ECO 8 Electric R/C Helicopter: For expert or beginner -- your best choice in electric R/C helicopters!
ECO out-performs most glow powered helicopters! And, it's electric so you can fly anywhere, anytime. No noise, no pollution. Fly indoors when it's cold and rainy outside. ECO is a contest performance helicopter that is also the best helicopter ever for beginners because it's powerful, easy to fly, and has the clearest assembly instructions you'll ever see! ECO is a strong, fully aerobatic helicopter with collective pitch. It can do all helicopter aerobatics -- aggressively! The Sport Motor is the best choice for good overall performance for the beginner. ECO needs only a 8 cell nicad pack! ECO was designed and is manufactured in Germany by two time German RC helicopter champion Norbert Gruntjens. ECO is the best choice for a helicopter beginner: It flies better than other electric's, has longer flight times on a battery charge, is extremely durable, and it includes a mechanical mixing system that lets you use inexpensive RC airplane radios. ECO has the clearest instructions we've seen. You will be able to assemble it perfectly and install your radio equipment in a few evenings. ECO includes two mixing systems: With the mechanical mixing system ECO can use any standard 4 channel RC airplane radio with mini servos. Or you can use an expert helicopter radio that has CCPM mixing with the 90* CCPM collective/cyclic pitch control system that's also included. Rotor diameter: 41.75", Length overall: 35.85", Weight without nicad pack: 31 oz., Normal flying weight (depending on equipment used) about 43 oz. Requires 8.4 to 9.6V Nicad 1100 to 2300 mAh.
