1999 – Eco Piccolo IKARUS introduces in 1999 the smallest indoor RC helicopter, the ECO Piccolo.
Again IKARUS is the birthplace of a new RC model aircraft category, the Mini-Electric-Helicopter class, a class that is here to stay.

Numerous enhancements improve the flight characteristics.
The Piccolo range of helicopters and especially the advent of the 'pico-board' made small practical indoor helicopters a reality.

Clever electronics matched the speed of both the main and tail motors which ensured a similar sort of control.
