Aria Hr1 'Bee'

3,321 SwanBee  7.1 years ago

Here, we have Aria's first helicopter model! Designed for slow speed flight, this craft is well suited for touring and observation. Its compact design offers pilots with a feel of connection towards the sky, and its handling makes it ideal for anyone.

Controls:
AG1 - Gyro Control (How you fly the helicopter)
AG2 - Nav/Beacon Lights
AG3 - Front Lights

Hovering is between 80-90% throttle. I would give more accurate numbers, but it tends to fluctuate based on orientation. Do cut me some slack, this was my first attempt at a heli. =)
