Arcade Table from IWOOT

Possibly the only piece of cool design to come out of the 80’s is back.

PicooZ R/C Helicopter

PicooZ R/C Helicopter

To describe the X Rotor Micro Helicopter – or Pico Z for short – as small is rather like saying that the Pacific Ocean is quite big and somewhat on the damp side. At just 17cm (under 7 inches) long and only 4cm (1.5ins) wide, this gnat of a flying machine is the smallest and lightest miniature R/C Helicopter in the world. How they managed to make this remarkable heli so incredibly small, and yet so astonishingly easy to fly is a mystery, but they did, and we love them for it.
