      Excellent! The detail on these helicopters is very impressive.

          I've been drooling over the MD-500E, Hughes 500D and AH-6 for a while. Worked with the AH-6 during my time in Spec Ops and grew up loving TC's 500 in Magnum PI. I've flown a few RC helis but have no experience assembling and setting up one....a little intimidating but something I want to master.

                Eflite 700 520kv motor. Got it for $60 right before they were discontinued. Castle 160HV. Savox 1267sg and 1268sg servos. Spirit Pro flybarless system but I’ll be pulling it out and putting in an Ikon 2.

                  Aw man I love that ah64. Was such a blessing to look up and see them flying overhead in Iraq.

                    I'm always chiding the heli guys at our field about not flying scale heli's. They are all 3D heli guys. Now I have some ammunition. They all look very cool but I'm afraid they are above my pay grade. Sigh
                    Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39
                    Out of Service: 80mm Mig-21,64mm F-35, 64mm F/A-18
                    I Want: 80mm A-4, twin 80mm F4J Phantom

                      Indeed, well out of my reach as well. Yikes. But none the less, very beautiful machines

                        Hmmmm ... this reminds me that somewhere, out in that garage that I call my "hangar", is a 470 sized Super Scale AS350. Wow, I had almost forgotten that I had squirreled THAT one away for a future rainy day!

                        Nice to see MRC pick up NA distribution rights to these always impressive kits.

                          Keep watching the "Show All Helicopters" page on Motion RC. We are adding new products each week. The 600 size helicopters were just announced today.

                              I spent the afternoon at Roban's factory recently and I think many of us would enjoy a small peak behind the scenes. Their craftsmanship is remarkable, from molding large fuselages down to 3D printed parts. Fiberglass molds, silicone molds, laser cutting... many of their staff have years of experience in specialist tasks. We are grateful to have been named Roban's exclusive USA distributor as of 3/7/2018, and now our work can begin in earnest to service their products, improve them, and serve as a conduit of feedback between our customer family and our leadership team at Roban. So what do want to see more of from scale helicopters?

                                  I think the AH-64 is in the works as soon as my piggy bank recovers a bit. I really like the 800 size Navy Huey too!!! Wow... Just awesome!!

                                    Simply amazing! Some serious precision craftsmanship there, especially on that fenestron! The big Cobra is on my wish list for sure.

                                      That 700 size AH1 Cobra flies very well!! Also the 700 size UH60, hope Motion is going to stock the upgrade parts .

                                      I'll add that the new 800 size scale bodies need some scale love. the UH1 looks very bad in the scale outline and that just one of the 800 size that needs some love.(Reworking of scale outline)
