Wee Jock
A small indoor electric helicopter — the kind of compact rotorcraft that brings helicopter flying to confined spaces.
About
The Wee Jock is a small indoor electric helicopter in the kind of accessible micro-rotorcraft category that has been part of the hobby since the rise of brushless motors and lithium-polymer batteries made true indoor heli flying practical. Like every well-loved indoor heli, the Wee Jock earns its place in the hobby by being three things at once: small enough to fly safely indoors in school gymnasiums and large rooms, simple enough that a pilot can take it out of the box and have it hovering the same evening, and durable enough to survive the inevitable contacts with walls and ceilings.
The recipe for an indoor heli is well established. Compact electric powerplant, simple swashplate geometry, gyroscopic stabilization, and the kind of low-rotor-RPM character that suits the slow speeds and tight maneuvering of indoor flying. Indoor helicopters typically use brushed or small brushless motors, single-stage geared transmissions, and lightweight foam-and-plastic construction.
