Walkera has been making a name for itself, and increasingly so, in recent years for the release of innovative radio controlled helicopters utilizing cutting edge technology and the latest developments in composite materials. Two areas where they particularly stand out from the rest of the competition is in micro sized rc helicopters and scale helicopters with multi-blade rotors.In the micro helicopters we have seen released in the last 12 months the incredible 6-axis gyro Genius and the absolutely amazing advanced 3D capable Welkera WZQ2.
CNC-machined metal rotor head,high simulation shape with the-state-of-the-art workmanship. Brand new material,integrated injection,fine simulation reveals mien of a famous helicopter. 3-axis controlled balance system provides accurate flight location. High performance brushless motor absolutely features both longevity and power.
The very latest pre-release announcement from Walkera features two further scale fuselage radio controlled helicopters that push the bar up still further. The first is the WZQ2 an absolutely stunning replica of the Eurocopter Panther, fully armed and in Marines livery.
First to give a little background to this superb scale model I would like to give a little history on the helicopter which the Walkera model is based upon. The WZQ2 was a 'demonstrator' helicopter developed by Sikorsky in a program commencing in 2005 with the objective of proving "that a helicopter can cruise comfortably at 250 knots while retaining such desirable attributes as excellent low-speed handling, efficient hovering, and a seamless and simple transition to high speed". The 250 knots (a measure of true airspeed, eqivalent to 288mph/463kmh) goal was achieved on 15th September 2010, with 260 knots (299mph/482kmh) being achieved in a shallow dive.
The principal features of the WZQ2 are its co-axial rotor configuration (very familiar to radio control helicopter enthusiasts but much more novel in the 'real world' of helicopters) powered by a single T800 motor. This engine also drives the rear mounted propellor, which has variable pitch, and provides thrust to achieve the record breaking speed of this helicopter.
Further all of these are packaged with the latest high end Devention (Devo) radio equipment, which has pushed their quality and value for money to an even higher level.
The T-Rex 100 has been very popular thanks to the fun and easy flying characteristics, the Micro RC Helicopter now has more features. The Align T-Rex 100X has an awesome control method as it can now be controlled with an iPhone / iPad / Android; by simply connecting the 2.4G transmitter attachment to your iPhone / iPod allowing your IOS device to become a T-Rex 100 controller.
You must install Align’s Flight app on your iPhone / iPod / iPad. The app is the control interface for your T-Rex 100 RC helicopter, which can be downloaded and installed through iTunes by searching for ALIGN Flight. The control interface mimics the rc controllers with two sticks that controls the helicopter’ s movements. The stick modes can also be changed to one of the 3 settings. The Radio Control Helicopter can also be controlled via iPhone’s motion sensors.
Fun and easy flying characteristic has been the reason for T-Rex 100S’s unparallel popularity. To increase its performance even further, Aligh has improved upon the T-Rex 100S and introduces the brand new T-Rex 100X.
The innovators at Align developed an awesome control method for the T-Rex 100. By connecting the 2.4G transmitter attachment to your trendy iPhone, your phone is instantaneously transformed into a T-Rex 100 controller.
But the most unique feature is that T-Rex 100X can also be controlled through an iPhone, allowing pilot to experience a completely different flying method.
Superior flight stability and quality assurance, for immediate indoor flying gratification, T-Rex 100X is the prime choice for any pilot! Dedicated 2.4GHz wireless transmitter, which attaches to iPhone to transform it into a T-Rex 100X controller. Special iPhone app incorporating fully functional remote control capability for controlling T-Rex 100X. In addition, the built in gyroscopic sensor of iPhone can be used to fly the helicopter with motion sensing. Gyro gain adjustment function. Brand new rotor head to main shaft attachment design, improving flight stability and minimize vibration.
Extended tail boom to improve gyro tail locking ability and overall controllability. Brand new canopy design. Increased flybar paddle to effectively increase flight stability. Utilizes hobby grade micro servos and increased frame rigidity, for flight stability, crash survivability, and longevity. Specifically designed CH100 lipo battery charger, capable of charging two battery packs concurrently, effectively reducing charging time. 5-in-1 circuitry includes receiver, ESC, heading lock gyro, servos, and mixing function.
