Recently I was surfing on Ebay and  discovered a beautifull small ready to fly (rtf) mini helicopter for a price to good to be true. normally when something is too good to be true it is too good to be true. However in this case the possible financial damage was worth the risk. So I ordered  the mini 3 channel V-Max Metal Upgrade (€ 18,69 incl shipping) from Ebay seller ms.just from Hong Kong.

I was pleasantly surprised that within 10 days the  3ch metal mini helicopter was delivered in a good and working shape. The 3ch mini helicopter is great fun to fly indoor, not much space is needed.

SMALL REVIEW
A small helicopter (+/- 20cm) deserves a small review, especially when it increases the fun in life. The 3ch mini metal helicopter comes very complete and all you need to buy are 6 (rechargeable) AA penlites to power the remote. In the box you’ll find a helicopter, IR remote, extra main blades, extra tail rotor blades, screwdriver & USB charging cable. The how to use info is printed on the box. Loading the 3ch mini helicopter can be done by connecting to the IR remote or you can hook it up to you computer. The last option safes a lot of batteries. The loading time with the USB cable takes about 50 minutes and the fly time (nonstop) is approx 7 minutes.

The 3ch mini metal helicopter flies on coaxial technique (two opposing dual rotors) and is very easy to control.  You can hoover quite nice, turn left and right, go foreward and backward. The helicopter is equipt with a nice powerfull motors and reacts quick and powerfull to stick input on the remote. You have to develop a sensitive stick touch. The mini helicopter is easy to control, produces a nice sound and rotor winds. You can blow papers from tables very easy which is always great fun.

The 3ch mini metal helicopter just looks awesome and has some great leds placed on the sides of the canopy.

TIPS
The first few times you use the LiPo battery it will not give the max flying time. After a few reloads the LiPo is at full potential. Stop flying when the helicopter looses energy rapidly and always store your helicopter with a full LiPo battery. This will increase the lifespan of the LiPo.

CONCLUSION
The 3ch mini metal helicopter Z-Max is great fun to fly indoor (room), It was a nice Ebay adventure where I met an A-sellers with me ending up as a happy buyer.
