Skill Level 1 – No Experience Required
Skill Level 1 aircraft, like this one, are perfect for beginners and first-time RC (Radio Controlled) helicopter pilots because no prior experience is required to fly them!
Ready-To-Fly Basic Flexibility
This Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes a Spektrum DXS controller/transmitter equipped with industry-leading DSMX 2.4GHz technology and everything else you need to fly except for a rechargeable lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and charger for the helicopter. The convenient and money-saving Spektrum Powerstage 1 bundle (SPMXPSA100) includes a compatible 3S 850mAh Smart G2 LiPo battery, an IC2 to IC3 adapter, and an S120 Smart charger that can be used with a variety of USB power sources. Or you can choose the separate 3S 850mAh (or similar) battery and compatible charger you prefer!
Exclusive Technologies
The factory-installed and expertly-tuned AR6250MHXD flybarless flight controller features exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE technologies. The updated SAFE technology features angle limits and improved self-leveling to help prevent crashes in Normal mode. AS3X smooths out the effects of wind and turbulence with no limits or self-leveling in all other flight modes so you can fly inverted and perform aerobatics too. Plus, you can use Panic Recovery to “bail out” at the push and hold of a button if you ever need it!
Telemetry Capable
The Revolution 235 is equipped with a Spektrum Smart ESC, flight controller, and a receiver that provides – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – real-time overall flight battery voltage, motor RPM, and other telemetry information to compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DXS, DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, the iX12 to 20, and others) while you fly.
Learn to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC helicopter, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology prevents over-control and crashes while also offering multiple flight modes to deliver more control and capabilities as your skills progress:
Normal (SAFE) Mode
In this flight mode, the helicopter has pitch and bank angle limits to prevent over-control that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the helicopter automatically returns to level flight on its own allowing you to relax and enjoy just 'steering' the helicopter through the sky rather than focusing on keeping it level. This flight mode also makes it much easier to take off and land!
Stunt/Idle Up 1 (AS3X) Mode
There are no pitch or bank angle limits in this flight mode so you have complete control! The head speed is higher and more constant than in the Normal mode which allows you to fly inverted (upside down) and perform basic aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls and more.
Stunt/Idle Up 2 (AS3X) Mode
In this flight mode there are no limits and the head speed is even higher so you can perform more aggressive and 3D aerobatic maneuvers.
Panic Recovery
If you lose control of the helicopter in the Stunt/Idle Up flight modes, simply press and hold the Panic Recovery button or switch to Normal mode and release the right-hand control stick. SAFE technology will automatically return the helicopter to upright and level flight!
Durable Precision
The upgraded digital, metal-geared cyclic servos along with an updated frame design featuring optimized servo and improved rotor head geometry, an aluminum swashplate and rotor head block deliver added durability, precision, and capabilities.
Collective Pitch
The CP (Collective Pitch) main rotor mechanics offer smooth control to deliver a unique blend of hovering, sport, and aerobatic flying capabilities you can't get with FP (Fixed Pitch) mechanics.
Fully Assembled
The Revolution 235 arrives 100% factory-assembled, flight-tested, and ready to fly right out of the box! It's equipped with industry-leading Spektrum 2.4GHz technology that's already bound to the DXS controller/transmitter included with the RTF Basic version, and both versions bind to most 6+ channel DSMX/DSM2 equipped transmitters.
High Power
The more powerful and efficient brushless main motor plus the tail motor are connected to a factory-installed Spektrum Dual Smart ESC and are compatible with popular and affordable 3S 850mAh Smart and similar non-Smart LiPo batteries with IC2 connectors (or use a compatible IC2 adapter).
Option Parts
You can customize and personalize the Revolution 235 CP with different colors of main rotor blades, tail rotors, canopies, and landing gear. There are also optional carbon fiber main rotor blades, aluminum blade grips, main motor and tail motor mounts, plus updated light kits for flying at night (option parts are sold separately).
Replacement Parts
If you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.
