Heli-Max 1SQ Quadcopter

Posted by Brian @ 10:30 am. Filed in: Heli-Max, New Products

New from Heli Max RC is the 1SQ Quadcopter. It comes in RTF (Ready to Fly) and Tx-R (Transmitter Ready) versions. So if you already have a transmitter, you can save yourself some cash. The 1SQ uses the Heli-Max TAGS technology for helping stabilize all three axes (yaw, roll and pitch). It’s small enough to fit in the pal of your hand. The picture makes it look big, but it’s just over 5 inches. You can fly it indoors, or even outside in a light wind. It comes with a 1s 250mah Lipo, a USB compatible charger, and a extra set of blades. Look for it to hit shelves in October for about $100!

Heli-Max Novus 125 FP

Posted by Jeff @ 5:23 pm. Filed in: Heli-Max, rc helicopter

Heli-Max also has a new heli that is a great step up from a beginner’s coaxial. It’s thee Novus 125 FP. FP stands for Fixed Pitch. A fixed pitch heli isn’t as manueverable as one that has collective pitch, but it is a bit easier to fly. The Novus 125 is a sub-micro sized heli, meaning you can fly it in relatively confined spaces indoors, but you’ll still be able to take it outside on calm days. It’s the perfect platform for your large basement or backyard. The Novus comes ready-to-fly with a 2.4 GHz 4 channel radio, a 600 mAh 3.7v lipo, and charger. It’s also got a couple of surprising features considering it’s cost and size. A heading-hold gyro is mounted and providing all kinds of gyro-y goodness and the tail rotor is driven by the main motor by way of a torque tube. Both of those are huge steps up for this class of r/c helis.

Heli-Max Novus 125 Micro Heli RTF

Posted by Brian @ 8:55 am. Filed in: Heli-Max

While it does not fall directly under the ‘basher’ category, a lot of bashers I know fly the Micro Heli’s during the winter months, even though we love to play in the snow, when it’s -15 outside, it’s just too cold to bash! So I wanted to mention this press release from Heli Max RC about some new Micro Heli’s they are coming out with. The Heli-Max Novus 125 sub micro’s come RTF with 2.4ghz radios, the FP (fixed pitch) model comes with a 4-channel radio, while the CP (collective pitch) comes with 6-channel, for all those that want to fly 3D in their living rooms! They are brushless, with heading-hold gyro’s and all sorts of other goodies! Check out the Heli Max RC site for all the details.
