Overview
UH-1D "Huey" Green 800 Size Scale Army Helicopter ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) from Roban - RBN-212MI-8
The UH-1D "Huey" was developed specifically for the Army in order to carry pilots, gunners, and an infantry of 10. The main cabin can also house 6 stretchers making it a good MEDEVAC helicopter. The first delivery of the "Delta" model to the Army took place in 1963. 2,008 UH-1Ds "Hueys" were made for the Army between 1963 and 1966.
This is the Roban UH-1D scale 800 ARF offers unparalleled detail. From tip-to-tail the UH-1D body kit displays an accuracy of detail to the real aircraft not normally seen in the RC helicopter hobby. This kit comes with a very high level of detail. The fuselage is pre-painted, windows installed and all structural bulkheads installed. All doors are pre-fitted and fully operational, navigation and strobe lights included.
This kit comes with a fully illuminated scale detail cockpit with illuminated dashboard, joysticks, rudder pedals, aerials, windshield wipers and more. Full rear cabin interiors are included (not installed). Floor and ceiling details can be crafted so once the interiors are installed you have an impressively scaled cockpit/interior. Balance bar upgrade is available for the rotor head (sold separately).
The working/sliding door easily opens and allows quick access to the removable floor panel and battery compartment. These scale kits house the cockpit in precisely the right location and the mechanics are built into the engine compartment just like in the full scale version. The UH-1D kit really impresses with the highly detailed and accurately scaled down profile.

Roban Scale Helicopters are intended for modelers who have advanced level building skills. Both ARF and KIT product formats require you to install your own electronics (ESC, servos, motor, etc). KIT product formats also require you to install your own helicopter mechanics. Because helicopter mechanics can vary greatly in size and shape, you may be required to modify the fuselage slightly (including cutting, drilling, etc.) to achieve a perfect fit. Roban fuselages are all handmade from fiberglass and therefore may have slight variation in tolerances between body panels, doors, or windows. These variations do not affect flight performance and can be easily adjusted by an experienced builder with proper tools. These precautions are intended for novice builders; an experienced modeler should have no issue achieving perfect results with these premiere scale helicopters kits.

The model is very well built, and the pop open sliding doors are amazing! The skids are solid and huge. The color is way off, so I plan on repainting it Vietnam-era Huey green of the Air Cavalry. Being an Army-brat I have childhood memories of these taking off and landing at Army bases my father was assigned too. It will fit in well with my Roban 700 Apache. Looking forward to hearing the chop-chop of the blades.

Notes after a few flights

The mechanics are really set up for the Align 750MX 530KV motor. The photo above is not of the model. Its of a real Huey. The color is a much lighter green. Also the tail rotor on the model is on the non scale (right) side. If you want the tail rotor on the correct (left side) you also need to order RBN-678-052-SET (Roban 700/800 Side Support and L Lever Set). All you do is flip the tail rotor boom, (the short end section) 180° and then swap the belcrank to the other side (this is the one you bought separately). Make sure to check tail rotor direction in the gyro! Mine was now backwards and had to swap it. I'd advise against running a BEC and use a separate battery for the flight controller/servos. And another battery for the lights/ESC fan. It's too nice a model to lose because of a bad BEC.

The kit is awesome. Has a bunch of details. Instructions really need work on and for the price and to come with water-slide decals, now that's being cheapo. Huey flies great very stable. There is plenty of room and imagination to improve on. I didn't like the paint scheme it came in so I repainted it.

That being said, with the right help, it's a great kit. Maiden flight today went well. I'm over the moon. Still need some tuning but wow what a cool model. Pulled it out at the field today and everyone came over too ask about it. Manual leaves a lot out. Lots of guesswork. Find someone who has built one and ask lots of questions. Flying a heavy scale heli is very different from a sport or 3D heli. But it's really fun.

My own M.A.S.H. Huey!

Lighting kit inside and out is very bright and can be seen in daylight. Blades were really close and required minimal balancing. The HSM-800 mechanic is very robust and I am impressed with the belt drive drive and how smooth/quiet it is at full headspeed. Took my maiden hover test yesterday and was amazing. Friends at field couldn’t get over how real it looks in the air.
