A great-looking, ready-to-fly small-scale model of this iconic full-size MD500 helicopter that is full of outstanding features, these make the MD500 not only look great but makes it fly great as well. The full-size MD500 was developed originally by the Hughes Helicopter Co. as a light utility helicopter for civilian use, but when McDonnell Douglas took over production it quickly became popular with the military, coastguards, and law enforcement agencies.

The features of the MD500 include a metal 5-blade flybarless rotor head, twin brushless motors, a 6-axis gyro, and a barometric altitude hold with optional optical positioning. This gives the MD500 incredible stability and an amazing amount of power making it perfect for beginners or the more experienced pilots. In more experienced hands it is capable of all the usual more advanced helicopter maneuvers. Other features include a dedicated V2 transmitter with auto take-off and landing, out-of-control protection (which allows the gyro and stability systems to take over at the flick of a switch), 3 flight modes, a low voltage alarm, and a modular battery design with intelligent power management.

A great-looking, ready-to-fly small-scale model of the Eurocopter EC135 in a blue and white livery. This is one of the most popular helicopters being used today by the military, law enforcement agencies, and air ambulances. The full-size EC135 has been developed from the MBB Bo 108 which was the first rotorcraft that could perform aerobatic maneuvers such as loops and rolls due to its innovative rigid rotor system. The other stand-out feature of the EC135 is the "Fenestron" tail-rotor system that is more efficient, has greater controllability, and also offers more protection to the tail system than conventional tail blades.

The model is packed full of outstanding features, these make the EC135 not only look great but make it fly brilliantly as well. These include a 4-blade flybarless metal rotor head, a 6-axis gyro, and a barometric altitude hold. This gives the EC135 incredible stability making it perfect for beginners, and it's also perfect for the more experienced pilots. The included 2.4GHz transmitter gives you full control of the helicopter, it allows you to climb or descend, fly backwards, forwards, fly left and right, and rotate both ways around its axis. The new style V2 transmitter also includes a one-key 3D feature making for even more fun flying, and a 3-step flight mode button.
