Show more The AFX-105 is a faithful replica of one of the most famous helicopters - the Bölkow Bo 105. The newly designed 4-blade rotor head is controlled by a precise stabilization system and gives the model a completely new control feel thanks to Auto Start and Auto Landing. Thus it is now also possible for beginners to control a multi-blade helicopter without great prior knowledge. By pressing a button on the handy 2.4 GHz transmitter with metal sticks, the model can be launched effortlessly to a certain base altitude. There the model remains (hold altitude mode) and the model pilot can thus concentrate on the essential functions of the helicopter, without having to pay attention to the altitude. The gyro system also controls the tail rotor in the background and keeps the model stable in the air. For more agility in flight, the model has 3 speed levels (dual rate), which are equally interesting for beginners and advanced pilots. Thus, the model is also suitable for outdoor (in calm conditions) and reaches high speeds in forward flight. For landing, the start / landing button on the transmitter can be pressed again and the model sinks gently to the ground. The motor has soft start and soft cut. This means that during takeoff, the rotor turns slowly, preventing the model from spinning on its own axis. The same is true during landing, the rotor coasts down smoothly and the motor is automatically shut off. As an additional safety feature, the heli has a voltage monitor that permanently checks the battery in flight. When the base voltage is reached, the LED in the heli starts flashing, signaling to aim for landing as soon as possible. If the pilot does not react, the system lands the helicopter automatically to protect the battery.
