generation:

+ The Insecta is significantly quieter than the original Pico and hums rather to himself, no comparison to a great-Pico is already a couple of times flown
+ The look and show effect is again significantly increased

0 of Insecta is quite front heavy from the weight distribution forth, so no additional weight is required, for my taste, it is a bit too fast, and therefore difficult to control, which is why I'm going to attach the rear weights.

- The Insecta is slightly heavier (approximately 1g) as the Ur-Pico, therefore somewhat slower and the battery life is low.

- - Just as it did in the recent "Metro" variant an inferior rear engine is also installed in the Insecta. This is recognizable by the razor-thin current-carrying wires (hair thickness) with which it is supplied. When Ur-Pico these were much thicker and also the engine itself is different from her appearance and was larger.

Problem here is the characteristic of the motor, it tends to be quite sluggish behavior As for the high acceleration, also it can be bad rules in a wider range.

This means that you can fly barely controlled left turns because despite fine dosing the speed drops spontaneously strong and the Insecta more than 180 ° turns away to the left, before he begins again.

Furthermore, also lacks power in critical situations when you want to fly a tight right-hander and first does not happen much, despite maximum steer.

In summary: clockwise virtually uncontrollable, clockwise, it accelerates strongly and it lacks the power for tight bends.

By comparison, the great-Pico (eg police and DHL from 2006) can be controlled much more precisely. Fast and strong steering interventions are easily possible without the original Pico flings, also are also gentle dose right and left turns no problem. It is with him no problem to fly near people without great risk that you lose control. By Insecta you should definitely avoid such actions!

Conclusion: Recommended for all Pico connoisseurs who can fly well, but only as a show and fun object, unfortunately precise flying is not possible because it is very fast and the tail rotor deficient.

All beginners I can only recommend the Ur-Pico variants, unfortunately I do not know if now there the bad tail motors. Ideal would be old stocks of the first or second series.
