This heli is the cheapest 6 Channel Model Heli you can find in the market. Here is the list of it’s standard package:

In brief:
- The heli is having two motors. One for the main shaft and the other is for the tail shaft. This configuration is much simpler it terms of mechanical, but the fact that the motors is only communicating by the mercy of the speed controller it will decrease the stability of such configuration.
- EK2-0406 is the entry level 6CH transmitter from Esky. It does 6 channel control but it lacks throttle & pitch curve control usually found on 6 channel transmitter. It is coupled with EK2-0702A receiver (or controller) which will react to the command sent through the transmitter.
- EK-0702A is a “4 in 1″ controller. It contains Mixer, Receiver, Gyro, ESC alltogether. The advantages of this system is much cheaper than separate device for each function and much simpler, but the drawbacks it is hard to change the main motor to brushless type.
- EK2-0500 is the servo which will control the CCPM system found in this heli.
- EK1-0180 is the main battery for the heli, but seems like the Indonesian version will equipped with Li-po instead
- Charger, adapter is just the usual thing found on the battery equipped device.
Features
- You can begin to fly after fixing the battery and unwrapping the packing
- 3D aerial acrobatics is available
- Flight is stable, reaction is sensitive and rapid, and controllability is good
- Designed with beginner and 3D fun flyers in mind
- Simple structure ensures convenient adjustment and maintenance
Summary
- It does what a 6 channel heli should do (collective-pitch) and the manufacturer says it will do it just fine. But the lack of throttle & pitch curve control will limit it capabilities.
- From price-to-performance ratio this heli should be perfect for the intermediate player. But for the serious one, it should be considered that the transmitter system limit the customization and upgrade path for the future.
