Advanced High Performance Helicopter

The RotorScale F180 blurs the lines between a general "Sport" helicopter and a purpose-built "3D" helicopter. Its onboard gyro-stabilized system and pre-programmed radio transmitter make the F180 an ideal step-up for intermediate pilots who want to be able to toggle between self-leveling mode and 3D aerobatic [unstabilized] mode. Don't let its smaller size deceive you — this helicopter can do almost any "big boy" 3D maneuver in the book!

Intuitive Design

Experience the benefits of a modern helicopter design that brings all the best of current technology. Dual brushless direct drive motors, carbon fiber and metal structures, and a cutting edge flybarless, gyro-enhanced self-stabilizing flight controller. All delivered in the convenience of an RTR ("Ready To Fly") package and backed by Motion RC's world-renowned customer service and spare parts support.

Dual Brushless Motors

Both the main rotor and the tail rotor are driven independently by specially selected brushless motors. While most models in this size range use brushed motors, especially on the tail motor, the F180's brushless motors deliver higher power, efficiency, and torque. The main motor is a 3606 brushless motor that contains special magnets capable of performing in high current and high temperature environments. Paired with the F180's digital cyclic servos, these two brushless motors provide the best performance possible in a helicopter of this size.

Easy Maintenance

The RotorScale F180's open frame layout is easy to maintain, which is especially important for a performance helictoper. All electronics and main structures are readily accessible to clean, inspect, and repair if necessary. Carbon fiber and CNC metal parts reinforce key areas, without adding excessive deadweight. Even the carbon and nylon composite main blades are crafted to optimize performance per gram.

Gyro-Stabilized and 3D Performance Modes

A modern flybarless flight controller is enhanced with an onboard gyro sensor suite. This system is pre-configured at the factory and arrives Ready To Fly. The included radio enables pilots to toggle with a single switch between mild gyro-stabilized "Sport" mode to a highly maneuverable "3D" mode. The pitch curves and throttle curves are already pre-programmed, making the F180 one of the quickest helicopters to access true 3D Aerobatic flying out of the box!

Perfect Size for Sport 3D Flying

The RotorScale F180's 410mm (16.1") main blade diameter makes the helicopter an ideal "everyday flyer", powered by a smaller battery than larger and heavier helicopters. The F180's power to weight ratio makes it capable of almost everything a larger helicopter three times its cost can accomplish.

RTF - Ready To Fly

This RTF ("Ready To Fly") package arrives with everything needed to fly except four (4) AA batteries. The helicopter, a pre-programmed radio transmitter, LiPo flight battery, USB battery charger, user guide are all included in the box. Complimentary tools and spare parts are also included for your convenience. Read the manual, charge the battery, conduct your pre-flight tests, then start flying!

Futaba S-FHSS Compatible Radio System

A modern 2.4GHz radio transmitter is included and arrives fully configured to fly your RotorScale F180 200 Size Gyro-Stabilized helicopter. Zero user programming is required. The helicopter itself is also compatible with Futaba S-FHSS compatible radio transmitters.
