Product Description: Be warned. This is no ordinary radio controlled helicopter. This is the TandemZ. A full three channel, auto stable system with twin propellers and an advanced multi-role set-up that requires skill, brains and determination to master. In appearance, the TandemZ closely resembles the iconic Sea Knight Helicopter, a vehicle famed for its assault transportation of combat troops and its ability to land on aircraft carriers. The twin propeller system is a striking feature of this unique style of helicopter, and providing greater stability, greater control and added power when airborne. With the TandemZ being a full 3 channel radio controlled unit, users are able to control the flight altitude, forwards and backwards movement and the direction of flight. Easier said than done. The handheld control unit (which doubles as the charging base for the TandemZ) is more complex than the standard R/C chopper, incorporating controls for Yaw trimming (direction), Pitch trimming (hovering angle), Throttle (altitude), Direction (forward/backward movement) and an additional headlight switch for flying in the dark. With guidance from the instruction booklet and a little practice, users will quickly appreciate the added control that the TandemZ offers and once mastered, can attempt more challenging stunts than ever before.

i have purchased several r/c helicopters/aircraft. this rates the best, i can control this better than the others. i am now looking for a larger outdoor model.
hours of entertainment.
i managed to dislodge front stabaliser within minutes, no need for this as i then found it much easier to control the helicopter. this is my favourite SO FAR!!!!!

This is a logical evolution of the original single-rotor Picoo Z, which set a new standard for remote control helicopter price/preformance. Its design is a fascinating departure from conventional solutions, and has great educational merit.
With helicopters, performance means stability, not speed. It is said that aeroplanes want to fly, helicopters want to fall..... And that is doubly true of models, which are much twitchier than bigger ones.
Full-scale twin-rotor machines like the military Chinook demonstrate much improved pitch stability over ordinary single-rotors, and the twin-rotor Picoo benefits from this. If you have tried the single-rotor Picoo-Z and found it a bit lively, this is much more stable and easier ... Read More:

After getting my father the helicopter I soon decided to get one my self, but since I found it hard to fly accurately so I decided to purchase the Tandem as its twin blades indicated better control.
Default flying
Helicopter - Circling or forward (I found forward difficult to achieve and too fast to avoid all objects)
Tandem - After mastering the two trims (which need occasional readjusting) I have achieve a near perfect hover, though most times I found a genital spin or forward momentum preferred for flight
Steering
Helicopter - I found I could achieve my desired direction rarely and only through changing the circles it spun in. Most times I hit walls before I got to my desired location. Fun but high ... Read More:
