This is the Blade 500 3D Ready-To-Fly Electric Helicopter. The Blade 500 3D RTF is designed to give experienced pilots the most powerful, ready-to-fly Blade experience available. It comes out of the box assembled and has been equipped for aggressive 3D with an E-flite 520H, 1320Kv brushless motor and a high-output 6S 30C Li-Po battery. This awesome power is complemented by the kind of state-of-the-art electronics and engineering you would expect to find in more expensive kits that take hours to build. You simply charge the battery, install the main rotor blades and fly.
In Depth Features:
- 425mm Carbon Fiber Main Blades: These high-performance rotor blades minimize weight without giving up strength so you can aggressively push the limit of your 3D abilities with complete confidence and absolute precision.
- Single-Piece, Carbon Side Frames: Rigid, lightweight, carbon side frames play a big part in keeping control response crisp and precise.
- CNC-Machined Aluminum Head Block: A rigid, lightweight aluminum head block provides maximum precision during 3D maneuvers.
- CNC-Machined Aluminum Swash Plate: The aluminum swashplate is tough enough to handle the rigors of extreme 3D maneuvers and delivers precise cyclic and collective response at every corner of the flight envelope.
- Triple Ball Bearing Supported Hardened Steel Main Shaft: Ball bearings support the main shaft at the top and bottom of the drive gears, as well as the top of the frame.
- Spektrum Digital Servos: Spektrum S300 digital servos on the swash maintain maximum control authority during the most aggressive maneuvers while the extra speed of the S400G digital tail servo provides instantaneous tail response.
- E-flite® 520H 1320Kv Brushless Motor: This proven brushless motor will consistently produce more than enough power for demanding 3D maneuvers.
- E-flite® 6S 22.2V 2900mAh 30C Li-Po Battery: The high-discharge rate of the included battery pack provides the output you need to explore the farthest reaches of aggressive 3D flight.
- E-flite® 70A S-BEC Speed Control: This robust speed controller is engineered to efficiently channel the high-current flow of most any high-C 6S Li-Po battery.
- Aluminum Tail Boom: The stiff, aluminum tail boom keeps tail response crisp and precise.
- Belt-Driven Tail Rotor with Thrust Bearings in the Grips: The smooth, efficient belt drive is complemented by the durability and precision of thrust bearings in the tail blade grips.
- Weighted Tail Blade Hardware: Specially weighted blade mounting screws boost the speed and precision of the tail's response and reduces tail servo load during hard 3D maneuvers.
