I bought one and it truly is one good looking bird! I haven't had a chance to actually fly it yet due to some FBL programming issues, but I'm certainly looking forward to getting this beauty in the air.

Did you get airborne?

Thanks for the link, I downloaded his build notes before I got the heli. It took 11 weeks two days to get here, so I used the time to research it. I bought it directly from Roban, fantastic to deal with and they informed me every step it took from the factory to the ship and then to me. I would buy from them again. I got a parts list from them and I can get the spares for it should I need them.

I'm about half way through building mine, the mechanics are not fitted, I just wanted a reference point for it. It makes my 550 jet ranger look small, 😂 I'm not sure it's going to fit in the car? I might be in the market for a van....😅
Happy new year all.....

B429 Mercy Flight 700 Size Scale Helicopter ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) from Roban - RBN-429MF

This is the Roban B429 Mercy Flight 700 size ARF, a premium scale kit that offers unparalleled detail. From tip-to-tail the B429 body kit displays an accuracy of detail to the real aircraft not normally seen in the RC helicopter hobby.

This kit comes with a full scale detail cockpit with dashboard, joysticks, rudder pedals, aerials, windshield wipers and more. Full rear cabin interiors are included (not installed). Floor and ceiling details can be crafted so once the interiors are installed you have an impressively scaled cockpit/interior.

These scale kits house the cockpit in precisely the right location and the mechanics are built into the engine compartment just like in the full scale version. The B429 really impresses with the highly detailed and accurately scaled down profile.

Features:

• 4 Blade rotorhead and scale carbon fiber rotor blades

Important Information - Please Read
Roban Scale Helicopters are intended for modelers who have advanced level building skills. Both ARF and KIT product formats require you to install your own electronics (ESC, servos, motor, etc). KIT product formats also require you to install your own helicopter mechanics. Because helicopter mechanics can vary greatly in size and shape, you may be required to modify the fuselage slightly (including cutting, drilling, etc.) to achieve a perfect fit. Roban fuselages are all handmade from fiberglass and therefore may have slight variation in tolerances between body panels, doors, or windows. These variations do not affect flight performance and can be easily adjusted by an experienced builder with proper tools. These precautions are intended for novice builders; an experienced modeler should have no issue achieving perfect results with these premiere scale helicopters kits.
