If stripped for air drop, the Jet Jeep weighed less than 300 pounds (140 kg). It could be assembled by two men in 20 minutes.

The helicopter is recharged by plugging it into the controller. Charging generally takes 10–15 minutes and will give the Picoo Z a flight duration anywhere between five and seven minutes. Range is limited due to the use of infrared instead of the more common radio frequency remote control. Because of this, ambient light may also have varying ...
