Admiral Helicopters?

We did not get bait and switched and the Admiral helis (now called Rotorscale) are not shelved. We tried a new concept with a custom controller to make the heli PNP. Simply stated, our custom controller did not work and that is not the fault of anyone but us. We went back to the drawing board because the helis were perfect when flown with another controller. In the end, we are using another controller but it will be sold separately which will allow anyone to use any controller they want. The flight controller we are recommending is very good and will be very reasonably priced. We are now waiting on some more helis and parts to arrive - they are on the water. Two of the models have not started production yet so we may launch without those two models to get the ball rolling.

The flight controller can be found here: https://www.motionrc.com/collections...ght-controller
I think you will agree it is fairly reasonably priced and very good. We'll do a complete setup video demonstrating the setup soon.

Here's a thought. How about offering them in three completion modes? You could list the current ones as ARF+, have a RXR model WITH the flight controller but WITHOUT the RX for those of us that don't go that deep into the "guts", and a RTF version, with of course the appropriate price differentials.

Most heli pilots have a FBL controller preference based on their flying style, ease of setup, performance options, and what programming they have set up on their computers or phones. It's most probable that a guy would buy the heli kit without a FBL controller so that they can use the one they prefer. That's simpler than learning an entirely new FBL program.
On the smaller size scale helis, up to and including 450's, there's not a lot of real estate inside the fuselage for a lot of extra stuff. I think that guys would be choosing FBL controllers with built-in receivers so that they only have one component to install inside the fuselage. That also minimizes wiring and weight.

I have the Airwolf, Huey and AS350 and have been enjoying them. I haven't messed with the Huey yet, but am planning on doing a full build and setup thread to walk through everything. [/QUOTEbvio
Forgive me for suggesting this Delta Dart but it seems to me that you are clearly a sponsored 'Motion RC apologist' - what I am looking for is an honest independent customer review(specifically not of the home branded fake variety that has appeared thus far).

As for being an “apologist”, say what you will. I’m happy to see ANY progress forward in the world of scale helis. And, as a fixed wing Warbird/edf guy, I’ve seen what Motion has done for for those products, by improving quality, durability, and scale. They have a chance to do the same for scale helicopters, and these are the starting point. Do I have things I’d like to see done differently in the 450s? Absolutely! Setups for lower headspeed, a faster tail servo, torque tube options, ESC with active freewheeling, a Loooong list of scale airframe tweaks, scale rotor rotation, and multi blade heads. But, this is their first step into that world, and I am excited to see where they take it from here.
