Venture 50 gas helicopter
(ARF version)
The Venture 50 ARF is another very popular gas powered rc helicopter that can handle all types of flying, from first lessons to advanced 3D aerobatics which is more what it was designed to do.
Being an ARF kit, there's very little to do to complete the helicopter. Adding the radio control gear and engine are the biggest jobs, as well as bolting the tail boom assembly to the main fuselage.
The intricate work such as the rotor head assembly, has been completed at the factory - this means that the Venture can be ready for flight within a day if you're keen to get airborne. Having said that of course, if you're completely new to the gas rc helicopter hobby, then lots of help and advice must be sought from experienced helicopter modelers!
Like other gas helicopters that can be flown as an entry level aerobatic model, the Venture 50 has stable flight characteristics thanks to the usual rc helicopter features such as the gyro and CCPM capabilities.
A suitable choice of radio gear for the Venture could be the Spektrum DX7 Heli. It's the new 2.4GHz spread spectrum technology, and ensures interference-free flying - definitely the way to go!
A 50 size helicopter engine is also required, which will give plenty of power for the more advanced flying.
