Conrad Quadrocopter 450

The electric helicopter model "Quadrocopter 450 ARF" is as far as possible pre-assembled. In the professional field, such "drones" are already used for the most diverse of tasks. The latest micro processor controlled electronics with position control and acceleration sensor stabilise the quadrotor helicopter. High quality brushless dc motors paired with a specially developed drive enable a long and powerful flight operation and reserve for payloads e.g. cameras etc. The novel steering and the electronic self stabilisation result in excellent flight handling characteristics. Different flying programmes ensure that both beginners and experts will be able to have their fun. The quadrotor helicopter can be used both indoors and outdoors. The in-built electronic controls can intercept small undesired changes to the flight altitude, however they will not be completely changed. As the quadrotor helicopter weighs less than a kilo, it is to some degree sensitive to wind. Therefore, ideal flying conditions are complete lack of wind to very gentle and even wind. The lightweight designer frame made from aluminium and synthetic components is sturdy and enables excellent flight handling characteristics. The frame is collapsible and therefore space saving and easy to transport. The designer frame contains the complete set of electronics and has space for expansion plates. Through the grid construction, at a light weight load there is good stability and good protection for the electronics.Due to its construction, the model is designed for the experienced model helicopter pilot who does not just want to carry out helicopter-like, sensational moves. However, this extremely manoeuvrable model is also suitable for beginners! However, before the first flight, we recommend that beginners follow an appropriate training program in a flight simulator for helicopters and-or seek active assistance from an experienced model helicopter pilot. The model can be expanded by additional electronics (expansion interface available on the control unit) and the mounting of several mechanisms on the platform mount fixture on the underside of the grid frame
