Key Specs
About this product
Experience aviation excellence in your own backyard with the FLISHR A109 500-Class RC Scale Helicopter, a stunning replica of the iconic Agusta A109 used by coast guards and emergency responders worldwide. Designed with realism and advanced technology in mind, this remote-controlled helicopter blends scale detail with powerful features, delivering an unmatched flight experience for hobbyists and serious RC pilots alike.
Historical Inspiration:
The A109 is a renowned multi-role helicopter from Agusta (now AgustaWestland), first flown in 1971 and widely deployed in military, rescue, and law enforcement applications. Its success and sleek design make it a perfect candidate for a high-fidelity scale model.
Realistic Design & Construction:
This scale model features an authentic U.S. Coast Guard paint scheme and a body crafted from lightweight fiberglass, offering high strength, corrosion resistance, and an ultra-realistic appearance. The retractable landing gear made from aluminum alloy further enhances realism while improving aerodynamics and reducing drag during flight. The wheels are sponge-coated to provide grip and shock absorption on various surfaces.
Advanced L7 Flight Control System:
At the heart of the FLISHR A109 is the L7 flight controller, powered by the STM32H743 H7 processor with a Cortex-M7 core, 480MHz speed, 2MB Flash, and 1MB RAM. This high-performance unit ensures stable, responsive flight in all conditions and supports extensive onboard features:
-
GPS Self-Stabilizing Mode
-
Attitude and 6G Mode
-
One-Click Return
-
Return-to-Home on Signal Loss or Low Battery
-
Quad-Satellite Positioning (BeiDou, GPS, Galileo, QZSS)
-
