Why The E-Flite Blade 400 3D Is A Great Radio Controlled Helicopter

March 19, 2010 by  

The E-Flite Blade 400 was designed to offer helicopter pilots a ready to fly thrill like few others. The helicopter arrives 100% factory made and flight proven to help you to get flying immediately. There’s nothing left put together or even set up. That being said, the set up may be adjusted to match your flying skill, even if you are a novice. The Blade 400 3D is all set for hovering and 3D aerobatics once you finish charging the battery. And you may fly it almost anyplace, at any time because of the integrated Spektrum radio system which prevents interference with some other RC users, including those users on other 2.4GHz systems. Additionally you have the benefit of the advanced protocol providing you with the type of locked-in, reliable response which enables you to fly even the most challenging 3D maneuvers with total accuracy.

The Blade 400 3D is the very first ready-to-fly mini helicopter available built with the Spektrum sophisticated 6-channel user programmable computer aircraft system. Apart from offering freedom from frequency limitations and disturbance, the DSM2 technology gives other special benefits like quicker control reaction and inventive features such as ServoSync. ServoSync instantly re-sequences transmitted data so mixed servos get their pulses simultaneously to help you fly great 3D aerobatics with complete precision. The system additionally contains the light weight, Microlite Receiver.

I am brand new to RC helicopter flying and this is really a superb entry product in to the helicopter flying hobby. First of, this is simply not one of the $50 toys that you notice for sale in big department stores. This chopper requires ability and awareness to fly or else you will crash real quick and may possibly hurt yourself along the way. At least for me, I crashed three times before I could get it to a low level steady and controlled hover. The good thing is that it cost me only around $20 each occasion I crashed to repair it. Additionally, there are lots of YouTube videos about this helicopter and that’s how I figured out to repair and set it up.

The instructions manual for the E-Flite Blade 400 is not that good as it assumes you have experience in RC helicopters. Radio controlled helicopters is a complicated hobby since there are many variables in order to fly a helicopter nicely. I am now able to perform a steady hover and have a long way to go to fly 3D which can be flying sideways, inverted, and any kind of acrobatics. One more benefit of the helicopter is that it is very popular that almost any hobby stores will have spare parts for it which you will want since you will ultimately crash. I did a lot of research on what helicopter to purchase being a newbie and this is the one that is undoubtedly the best choice.
