[New Product]　Robo Hopper

Kyosho Corp. has produced a radio controlled helicopter for indoor leisure use.

The robot-shaped Robo Hopper is a 227 x 160 x 159 mm compact toy chopper. Unlike commonly available toy R/C helicopters, the Robo Hopper uses the 2.4GHz frequency which allows up to 25 machines to be flown at the same time without losing constant control.

The 13-gram lightweight body is resilient to bumps and small accidents so you won’t have to worry when trying new maneuvers, and the design allows easy replacement of components should you have a crash.

The unique shape of the main rotor, and stabilizer length, weight and offset angle produces exceptional flight stability. The tail rotor automatically adjusts its rotation according to the main rotor’s rotation per minute and load, and enables easy operation even for beginners.

It also comes with advanced performance features for sure control such as button-operated 20-stage electronic rudder trim adjustment.

The suggested retail price will be left to the discretion of retailers.
