Horizonhobby.com - Preview -- Force Helicopters -- Get Ready for Battle!

Horizon Hobby has introduced the new Force brand of helicopters. Initially there are two new micro, coaxial helicopters designed to provide a really fun battle/play experience. The Force MH-35 and FHX helicopters have similar performance to the popular mCX and mCX2 helis that have created so much interest in RC helicopters. They are ultra-lightweight, "battle-hardened," with self-stabilizing flight characteristics and a mil-spec gyro system making them easy to fly even for new heli pilots. Each has a built-in battle module that will send and receive infrared signals, allowing you to shoot down your opponent in mid-flight and blow up the ground target.

These RTF models include a 5-channel transmitter with "firing triggers" that, in combination with the helicopter's infrared battle module, enable the in-flight battle game play. The system can be programmed to allow teams of friendly and enemy pilots to individually target and hit opposing helicopters and ground targets. The ground targets are also programmable to allow hits by either or both teams resulting in many kinds of "battle missions" to be played. While in battle, the helis will react to being shot by spinning in place and eventually being grounded by safely powering down.

Our video will outline the features and give you a chance to see just what these "military" helicopters look like. This is going to be fun so take a look and see what you think.

Features:

• 100% factory assembled, test flown and ready to fly right from the box

• Multi-capability Battle sensor both sends and receives infrared signals.

• Coaxial, counter-rotating rotor head design makes for easier flying

• Specially designed 5-channel battle transmitter included.

• 120mAh 14C single-cell 3.7V lithium polymer battery pack

• Integrated charger built right into the transmitter.

• Full line of replacement parts available

will that TX work with the msr? I like the charger tx combo a lot!

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@pieman12345678987654 I believe it will

[HorizonRCdotCom]

Please keep the comments coming, we appreciate it. This is a new sort of idea and interesting tosee your take.

[flyingchimp99]

how many heli's can fly together at a time? is it a 4 on 4 maximum?

[RoboTekno]

@Mogul20478 Sorry, not interested...

[Mogul20478]

@RoboTekno I was just saying it was a fair price. "No thanks." doesn't really fit into the context of what I said. I am just saying that the mechanics involved to get these things to fly is incredible. You can buy $30 micro rc helicopters, but they will be 3 channel, and replacement parts will be nonexistent.

Hobby grade isn't for everyone, but it is totally worth it.

[RoboTekno]

@Mogul20478 Umm. no thanks.

[Mogul20478]

@RoboTekno

No your crazy. The ECU's in these helicopters are worth $60 by themselves. $140 is totally a fair price for a RTF 5 channel combat helicopter like this. It is a hobby grade RC helicopter and a price like this is totally fair.

@Ispintechno1 i totally agree. i learned to fly with the slo-v. would still fly one today if it came with lipo compatable. and make the parachute drop module included. that is the perfect airframe for it!

[driftingdonuts]

I have one, so does a friend, wish i had the ground target, we already have epic battles of death lol.

[Ispintechno1]

PS. redo the slo-v. It is the most docile airframe ever made and maneuverable on full rates, more than the GWS Slow Stick thanks to the V-tail. It's wing loading puts clouds to shame and gives confidence to new enthusiast. It's the best teaching aid I have but the 27fm radio blows and servos are total crap. Ni-mh is archaic. The airframe is pure gold.

Version 2 Slo-V. Not combat for kids. This you will find your future market. And keep it slooooow. It's charming.
