HK 450 size V2 heli






The succesor to he popular wifly(HK) 450 heli has just been released. its basically the same heli but they have fixed a couple of niggly problems on the v1.
for instance the tail drive shaft pinion is now better secured. as the v1 occasionally started slipping.
it features more metail bits. eg main rotor block and head button
it features a double fork tail control mechanism. this helps with extreme aerobatics as well as less effort required to move the tail rotor now. means you can use a lighter servo if you want.

the main gear looks as if its been upgraded to a stronger nylon. nothing wrong with the old one. but it did tend to strip if you overpowered the heli too much(duh....)
the main rotor block is now metal as well. no perceived gain from this for mosts people. just looks nice. for 3D is supposedly mkes the blades slighter stiffer making the helis response from crisp(A.K.A) Twitchy.

Anyway same price. R450 from Wifly. still a bargain.
