Overview
MD500E Police Blue 450 Size Helicopter from RotorScale - PNP - RSH0001P
Introducing RotorScale’s new lineup for sport scale PNP helicopters! At Motion RC, we believe there is more to RC helicopters than 3D aerobatic flying, so we’re excited to bring together scale realism and modern stabilization software in an economical, user-friendly package.
With the quality of Roban fiberglass fuselages the RotorScale 450 PNP Helicopter Series seeks to bring scale helicopter flying within the reach of pilots with basic collective pitch flight experience who are looking to move upward toward larger scale 500-800 size helicopters.
Using a 4S 1600mAh battery, fly for 5-6 minutes while exploring the flight envelope of this sport scale stabilized helicopter. The durable fiberglass bodies are finished in automotive paint and clearcoat for durability, and feature sharp panel lines, rivets, and other surface details.
Digital servos provide precise and responsive action, and breakaway landing gear plates help divert damage during hard landings away from major frame components. If ever required, the internal frame can be completely removed from the body in a few minutes with eight screws. Fully backed by Motion RC’s world renowned service, a complete line of spare parts is available to keep you flying.

The only saving grace was the Roban fuselage.The mechanic and frame assembly are clones of the Align Sport V1. The DFC is also a copy of the after market FBL from Align.

I installed an H1 controller and RX. However, when I turn the main rotor by hand there is a clicking - one per turn And, the motor seemed to be binding when I tried to spool up, and it is also was clicking badly. In addition, it being a scale model ( that has a difficult to remove fuse with a belt drive rear rotor ) I am having a problem finding the problem. It's winter time and I am in no hurry but, it is a little annoying . It is a beautiful heli.

Unfortunately, the Airwolf took a fatal crash recently and is now hanging for show. but the main mechanics had minimal damage. just need to replace blades, feathering shaft, and the tail rotor assembly. Was going to replace the airwolf fuse with this one but nothing is in stock as usual except for the rear. Not sure if it will be restocked eventually but I hesitate to buy just the one piece of many that I will need. I do feel that it is currently over priced. pretty sure these were closer to $315 over a year ago so I hope they go down in price again. Wish I had bought more of these when they were cheaper. I recommend upgrading to the tarot head and tail as the stock is not so great. My AS350 flies terrific though after adding some weight to the canopy in the front and leveling the swash etc. the Airwolf was not leveled so the crash was totally my fault. I tried to spin around too fast and I lost control. Make sure your tracking is good and level or you will probably crash like I did. I'm still super mad at myself.
