First Toy Chopper With Cyclic Control Unveiled

We’ve seen toy choppers before, but none of them featured cyclic control, which is basically responsible for the “unbalanced lift (that) causes the helicopter to tip and move laterally”. The Kyosho Minium AD Caliber 120 begs to differ from that, making it the world’s first toy chopper that features realistic lateral control.

The radio-controlled model plane (4-channel, 2.4 GHz) can be safely used in living rooms. It is able to ascend, descend, stop in midair, back up, and also to bank to the right and left. Kyosho says it’s the first micro-sized model chopper that features cyclic control.

Unfortunately, it’s Japan-only for now, but enthusiasts know that geographic availability is no excuse to keep a potential gem away from them. You can view the product page for more details.
