Manufacturer's Description
30 Size Electric RC Helicopter
Setting new standards in large electrics, the Swift will outperform the competition with lightning speed. The main shaft is 10mm and hollow making it ultra light. The control system is none other than the very precise 120 degree eCCPM found in the Predator & Raven with a rear mounted rudder servo. The Swift will also feature a belt drive and built-in autorotation system. The horizontal fins and vertical fins are made slim and exotic resulting in additional weight savings. The main frames were built with weight reduction and structural rigidity in mind. The helicopter with motor and servos as configured weighs in at a mere 3.4lbs. With it's lightweight components and instantaneous electric power, the Swift has earned it's named which was derived from the world's fastest species of birds.
