If your idea of fun is going out into a large area and flying a RC helicopter and you are an intermediary or an experienced pilot then consider going for the Blade 400 mini helicopter from Eflite. The Blade 400 is factory built to quality standards and it is ready to fly as soon you receive it, all you have to do is have a little patience when you have unpacked while the copter charges to full capacity and off you go.

Being an advanced pilot means that you will be able to take full advantage of the 3D flight capabilities of this mini helicopter and amaze those around you by completing some of the most amazing stunts and maneuvers. One thing that makes this model stand out is the control unit; it features a Spektrum 2.4GHz radio system that has been specifically designed so as not to interfere with other RC users, even with those who are using the same frequency to power their RC helicopters or planes.

If stunts and maneuvers are your thing then you will love the technology that comes with the Blade 400, as this allows you to make complex moves, hover easily and perform stunts with the greatest of ease. This comes by way of what is called advanced DSM2 protocol that the radio system provides; it is also 6 channels programmable. This also gives the user faster response over the controls and gives the users advanced features such as ServoSync. ServoSync allows the controller to have precise control over the helicopter at all time when performing 3D aerobatics with their helicopter. This is possible due to the ServoSync being able to synchronize the mixed servers so that they receive the same pulses at the same time. The controller receiver is also only 4 g which makes it extremely feather weight and feels great in the hand.

Of course the advanced features of the Blade 400 do not stop there; the set has full range capability and also has helicopter and airplane programming with 10 model memory. Eflite always use top quality engineering in their products and the Blade 400 is no exception. The gyro in the helicopter has sensitivity programming which can be adapted to the pilots own taste and allows for an excellent flying experience with the helicopter fitting right in with your particular type of handling. The gyro also has heading lock control.

Unlike a lot of the smaller helicopters to be found the Blade 400 will not be grounded if the breeze picks up, as it is big enough to handle itself, however it is not advisable to take any RC helicopter out in strong winds. While the features speak for themselves and are enough reasons to buy the 400 of course another strong advantage to buying is the fact that it comes from Eflite. The company has one of the best customer services around and back up all the products they sell with quality awards. If you are into flying as a hobby then the Blade 400 3D RTF electric mini is an excellent choice, whether you are a beginner to flying, intermediate or a professional pilot.

The Blade 400 mini helicopter is suitable for novice pilots and professionals alike. With gyro heading locking and sensitivity programming this model gives you one of the possible flying experiences. Eflite are well known for their quality engineering and this can clearly be seen in the Blade 400.
