Overview

For almost a decade, more people learned to fly CP (Collective Pitch) helicopters with multiple versions of the Blade 230 S than any other model. The Revolution 235 CP is an updated and upgraded version of the proven 230 equipped with new features to make it even easier to fly, plus more capable and more durable than ever before. It features exclusive and innovative SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology that offers angle limits and improved self-leveling to help prevent crashes in Normal mode, and no limits in all other flight modes – plus Panic Recovery to “bail out” at the push of a button if you ever need it!

Updates and upgrades compared to the 230 include:

• Improved flight controller tuning for better self-leveling performance when switching back to Normal (SAFE) mode
• Updated frame design with optimized servo geometry and center of gravity for improved flight performance
• Upgraded servos and improved rotor head geometry for increased precision and capabilities
• Aluminum swashplate and rotor head block for added durability and precision
• Larger diameter tail boom for increased rigidity and durability
• More powerful and efficient main motor
• New color scheme and option parts

Best of all the Revolution 235 CP arrives 100% factory-assembled, flight-tested, and ready to fly right out of the box—no assembly or setup required. The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes everything needed to fly in one box except for a battery and charger so it's a perfect choice for first-time to experienced pilots looking for maximum convenience and value. It allows you to choose a convenient and money-saving Spektrum Powerstage bundle or the separate battery and charger you prefer. Plus the included Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter can be used with other Bind-N-Fly (BNF) and BNF Basic aircraft after you learn to fly the Revolution 235 successfully! A Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic version is also available for pilots who want to use their current Spektrum transmitter along with Smart or non-Smart batteries and chargers they may already own. And both versions include a Spektrum flybarless flight controller and receiver loaded with a Smart Transmitter File that allows you to import all settings for NX and iX series transmitters during the binding process to make it easier and faster to get flying with your favorite or upgraded transmitter.

And the fun doesn't stop after you learn how to fly! In the Stunt/Idle Up flight modes the Revolution 235 CP is capable of performing basic aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, inverted (upside down) flight, and more. It's even capable of 3D aerobatics whether you're an experienced pilot or are just learning to perform them. Plus you can customize and personalize more than ever before with different colors of main rotor blades, tail rotors, canopies, and even landing gear. There are also optional carbon fiber main rotor blades, aluminum blade grips, main motor and tail motor mounts, and updated light kits for flying at night.

You can purchase the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator and a Spektrum WS2000 Wireless Simulator Dongle (together in the money-saving RFL-1212) to fly this and other models using the transmitter included with the RTF Basic version! The simulator features many of the most popular Horizon Hobby trainer aircraft and built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons. This helps new pilots learn to fly successfully by practicing on a PC at home or on a laptop just about anywhere else!
