INTRODUCTION
This is the second product of JR newly released Airskipper series helicopters. The most distinguished feature on Airskipper series helicopters is the selective type of the swashplate. Same as its predecessor, this helicopter comes with both JR-CCPM and conventional MPM (Mechanical Mixing) control system for choice. Based on the type of transmitter you have on hand, you can select the right control system as you like to fly Airskipper even with a non-CCPM compliant transmitter.
The Airskipper comes with a 50 size helicopter rotorhead which has been approved of its reliability by using with other JR helicopters, has more upgrade parts equipped such as extremely larger diameter spindle shaft, newly designed metal centre hub and blade holders as well as the weight adjustable flybar paddles, which greatly increases the performance of the helicopter. What's more, the Airskipper 50 also comes with a direct tail drive system using a CNC machined drive gear in the system which improves the control in high speed backward flight. Needless to say, it is easier to perform a beautiful autorotation as tail control is possible. To top these, the Airskipper uses fibreglass main frames that increases rigidity and absorbs vibration from the engine during flight .
FEATURES
Black Graphite Main Frame Set - More rigid however light weight.
Metal Main Blade Holder - Safe flight as of higher strength as well as transferring the pitch control directly to the main rotor.
Two Types Swash Mixing for Selection - Choice for either MPM or CCPM in the same helicopter
Direct Tail Drive - Upper/Lower 2-piece type direct tail drive system, possible for tail control during autorotation.
