Radio Controlled Helicopters For Sale

Product Description

The Blade® 400 3D is designed to give intermediate to advanced heli pilots a ready-to-fly experience like no other. It comes 100% factory built and flight tested so you can get flying right away. There is nothing left to assemble or set up. The Blade 400 3D is ready for hovering and 3D aerobatics as soon as you finish charging the battery. And you can fly it just about anywhere, anytime thanks to the included Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DX6i radio system that avoids interference with other RC users, even those on other 2.4GHz systems. You also get the benefit of the DX6i’s advanced DSM2™ protocol that provides the kind of locked-in, solid response that will let you fly even the most demanding 3D maneuvers with absolute precision.

The Blade 400 3D is the first ready-to-fly mini-heli to come equipped with Spektrum’s advanced DX6i 2.4GHz DSM2 6-channel programmable computer aircraft system. Besides providing freedom from frequency restrictions and interference, the DX6i’s DSM2 technology offers other unique advantages like faster control response and innovative features such as ServoSync™. ServoSync automatically resequences transmitted data so mixed servos receive their pulses at the same time so you can fly extreme 3D aerobatics with absolute precision. The system also includes the feather-light, 4.4-gram Spektrum AR6100e Microlite Receiver.

Other DX6i features include:
• Full-range capability
• 10-model memory
• Heli and airplane programming
• Two types of swashplate mixing: standard or 120º CCPM
• 3-axis dual rates and exponential
• Travel adjust
• Servo monitor
• Two 5-point throttle curves
• Three 5-point pitch curves
• Revo mixing
• Gyro sensitivity programming
• Two programmable mixes

The DX6i is not only perfectly suited for the Blade 400—it can al ....read more

   not a toy
   Rating:5 out of 5 stars
   I’m new to RC heli flying and this is a great entry product into the hobby. First of, this is not one of those $50 toys that you see on sale in department store. This thing takes skill and concentration to fly or you will crash real fast and might hurt yourself in the process. At least for me, I crashed 3X before I could get it to a low level controlled hover. The good news is that it cost me around $20 each time I crashed to fix it. Also, there are many youtube videos on this products and that’s how I learned to fix and set up. The instruction manual is not that great because it assumes that you have background in RC heli. RC heli is a complex hobby because there are so many variables to flying a heli well. I’m now just able to do a stable hover and have a long ways to go to fly 3D which is flying sideways, upside down, and any acrobatics. Another advantage of the heli is that it’s so popular that virtually any hobby store will carry spare parts for it which you will need because you will eventually crash. I did a long of research on which heli to buy as a beginner and this is the one by far the best choice.

   brief review of Blade 400
   Rating:5 out of 5 stars
   This helicopter is very easy to assemble. Once charged, the helicopter almost flies itself and is able to take a few tough landings. The only negative is the AC charger is not included. Otherwise, a great buy.

   WOW! What a heli! (still a newbie but love this heli)
   Rating:5 out of 5 stars
   I just got my 400 3d in today and I have to say it is a really nice heli! I’m still relatively new to RC helicopters so when I fired this puppy up my first reaction was “Yikes!” This thing is VERY powerful for a mini electric! But after easing the throttle up just enough to get it “hopping” I found that it is very stable for a 3d heli. I get it into a hover in just minutes with little correction. I would definatly suggest this one to an RC pilot who wants to step up from a Coaxial like the CX/CX2. It is EXTREEMLY responsive and NOT an indoor flyer! That being said I would only suggest it to someone who is REALLY good with the CX2 or has put alot of time on a sim (or both) And if you don’t already have one, GET A FLIGHT SIM! (I’ll be ordering mine from Hobbyzone today All in all a very good heli and surprizingly stable. (much more stable than a CP/CP pro) And it can handle a little bit of wind. (no more “darn there’s a breeze! no flying for me”)
