Based on the legendary Hughes 500, the remote-controlled MD500 Pro helicopter is a true-to-detail scale replica in the scale 1:16, which combines modern flying technology with realistic appearance. The model features a LiDAR-TOF and geomagnetic GPS positioning system that enables a stabilized flying mode, precise lifting as well as numerous automatic functions such as auto-start, auto-return, auto-landing and automatic circular or eighth flight. The system is complemented by an optical flight mode and a newly developed stabilization system for all axles, which offers especially calm flight characteristics and enables the pilot a controlled flying experience. An integrated compass, one-key return as well as an electronic safety fence with a range of up to 350 meters and a maximum flying height of 120 meters provide additional security.
The robust construction combines a resistant plastic chassis with precise CNC-milled components such as rotor head and swashplate, some of which are made of aluminum. The flybarless rotor system with five rotor blades is oriented to the original and ensures high efficiency and realistic flight patterns. Powerful brushless motors drive the main and rear rotors and ensure a reliable performance. The model also visually convinces with a detailed scale design including chassis, functional doors, expanded cockpit and true-to-original paint.
The control takes place via a programmable 9-channel remote control with 2.4 GHz technology and bi-directional data transmission, which transmits the telemetry data like GPS signal, altitude, speed, orientation and battery status in real time. Fast digital 4.3g servos with metal drive and an adjustment time of approx. 0.05 seconds ensure precise control reactions and a direct flight feeling.
The model is delivered as a ready-to-fly complete set including remote control, charger and a powerful 3S LiPo battery with 11.1V and 3500mAh, which enables flight times of up to approx. 15 minutes. An integrated LiPo tester monitors the battery status continuously and activates the return or landing function automatically if required. All components are stored securely in a high-quality aluminum carrying case.
