Eurocopter Vortex Gyro 3-Channel Outdoor Radio Controlled Helicopter
Small
radio controlled helicopters are all well and good, but sometimes we all like to get our hands on something more substantial. The RC Vortex chopper is about as close as you can get, at twice the overall length of your everyday infra-red models: 13.25 inches, excluding rotors, it’s a whopper chopper. What’s more, it’s licensed by full-size chopper manufacturer Eurocopter, with hobby-grade detail that utterly raises the bar in design. This ready to fly helicopter takes flying to another level, distinguishing the RC Vortex from the rest: its ability in performing outdoors is absolutely second-to-none. A flashing red power indicator and bright blue LED searchlight means you’ll never lose sight, and the piezo auto-stability system allows you to really show off those flying skills.
Of course three-channel digital proportional radio control may sound like a bit of a mouthful, but it’s so much more than mere jargon. You can take off, hover and descend again, before leaping forwards or backwards. Turn left or right, and embrace sheer ease of manoeuvrability. With a range of 25 metres, you’ll have it whizzing above and beyond you in no time at all.
Intimidated yet? You shouldn’t be. The chopper comes with an instruction manual and DVD, to help you get to grips with your new machine. An innovative flight trainer can also be attached to the undercarriage of the Vortex, making take-off and landing both smoother and safer. Once you’ve got the hang of the RC Vortex you can remove these flying aids to take full control.
First-time or not, what are you waiting for? You’ll grab a whole ten minutes of flying action, and it’ll be ready to rip again in less than half an hour.
