“If you’re an Airwolf fan and an RC Heli enthusiast, this is a must-have aircraft. I bought my version from Scale.de, but it’s the same size and scale but just in matte black finish. The helicopter fiberglass is flawless, but that is where I ended my build with stock hardware. I discarded the stock lights for Dimension Engineering light sets with the standard nav lights around, but also afterburner red lights in the exhaust. I ditched the stock retract setup and had scale aluminum gear made to install with stiffer springs (it’s auw is about 19.5 lbs). I replaced the ball links with SAB links and the blade pitch control rods with Secraft aluminum turnbuckles. I’ve recently replaced the original motor from a Scorpion 4035 to an Egodrift 4525 530kv motor. I also replaced the stock blades for Align 800’sAnyone looking to buy this kit might ask the question; “Are all these upgrades necessary?” Some are, and some aren’t. Motor, definitely, blades, you may get lucky and receive a balanced set. Turnbuckles - well if you’ve ever tracked and balanced a Heli, you’ll be glad you did. Ball links - the stock will crack at some point and even worse if you leave your Heli in the garage or elements where it is not climate controlled. I installed an Ikon for control and prefer this controller for scale aircraft because it is mostly plug and play and no reason to manipulate PID’s out of the box. It also allows for scale head speeds. I also do NOT install speed servos on these Roban helicopters. Torque is more essential than speed. I prefer Kontronik ESC’s versus any other brand. The governor holds better in my opinion than the the guys in the market, as well as the scale spool up is unmatched.”

“At first glance I could see that Roban had made changes from there earlier models. For example the main gears.If i had to make this review short . I would say that Roban are fantastic at the details that they put into there fuselage but they are terrible at mechanics. Every Roban that I have come across has had to have some kind of tweek to get it right.It comes without saying that if your buying an rft kit always take the mechanics apart and check all the shimms are correct then lock tight everything. Other than that lovely looking helicopter”

“Has great potential but needs a lot of hardware replaced.. The ball links particularly are prone to break. It would not take a lot for this to be a top-notch model, but Roban definitely goes cheap on the quality… Nevertheless after my first one failed before even taking off, I still did buy another one”

“For starters, replace all the ball links! Many have had these break.I lost my first airwolf before it even took off when a ball link failed. This is also a safety risk. Customer service could care less. Also go over all the glue joints as these are either poor or made with not the best adhesive. The helicopter looks great though. I’m building a second one but will change / replace many of the cheap/poor parts :/”

“The helicopter is really nice. A little on the pricey side though. Loving the build so far even though the directions are not the best. Sorry to say Motion RC but your customer service kind of sucks also.”
