The Co-Comanche is one of the coolest looking RC helicopters on the market. Unlike the usual boring shells that come with most helis, this one comes with a realistic looking camouflaged army style. The model is based on the RAH-66 Co-Comanche which is a new helicopter being used for reconnaissance missions and assaults on land forces.
The helicopter was designed by ESky as a 4CH helicopter with a co-axial, double rotor blade system. This makes it very easy to fly so can been flown by anyone with minimum practice and are therefore a great way to get into the hobby. You can have all the fun and thrills of flying a proper rc helicopter but without the hours of practice. There are many twin blade RC helicopters on the market now but the Comanche is in a league of it's own with much better performance and agility. Not to be confused with the toy twin blade helis, this is a proper model featuring a proper 4 channel controller, long lasting lithium battery and gyro.
The Comanche comes with everything included in the box including the fully built heli, instructions, 4 ch controller, lithium battery, lithium charger, UK 240V ac/dc adaptor, 12V car battery adaptor, AA batteries for the controller, a flight simulator software programme and even a couple of spare blades in case you break one. It comes in a cool display box which makes it a great gift for any teen or big kid!
The Comanche comes with a high quality 4ch controller. You can choose between the Mhz version with changeable frequency crystals or the Ghz version which does not require different crystals to be used with other models in the same area. Both are UK mode 2 which means that the throttel control is on the left hand side. This is a proper radio set that you should not confuse with the ones that come with the toy RC helicopters which have a very short range. These ones have a range of hundreds of meters!
This helicopter was designed with a divided canopy and fuselage connected by a carbon fibre rod which is practical and looks great. There are three sliding wheels in the landing strut, which can slide automatically while taking off and landing. The ornamental tail houses a ducted rotor blade that actually rotates automatically when flying the helicopter! ESKY's original transmitter to computer cable is included in the pack. Installing the flight simulator software from the enclosed disc on your computer and connecting the simulator port in the transmitter to the computer will allow you to practice your flying on your computer before going for your real flight!
