Take Your Heli Pilot Skills Higher
Collective pitch mechanics are a key element to learning sport
aerobatics with a helicopter. When combined with the durability of a
230-size heli, pilots get the “wow” factor in an airframe that’s
practical. Until now, learning with a collective pitch machine still
had an intimidation factor. The Blade® 230 S collective-pitch electric
heli is engineered to meet and go beyond the needs of the new heli
pilot by offering a highly-tuned machine with innovative SAFE®
technology so that it’s easy for any pilot to achieve first-flight
success, prevent crashes and then move on into advanced flight, all
with one heli.
Engineered around the abilities of innovative SAFE® technology, its
progressive flight mode system makes flying the Blade® 230 S collective
pitch heli more comfortable, even if you’re a beginner. Stability mode
helps keep you in control with the safety of bank limits and
self-leveling so it’s possible to fly and build pilot skills quickly.
When you’re ready to progress your skills, Agility mode opens the
flight envelope to explore basic aerobatics and 3D mode enables the 230
S to really come to life. In addition, Panic recovery mode allows you
to recover the 230 S to level flight at the press of a button and
prevent a crash. Durable features like ABS blades and metal-gear cyclic
servos mean you can be flying more often than fixing. All combined, the
230 S is the heli you’ll want to fly whether you’re a new pilot or
seasoned heli expert.
SAFE® Technology
The Blade® 230 S features exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight
Envelope) technology, a revolutionary electronic flight envelope
protection system that makes it easy for anyone to fly helicopters with
confidence. Flight mode versatility means that you can instantly choose
the level of assistance and maneuverability that’s right for you. Plus
you get the virtual protection of Panic Recovery mode that will recover
the heli to a level attitude for you at the push of a button.
Three Flight Modes
- Stability mode—limited flight envelope with self-leveling and a
bank angle limit
- Agility mode—full control authority for sport aerobatics with no
bank angle limit
- 3D mode—turns up the flip and roll rate for 3D capability
Panic Recovery Mode
Orientation is lost
Panic Recovery button is pressed
Recovery to a level attitude
Collective Pitch Rotor System
The collective pitch rotor mechanics of the 230 S have been engineered
to give you just the right level of maneuverability for learning
aerobatics and inverted flight.
Brushless Motors
The high-speed brushless main and tail motors work together to deliver
a simplified drive system that makes the 230 S light weight so that
it’s quick in response to your commands.
Metal Gear Servos
The 230 S comes equipped with the same 9-gram, digital metal gear
servos used for cyclic control in high-performance Blade mini-helis
like the 360 CFX.
Durable
The fiber-filled plastic main frame is incredibly resilient. ABS main
blades, molded in bright-white material help with visibility and hold
up better in a crash compared to wood blades.
DXe Transmitter
The all-new Spektrum™ DXe transmitter delivers the 6-channel control
you need with the industry-leading precision of DSMX® 2.4GHz
technology. When you’re ready to experiment with radio settings, just
connect the DXe to your PC and adjust settings such as the expertly set
Dual Rates and Exponential parameters to your liking.
