Heli-Max 1Si Quadcopters

Published on Nov 8, 2013


Quadcopter flying has never been easier or more fun than with the 1Si. TAGS-FX eliminates control drift and compensate for wind speed and direction. Plus, Actual Direction Control keeps flight direction the same as stick movement regardless of orientation. Expert pilots can choose to deactivate these features and fly unassisted. There's also a "Return to Pilot" button which automatically returns the helicopter to the transmitter and an optional digital camera you can operate from the transmitter for amazing aerial stills and video!

Great Planes Factor 3D EP ARF

Published on Dec 12, 2013


Looking to cut your teeth on 3D with a plane that doesn't bite back? The Factor 3D is just the ticket.

Wild aerobatics. Harriers. Torque rolls. Waterfalls. This ultra-light airframe can do it all and more -- using common 3S 2100mAh LiPo components. The Factor 3D's compact, 38" span size makes it easy to transport, giving you more time to focus on flying.

The Factor 3D has what it takes for solid sport flying and fearless, all-out 3D. All that's missing is you at the sticks.

Heli-Max 1Si Quadcopter Intelligent Technology

Published on Dec 11, 2013


Among all R/C quadcopters, the palm-sized, ready-to-fly 1Si stands alone as the only one offering the intelligent technology of $600 quads for just $100. Exclusive to Heli-Max, this technology makes the 1Si the easiest compact quad to fly — and the most fun.

Return to Pilot:
If you get confused by the controls, lose track of your model, or want to pack it in for the day, hit the transmitter's Return to Pilot button. The 1Si automatically comes straight back to you!

Actual Direction Control:
When activated, Actual Direction Control compensates for control reversal. It keeps flight direction the same as stick movement, regardless of the 1Si's orientation.

Beginner and Expert Modes:
In Beginner mode, releasing the sticks lets the 1Si stabilize itself in flight — perfect for new pilots. Expert mode turns off the TAGS-FX accelerometers, allowing greater maneuverability.

Quadcopter flying has never been easier or more fun than with the 1Si. Choose versions with or without a micro digital onboard camera. Both come with a 4-channel SLT radio, LiPo battery, USB charger, extra rotor blades and blade guards.
