E-Flite Blade 400 FAQs
What makes the E-Flite Blade 400 different compared to other available mini helicopters?
The Blade 400 offers a number of features not found on other similar Ready-To-Fly and kit models:
* 100% factory-assembled and test-flown so it’s ready to fly within minutes of opening the box
* Simple and lightweight CCPM (Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing) control
* Aluminum and composite swashplate for added durability and precision
* Reliable and efficient belt-driven tail rotor
* 420H brushless outrunner motor, 25-amp brushless ESC and 3S 11.1V 1800mAh 20C
* Li-Po battery for incredible power and performance
* DS75 Digital Sub-Micro servos and G110 Micro Heading Lock Gyro for precise and powerful control
* Spektrum DX6i 2.4GHz DSM2 computer programmable transmitter and AR6100e Microlite receiver
What advantages does the larger size of the Blade 400 offer over micro-class helicopters?
The Blade 400’s larger size offers improved visibility and added stability, especially when flying outdoors in breezy conditions that might ground other micro-class helis. It also allows for incredible power and performance not typically found in micro-class or even other mini-class models.
Where can the Blade 400 be flown?
The Blade 400 is primarily intended for outdoor flying, however, it can also be flown by experienced pilots in large indoor facilities, such as golf domes and multiple-court gyms, when the areas are free of people and obstructions.
What are the flight performance capabilities of the E Blade 400?
The E-Flite Blade 400 is capable of everything from smooth hovering to 3D aerobatic flying right out of the box. This makes it a great choice for intermediate pilots looking for their first 3D aerobatic platform and mini-helicopter model, especially those who have already mastered flying the Blade CP+ and Blade CP Pro. It’s also an excellent choice for experienced pilots looking for a fully 3D capable RTF model.
What is unique about the about the included Spektrum DX6i transmitter and AR6100e receiver?
Perhaps the most unique feature of the Blade 400 is that it includes a Spektrum DX6i 2.4GHz DSM2 computer programmable transmitter and feather-light AR6100e Microlite receiver. This radio system combination provides freedom from frequency restrictions and interference, meaning you can fly just about anywhere, anytime. Plus, the DX6i’s DSM2 technology offers other unique advantages like faster control response and innovative features such as ServoSyncTM, which automatically resequences transmitter data so mixed servos receive their pulses at the same time for maximum CCPM precision and response.
