Battle Airhogs Choppers will leave you with endless fun.

If you enjoy the fun of radio-controlled vehicles, but don’t always want to leave the comfort of your couch to go outside and play, check out these Air Hogs Havoc Helicopters. Measuring a mere six inches long and weighing only a half pound, these small but mighty choppers are made for indoor dueling — so you don’t have to quit flying just because of bad weather or a dark sky. A crash-resistant foam fuselage means you can perfect your piloting skills using the dual-toggle, single-throttle wireless controller. The twin drive props in back and dual rotors on top provide exceptional stability and precise six-way directional control — up, down, left, right, forward, and back. Sled-style landing gear means set-downs should be gentle, too.

The tiny flier fits easily in the palm of your hand.

Not just for meant flying solo, the Havoc copters are designed for fun with others. In what is almost like a live video game, each helicopter uses its infrared beam weapons to engage in a mid-air battle against the other. The first pilot to hit his opponent three times with the beam (complete with battle sounds) will be victorious as the enemy heads into a wild tailspin. Six AA batteries are required, but not included, for the remote controls. The helicopters are powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, and the charger comes with the set.

Product Description

Fly the Spinmaster Air Hogs R/C Havoc Heli Laser Battle Helicopters together and have real live aerial battles. You receive 2 laser targeting Havoc Helis, 2 infrared remote control transmitters and extra tail propellers. No assembly required. Very easy to fly. Ages 8+. Four way control. Fly indoors in any room. Each transmitter/remote controller has 2 fire buttons and a speaker that emits authentic battle sounds. Average flight time aprox 6-8 minutes. Includes lithium polymer flight battery in the helicopter. Each transmitter requires 6 AA batteries (sold separately). You’ll need 12 AA batteries in total. The transmitter doubles as the charger for the helicopter by connecting the supplied wire from the transmitter to the helicopter. Average charge time 15-20 min. If the helicopter flight time decreases you most likely need to change the transmitter batteries because they are no longer able to fully charge the internal helicopter battery. If the helicopter spins, press and release the trim control on the transmitter multiple times to trim the helicopter in the opposite direction of the spin. Do not fly outdoors. How the laser battle works: 1. Fly both havoc helis at once. 2. Fly into position and press the fire button on the remote controller. The heli will shoot an infrared beam at the other heli. 3. If a direct hit is detected the opponent will go into a tailspin. 4. Once one of the helis receives 3 direct hits it will lose power. The other Havoc Heli wins.

This is a wonderful little helicopter you really should try this out if you are above the. . .

The main benefit to this helicopter is the metal head. It will not break as easily as the original walkera 4#3.

This is the best value in a 6 channel helicopter. It is not for inexperienced pilots, though. I also would not describe it as ready to fly right out of the box. you must make some adjustments to get it to fly smoothly. Once it is set up properly and in the hands of an experienced pilot this is the best deal out there.

Here are some general tips!

You will need some replacement parts for your helicopter. I recommend a couple extra batteries, a couple sets of top and rear rotor blades, and an extra motor. yes the motor will burn out eventually, these high capacity motors don’t last very long. thats just how it is. so just order an extra this helicopter was a blast to fly. Very delicate.. you have to take care of it otherwise it will break.

Walkera 5G6 discussion/ review

The Walkera 1#A is a ready to fly helicopter with brushless motor, Li-Po battery and speed controller all included. No need for further upgrades, except if you want to upgrade the rotor head with a metal version. Not only does the Walkera 1#A look good, it also fly very well. The first thing I noticed is the low all-up weight of only 380 grams. That’s the reason for its excellent flight characteristics.

If you want a well priced 3D ready to fly out of the box helicopter, look no further.

Technical and designing review

Let’s start with the main rotor. The Walkera 1#A comes standard with a plastic rotor head assembly and fibreglass main rotors. If needed, you can upgrade to a metal rotor head, but for mild 3D aerobatics, the standard plastic rotor head assembly will do the job with ease. The blade holders sit on top of the rotor head assembly. The blade holder shaft rocks on ball bearings inside the rotor head, which makes it easy for the flybar paddles to do there job during flight.

The flybar rocks up and down between the blade holders and swashplate to provide cyclic control to the main rotors. The linkages between the flybar and blade holders can be adjusted when you need to set the blade tracking. The Walkera 1#A have a 120º swashplate to incorporate Cyclic, Collective and Pitch Mixing (CCPM) for perfect 3D maneuvers.

The main shaft runs through the mainframe on two ball bearings. At the bottom of the main shaft, the main gear is situated which also incorporates the toothed pulley for the belt that drives the tail rotor.

The Walkera 1#A have four 9g servos. Three of the are situated on the main frame. One sits to the right of the main shaft, two just behind the main shaft, and one servo on the tail boom. Walkera have simplified the main frame so that all three servos can be easily unscrewed for replacement if necessary.

The Walkera 1#A has a powerful Walkera outrunner brushless motor (WK-WS-26-002) that sits in front of the main shaft. A 15-tooth pinion gear gives the Walkera 1#A plenty of power.

The landing gear is made from plastic and metal tubing. The landing gear feels quite solid, but yet light weight. I think that it can handle the odd harsh landing without breaking.

The seven-channel receiver sits in the nose of the helicopter. Below the main gear, a tray holds the Li-Po battery and 20A ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) securely in place. Both the Li-Po battery and ESC simply slides into position on the tray. The Walkera 1#A 1200 Li-Po battery gives 9 minutes of flight time, depending on the flight type. To charge the Li-Po battery, use the Li-Po charger that is provided with the Walkera 1#A kit.

The Walkera gyro (WK-G016) sits behind the elevator and aileron servos on the main frame. Below the Gyro, the tail boom is clamped securely in position with two screws. The Walkera A#1 have a metal tail boom, which incorporates the brackets for the tail servo, tail boom strut bracket and tail rotor assembly. The tail boom is strutted with two graphite rods between the landing gear and strut bracket in the middle of the tail boom.

The tail rotor servo gives fast rudder inputs via a pull rod for pitch changes on the tail rotor. A belt that runs inside the tail boom drives the tail rotor. The tail rotor blades are made from strong plastic and can easily be replaced if needed . The tail rotor assembly has four high quality ball bearings.

Overall the Walkera 1#A have a very simple yet effective design that makes this little helicopter the flagship model of Walkera up to date. The only downfall I could find was that the helicopter is tail heavy, but can easily be rectified.

Pre-flight checks

As an ex-commercial pilot, I’m still in the habit of doing a thorough preflight inspection. Never assume that the helicopter is correctly setup, no matter what brand of R/C helicopter you buy. I did the following checks before my first flight to ensure a safe and successful first flight.
Check all moving parts for any loose components or screws.
Make sure the main rotor blades are balanced.
Check the movement of all the servos and that they move in the correct direction.
Check the blade tracking.
Very important, check the helicopters CG (center of gravity). My Walkera 1#A was tail heavy, so I have removed the battery and ESC tray and moved the battery to the front under the receiver. I use Velcro to secure the battery below the receiver. The Esc was tied down with cable ties below the main gear. With that configuration, the CG is spot on.
Make sure that the gyro direction is correct.
Make sure that all the batteries are fully charged.

Flight performance

The Walkera 1#A gets airborne at about 55% throttle. After I have trimmed the helicopter, I noticed that it is quite stable in hover. The rudder was a bit slow, so after I have turned the gyro sensitivity down to 60%, the rudder was very responsive both left and right. I found the Gyro to be very effective. You can adjust the gyro to suite your flying skills.

Collective is very responsive. Any throttle inputs above 55%, and the helicopter will start to climb without any effort. Cyclic inputs are crisp and prompt. Transition in to forward flight is very good, and the same for backward flight. The throttle curve, exponential, gyro sensitivity, rudder mixing and the pitch can all be adjusted on the transmitter. You might find that the helicopter to be to sensitive for you during your first flight, adjust the throttle curve, exponential, gyro sensitivity, rudder mixing and the pitch so that you have a helicopter that flies well according to you flying skills.

Overall the Walkera 1#A is a very nice little helicopter to fly with great characteristics. I’m looking forward to explore the 3D flight envelope in the near future. I’m sure the Walkera 1#A will compete well among other helicopters in its class. I have to say that this helicopter is definitely for someone that has previous RC helicopter experience. This is not a beginners helicopter.

Reason to buy the Walkera 1#A

The Walkera 1#A is very stable during flight.
It is very easy to fly if you have previous flying experience.
The gyro is very effective.
It is 3D capable.
The parts are easily obtainable.
Overall good flight characteristics.
It can be flown outside in light wind conditions.
And it’s not that expensive to buy.

Conclusion

If you want to own the flagship RC helicopter from Walkera, Buy the Walkera 1#A. You won’t be disappointed.

7-ch transmitter PCM WK-0701 with adjustable PIT parameter, throttle curve, and servo exponential function.

Upgrading from two cell LiPo to three cell LiPo

Take note that the Walkera 1#A is already a high performance little helicopter straight out of the box. I have tested my Walkera 1#A with a 1300 mAh 11.1V three cell LiPo battery from HiModel, and was amazed about the extra power. The power is double compared to the two cell LiPo. The1300 mAh 11.1V three cell LiPo battery from HiModel fits perfectly underneath the receiver and gives the Walkera 1#A a perfect centre of gravity.

Take care before your first flight. Due to the extra voltage, you have to turn the throttle curve down fully to bring the rotor head speed down. My throttle curve in normal flight mode and 3D flight mode is set to the lowest value.

You also have to lower the servo exponential so that the Walker 1#A is not too sensitive to control during flight. Switch the DIP 10 switch on, and adjust V1 so that the helicopter starts flying at about 50% throttle.

You will be amazed by the huge difference between the two cell and three cell LiPo performance wise.

Don’t miss out on this excellent little helicopter.
