Overview
B429 Heli Alps 700 Size Scale Helicopter ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) from Roban - RBN-429HA-7S
This is the Roban B429 Heli Alps Scale 700 size ARF, a premium scale kit that offers unparalleled detail. From tip-to-tail the B429 body kit displays an accuracy of detail to the real aircraft not normally seen in the RC helicopter hobby.
This kit comes with a full scale detail cockpit with 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.
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 B429 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.

Flight control is Vbar Neo ... power delivery is scorpion 130 HV esc running 12 s 5000mah , the drive motor is XNOVA 4035 470 KV , pulling and average of 44 amps @ about 1320 rotor rpm , with 7 minute flights landing with about 30% battery left , the helicopter is about 80% finished, I will be adding more my own scale details , as well as graphics , the machine flies very well and I have 14 flights on it so far , in conclusion, the Roban large scale kits while not perfect they are a good buy and a quick build and a lot easier on making mechanics work as with a scratch build scale projects I have built in the past , other than a few quirks, I have been happy with all my Roban builds

I need access & repair the wood that supports the aluminum skids, looking at cutting and installing access panels underneath the fuselage for future access. The rear tail shakes around during flight which takes away from the realism.
