Blade 400 RC Helicopter
The Blade 400 RC helicopter is one of the best values on the market for people who are just starting out in this fun hobby or perhaps just getting back into RC helicopters after many years and are intimidated by how much the hobby has changed over the past decade with advancements such as electric flight, computerized radios, heading lock gyros, and cyclic collective pitch mixing to name a few.I was so impressed after flying the Blade; I purchased one to share the experience. I was looking for the best hobby grade single rotor RC helicopter to recommend for first timers on a fairly tight budget to start with.
A good quality heli set up that they could grow with and one that would provide years of flying fun. As it turned out, the Blade 400 was so much more then that. It really is such a good RC helicopter for so many people – yes I too am hooked on electric flight now thanks to this little rascal and it was the perfect stepping stone to get into larger electric birds such a the T-Rex 600ESP for example.
There are several 400 size electric helis that I consider to be the best on the market right now to learn and grow on. This means everything from your first ground hover exercises up to 3D if you take it that far. Value and quality were just as important if not more so. Remember value is not the lowest up front cost, but the long term costs associated with operating and maintaining the model.
