Airtech Bladerunner.
 

Hi all,

This thread is about the
Airtech Bladerunner

http://store1.yimg.com/I/hobby-warehouse_1821_75707

Video: *Play*

Has anyone actually seen this helicopter fly in person?
In the video it looks perty easy and fairly awesome, but I think theres actually a pro pilot behind the cam controlling it, dont you?
I mean, can it really be that easy? Is it the dual rotor that makes it stable by nature?

After I went to hell and back with my dragonfly helicopter, im looking for something even a kid can fly. :)
Actually Im just looking for a cheap and fun little toy to mess with untill winter is over. ;) And this bladerunner seems to be right on the money.

Heres a picture of the remote: *View*
It shows up/down left/right and forward/reverse. Does the left/right mean it will swing its tail around, or does it mean it will bank?

They say its got a 3 to 7 minute flight time. Would it help if I charged it with an intelligent lipo charger?

I need a little persuasion in the form of "To buy or not to buy". :D Because Im not sure what to think of this thing yet.
Please post your general thoughts about this seemingly easy indoor toy. Everything is welcome. (Other indoor toy suggestions, too!)


Best Regards,
Sven Talboom.

Oops, sorry, in all excitement I forgot that there might be other topics already. :D Didnt know the bladerunner was such a widely known toy. All other topics of weird flying toys I found, ended up lonely and misserably without even 1 responce. Ill continue in the other topics to reach the BR owners.

Thanks for pointing it out.

I have 2 of them...and yes...they do fly that good! I didn't have any experience and picked my first one up and hovered it then flew it right out of the box.

RE: Airtech Bladerunner.
