Heli-Max BLACK HAWK

by FliteTest | July 17, 2013 | (13) Posted in Reviews

The Heli-Max BLACK HAWK is a highly detailed 1/43 scale R/C brushless aerobatic helicopter.

Includes TAGS for exceptionally stable flights, features a 4-blade collective pitch rotor head, along with a tube-driven variable pitch tail rotor and much more!


This helicopter is extremely detailed for it's small size with exit door grabs, detailed cockpit, engine intakes and even windshield wipers.


We also had a chance to fly the EC145 EUROCOPTER, a 1/43 scale helicopter from Heli-Max.


The AnyLink system allows us to fly these helicopters with virtually any transmitter.


The BLACK HAWK looks amazing in the air, even with it's small size the helicopter looks very realistic.


The BLACK HAWK is very stable to fly but is designed for experienced helicopter pilots.


Like any small scale aircraft, handling the helicopter can be a challenge. 


This is an aerobatic helicopter! But don't let the small scale fool you, this and the EUROCOPTER are not beginner helicopters.


Comparing the BLACK HAWK to the EUROCOPTER, the EURO seemed to fly more "twitchy".

Though the EC145 heli didn't do very well after its first crash.


The BLACK HAWK handles like a much larger scale helicopter and flys very nicely. 


The collective pitch makes adds to the helicopters realistic scale look and also creates a great flying experience.

So guys, is there an rc model on the market that you would pay $300.00 plus tax for and not complain about the price?

No. It's because $300 is a lot of money. Not because they're not worth it.
