blade 400 rc helicopter-blade rc helicopter imageOne of great Blade rc helicopter is Blade 400 rc helicopter is one of great rc helicopters with 325mm blade size. This is E-Flite Blade 400 electric rc helicopter. This is RTF rc helicopter. I like flying Blade 400 rc helicopter. The blade 400 rc helicopter can be fly from beginner to advanced. I think the blade 400 rc helicopter is special, unlike another blade rc helicopter out there, the blade 400 rc helicopter come with a good entry level programmable transmitter The spektrum DX6i (The newest version of DX6), it's a 2,4Ghz transmitter that have some advantages in improving:

Blade 400 RC Helicopter Transmitter Improving

Throttle hold, Better user interface,servo monitor,flight timer,Dual rates/ exponential on aileron, elevator and rudder (DX6 only has this on aileron and elevator).
OK, i still have some informations to you about blade 400 rc helicopter( i collect more informations on internet).

Comparison of a Blade CP Pro to Blade 400 RC Helicopter features:


  • Size: Blade 400 is much bigger
  • Tail rotor system: Blade 400 uses belt drive tail with tail servo, BCPP uses cheaper motor driven tail which is much less reliable and with poorer performance.
  • Main motor: Blade 400 rc helicopter uses brushless motor and ESC, which is much more powerful, and expensive, than the BCPP's brushed main motor and ESC
  • Radio: Blade 400 rc helicopter comes with a far superior 2.4 Ghz computer radio, with an actual general purpose computer transmitter which can be used with any RC heli or plane, whereas the BCPP comes with a cheapy FM radio which is only useful with a BCPP or very similar heli and has very little programmability.
  • Gyro: Blade 400 rc helicopter comes with a heading hold gyro, whereas the BCPP comes with a rate gyro built in to the 3-in-1.

More on Blade 400 Heli Features & Specifications

DX6i radio aside, there are many outstanding features that this little 400 boasts:

  • Auto Rotation Capability – Yes
  • Bearing Count – 30, amazing for a RC heli in this price range. I had to recount them several times to believe it since this is not listed anywhere in the specs (even the parts listing in the manual is vague).
  • Bell Mixing – Yes
  • CCPM – Yes 120 degree
  • Collective Pitch – Of Course
  • Main Frame Material – Plastic / Tail boom – Aluminum
  • Rotor Diameter – 718mm
  • Tail Rotor Diameter – 135mm
  • Tail Rotor Drive – Belt Driven
  • Weight with battery – 665g
Installed Components:
  • Motor – E-Flite 420Heli brushless 3800Kv
  • Electronic Speed Controller – 25Amp
  • Receiver – Spektrum AR6100e 2.4 GHz DSM2
  • Servos – 4 E-Flite DS75 Digital Micro
  • Gyro – E-Flite G110 Heading Hold – Yaw Rate and Gain Remotely Adjustable.
  • Other Items Included:
  • E-Flite 11.1V 1800 mAh 20C 3cell RC LiPo Battery
  • Good Quality DC Li-Po battery charger/balancer –12VDC input, 3cell balancing, 1.8 amp charge rate. Many “included in kit” chargers are not that good, especially balancing ones. This one is. It has a cooling fan and the balance voltage readings are consistently precise with less than 0.02 of a volt between cells.
    I actually tested this E-Flite charger against my computerized Triton charger and Blinky Balancer The E-flite charger consistently balanced just as well as the blinky. You of course can’t adjust the charge rate or see the charge capacity, but when you are just starting out – it works well.
  • Small Tool Package
  • Extra Gyro Mounting Foam Tape
  • Blade Holder
  • Instructions of course (basically a book for the DX6i Radio) but it is fun reading!
