Default RE: Radio Shack Now Has Bladerunner Heli, $49!

its not a BladeRunner, no, its a mini BladeRunner. you can see in the pics there's to tail motor. techincally, it is a BR, because of the rotor design, they just simplified things a bit.

i think the reason they didnt add the tail motor is because the BR doesnt have much forward flight to begin with. even with the tail motor. without adding the tail motor, they could make a less complicated RX with only 2 channels, save some weight, shrink the whole thing a bit, and make it only 50 bucks. if nothing else, you could use the RX to make a load of twin engine airplanes like the AA.

how big is the rotor diameter?
