miniECHO is
the latest one of my projects. It is a palm - sized sub micro heli
designed for 3D flying - first of this kind in the world.
I have to admint this project became my
obsession and since then i'm still making improvements and redesigning
the entire concept.
I already decided to start the
production of this little heli though i really can't tell when exactly
it will be available for sale or
what would be the price.

The first prototype has
already been test-flown on June 10, 2008. Soon after it became obvious
that miniECHO posess very good flight
characteristics, lots of power and is
capable of performing 3D maneuvers.
You can find more info about it and watch the
build threadhere.
