If you wish to watch the demo video, please click the play button in the picture. While waiting for the video to be completely downloaded (you can watch the whole clip smoothly by pressing "play again" after letting it to download completely), we strongly suggest you read the FAQ and the full product write-up.

Want to see some acts of our local telant? Here are some. With the courtesy of En. Abu Asari from KL, append please find 3 clips of his flying acts, after merely few weeks of practicing using his after work spare time, he was a total beginner and Cyclone Thunderbird was his first RC heli. However, we are not telling you that flying Cyclone (in fact any single tier propeller RC heli) is easy, besides his talent, he is of daring type and has been very determined in practicing, he has suffered from crashes, change quite a number of parts, too. Append quoting what he said in our friendly email chats:

"Colco (Thunderbird) is a super tough heli and it's very good for a beginner where crashes are inevitable. I learn a lot from this heli...I learn the setup from mistakes. that's why I have burnt 2 mixer boards, bented the main shaft (manage to cure this), burnt 2 tail motors. That's what happen when you learn by yourself. But no pain no gain :))...Yes it's difficult to control them simultaneously since we are controlling 3 axis at the same time. The challenge makes this hobby interesting and different from other hobby."

- He is sharing these clips with the purpose of encouraging more people to take up this challenging and interesting hobby, not specifically for Colco Thunderbird, by RC heli as a whole.

Our heartfelt appreciation to brother Abu Asari for granting his permission for us to use his Youtube links here.


FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTIONS ON RC HELICOPTERS:

HOW MANY CHANNELS ?

There are 3 main categories in the market:

2-Channel: Basically it is a toy for children, only moving up-down and turning left-right.
4-Channel: A good starting point for RC hobbysts, it pose good challenges in flying and is emotionally satisfying for people who is serious in the hobby. It move up-down, front-back, turn left-right, and tilt left-right, realistically emulate a real helicopter's movement, except it does not do acrobatic stunts, such as flying upside down.
6 or 7-Channel: Capable of doing what 4-channel do and has the ability to perform aecrobatical moves, BUT those additional acts are of no use to beginners and intermediate players, the aecrobatical moves need ultra-high level of skills. Unless you are a highly-skilled expert, 6/7-channel model in a way is a burden for us to enjoy the hobby - it complicates the tuning and control.

WHICH MODEL TO GET ?

We sell three models, ALL ARE of 4-Channel type: Cyclone (a.k.a. Thunderbird), Lama & Apache.

Cyclone: Comparatively Cyclone is more difficult to handle as compared to Hammer and Apache, this is due to 2 reasons: 1) It flies on one pair of main rotor as compared to co-axial double main rotor of Lama and Apache; 2) the moving angle of the servo and rotors are bigger and more versatile, this model is ideal for peoples who are taking the art or flying RC Helicopter seriously and thinking of advance to higher-end professional/acrobatic models, Cyclone will prepare you for those great challenges because it operate on the same flying theories of those high end models.

Lama & Apache: Both models are working on same co-axial double main rotors principle, it give us much more control in keeping the helicopter hovering, one will need only minimum efforts in mastering the flying acts. Flying of these two models will make ones to misconveive that flying RC helicopter is an easy task indeed ^_^ The models mainly is for those who just want to enjoy flying in the shortest possible time, and do not want to spend much time in doing fine-tuning, however, it does not prepare you with the skills necessary to handle the professional grade RC Heli models.

Comparing Apache to Lama, Apache has an artistic war-heli look which making it a collector item, too, it also weigh heavier, thus, more stable in windy flying condition.

Hope the above helps in answering some of the questions you have in mind.

THE MOST ENDURING RC HELICOPTER EVER MADE

NOTICE: This product is not a toy, it is aeromodelling, successful bidder must have responsibility to ensure no harm or damage occur to people or properties during operations.

WARNING: User must be at age above 15 years old, inexperienced users are advisable to start slow and low.


For those who is seriously thinking of taking up the RC Heli hobby, THIS IS THE BEST CHOICE ! Why?

The Cyclone also popularly known as Thunderbird, it is widely know as the most enduring helicopter available in the market, citing on of the senior advisor on a RC Heli Forum:

".......RC Helicopters are hard to fly. There probably is no helicopter on the market that can take as much abuse as the Cyclone......(however, to master the RC Heli hobby) it will take spares and a lot of practice to learn to fly. If you cannot accept this fact then get another hobby now!.....Best of luck." - But than agian, this is what make the RC Heli hobby so challenging and fulfilling.

There is wealth of information on internet, even a dedicated forum site (link will be provided to successful bidder) fill with tips and tricks to fly this wonderful aeromodeling.

Radio Controlled helicopters are complicated and a great challenge to fly, but the Cyclone is different. The Cyclone's advanced electric circuitry has eliminated over 95% of the necessary parts that make a conventional helicopter fly. Adjustment and finetuning takes only about 20 minutes (advises on how-to will be emailed to winning bidder), of course, to really master the art of flying takes much much longer than mere 20 minutes.
