4-Channel Apache AH64 4-Channel Radio Remote Controlled RC Military Helicopter
Ready To Fly (RTF)

There are market-ful and internet-full of Apache 2-Channels, If the model you are getting only move up-down and rotate left-right, you are not getting a 4-channel - Beware, to those who are just get involved/interested in RC Helicopter.

This 4-Channel model is much more fun to fly as compared to the mere-toy 2-channel !

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 Colco 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 Colco Apache Range of RC Helicopter offer 2 models: 2-channels and 4-channels (there is no 6-channel model produced by the manufacturer). This particular item listing that you are reading now is for 4-channel model, which in layman terms, can goes up-down, front-back, turn left-right and tilt left-right, an ideal starting model for serious flying RC hobbyist.

APACHE AH-64 remote controller model helicopter is made by simulating and downsizing the Apache AH-64 LONGBOW helicopter. It can simulate basic acts of Apache such as hanging, advancing, retracting, yawing, etc. It applies design of co-axial double-propeller and inverted rotating. The upper propeller produces lift and at the same time balances the airframe. And the lower propeller produces speed differential and changes angel of propeller while producing lift so as to realize the swerving of the helicopter. Design of co-axial inverted rotating of two propellers eliminates produced torsion and makes flying more stable and swift.

This helicopter applies high quality PA and PP materials with good stiffness that enhances its anti-break capability, and adopts emulating airframe design to furnish it with excellent external appearance.
