Radio control Apache helicopter AH-64 longbow review

Remote control AH-64 Apache helicopter

Have hours of fun with this hi-tech radio control model apache helicopter. The contra-rotating twin rotor blades make the helicopter more stable and easier to fly than single rotor helicopters. Flying a remote control helicopter is not as easy as controlling a radio controlled car but this makes flying this helicopter more fun and entertaining. The apache comes fully assembled and ready to fly, no need for specialist tools or waiting for parts to stick.

Apache longbow AH64 attack helicopter

The apache combat helicopter is the most formidable attack helicopter in the world and employed by US, UK and many other forces as close air support and anti tank roles. The Apache attack helicopter was initially designed by Hughes helicopters in 1981 and then further developed by McDonnell Douglas after acquiring Hughes helicopters. The Apache has played an important role in many conflicts including Iraq and Afghanistan and will continue for many years.

Flying a remote controlled Apache helicopter can be both fun and challenging. A degree of skill and practice will be required to control the apache.This two channel helicopter is the easiest model to fly but has the least maneuverability, while the four channel gives more flexibility and reality but requires a great deal of skill and practice and we would not recommend a four channel remote control helicopter for any beginner as one crash can be very costly. As a rough guide we would recommend the two channel for beginners - three channel apache helicopter for experienced flyers and the four channel for expert flyers only.

The twin set of counter rotating rotor blades makes this design of remote control helicopter more stable than single set helicopters by neutralising the turning force of single set helicopters. The twin rotor model doesn't require a tail rotor and uses less power to maintain stablity. The Apache RC helicopter has a twin motor for turning each set or rotar blades which provides additional lift.
