Apache Helicopter

Two posts in one night.  Must be on a roll.

I saw that Aria had one of their 3 channel apache helicopters on superspecial for £35 with free delivery the other day.  I couldn’t miss it, so I ordered one.

It arrived today and its awsome.  Got a little bit of flying out of it before the battery was flat.

Quite hard to control with the extra dimension of movement, I’m used to two channel ones where the wind mainly takes it forwards.  I’ve just about got it trimmed now, just needs some fine tuning.  The build quality doesn’t look brilliant but it should be okay.  The manual was fun to read, as its made by dragonfly, its been translated from chinese/japanese I think, so most of it makes no sense, there was even a word in there which I’m sure isn’t a word in the english language.

Battery charging is around 1 hour 40 mins and you can apparently get about 20-30mins flying time.  Which I can believe as its a LiPo battery in the chopper, and its not a small one.

Its even got a little light where the machine gun is.

Cool - Josh is really into R/C helicopters, although he lost his up a tree I think…
