The Micro Mosquito line of remote control helicopters is manufactured by Interactive Toy Concepts Limited, and because they're pre-assembled, they're ready for flying right out of the package. Compare the differences between the Micro Mosquito 4-by-4 and Micro Mosquito 3.0 models to see which one is the best fit for you.
Body and Controller
The 4-by-4's body has both a right and left tail rotor and motor it uses for movement, and its charging jack is located in its back. The 3.0, on the other hand, only uses a right rotor and motor to get around, and there are a pair of motor pinions above its head, in addition to the charging jack being located right below its head. The 4-by-4's controller uses a right and left stick to provide throttle and move itself around. The 3.0's controller, however, uses its left stick exclusively to give itself throttle, while the right stick moves it in up, down, left, and right directions.
Additional Parts/Instructions
The 4-by-4 model includes an additional upper rotor, lower rotor, rubber stopper, two spacers, two rubber tail protectors, locking pin, two right tail rotors, and two left rail rotors for replacement, in addition to detailed instructions regarding what each part does for the unit, and replace them with the spares. The 3.0 model, however, contains no spare parts and no instructions regarding part functions or replace them should they break or otherwise wear down.
Batteries and Charging
The 4-by-4 model uses a rechargeable, non-replaceable lithium-polymer battery, in addition to its one 9-volt battery and six C batteries for operation, while the 3.0 model uses only the 9-V battery and six C batteries to fly. The 4-by-4 model's battery head is angled and uses a male connector plug for charging once plugged into the front of the unit, while the 3.0 model's head is straight and connects via a cable interface to the back of the unit for charging.
Flight Instructions
The 4-by-4 model features four different flight modes with detailed instructions regarding maneuver the controls for proper plane movement, with the modes being Universal Flight Control, 3-Channel Operation Intermediate, 4-Channel Pro A Operation Professional, and 4-Channel Pro B Operation Professional. The 3.0 model, on the other hand, contains no instructions for different types of flight modes for users, providing only basic notes for take off, control altitude, trim the plane's rotors during usage, and flying forward.
