Walkera is advancing the technology of model helicopter so fast no other company can compete. Co-axle models are rapidly disappearing from the line. Many of the models are utilizing 3 axis gyros making them very stable and easy to fly. Flybarless rotor heads are becoming almost standard. What will they come up with next?

Remote Control Helicopters!

The 1-A is a super stable 6 channel 3D helicopter. Unlike the toys this is a fully controllable that can perform loops, rolls and all the complex aerobatic maneuvers like it's big brothers. Having the belt drive tail rotor makes it amazingly easy to control. I found it very similar to the much larger Hiko 400, but much friendlier
