Multiple helicopters can be flown at the same time without interference! What is 2.4 Ghz? 2.4Ghz is a new radio system for radio controlled helicopters. The Spektrum-like radios are 2.4 GHz DSM, instead of the usual 75 MHz currently in use. The transmitters use a plastic antenna, which contains a short antenna wire and folds down to the side, instead of a metal telescoping antenna. The receiver antenna is a standard wire antenna, but is very short, and can be cut slightly shorter. While the antenna does not need to stick out of the body, it can be used with an antenna tube in the standard configuration, at a more scale appearing length, on some models. Often it is simply used with an antenna tube that is short enough that it does not need to stick out of the body. 2.4Ghz Radio does not use any type of conventional RC channel. Nothing needs to be done to get it on an empty channel, it automatically figures out a channel it can use. These channels do not conflict with any standard radio systems, because of the 2.4 GHz frequency band. "Bottom line, with 2.4Ghz Radio, you can fly as many helicopters with your friends at the same time without interfering their radio control. 2.4Ghz is the hot new technology in radio controlled toys!" This helicopter can fly very smooth and stable, thanks for the coaxial structure. The body frame is made of durable plastics, it prevents the heli from breaking from crash. With good finishing, the whole body is just so cool! And you can see the spring on its rotor head, allows it to perform frog jump when it lands. Look at the antenna, you will know it is not an infrared one, it is 2.4GHz. This transmitter can act as the charger for the heli, it needs 6 AA batteries to function. (Batteries are not included in the package). How to charge? Easy! Just plug the helicopter (switch off it first) to the transmitter, then turn the transmitter on, that's it. You can also use the USB cable included in the package to charge the helicopter through your Laptop or PC, this charges faster and save some power of the transmitter battery pack. –> Body Length: 225mm Width: 40mm Height: 43mm Main Rotor Diameter: 180mm Battery for helicopter: Rechargable 3.7V 180mAh Li-polymer Battery Charging Time: Approx 30-50 Minutes Flight Time: 5-7 Minutes Control Distance: Approx. 8m or above Battery for controller: 6 AA batteries (Not Included) Helicopter x 1 Remote Controller x 1 Spare Main Blade x 1 Pair Screwdriver x 1 USB Cable x 1 Instruction Manual x 1 Per Unit Dimension : 47 x 26 x 8cm Gross Weight : 642g
