M2 EVO MK2, Heli, ARF, Rotor dia. 434mm, YELLOW

The micro-helicopter M2 EVO MK2 with a main rotor diameter of 434 mm features a CCPM swashplate, controlled by electronically mixed servos via a flybarless rotor head. With the new 3G three-axis gyroscopic system, now fully configurable in the app, instead of the usual mechanical stabilizer and gyro stabilizing the helicopter around the vertical axis. It has a brushless motor and electronic speed controller with governor function. An intelligent control unit, suitable for helicopter beginners in the tilt-stabilization mode, as well as for wild acrobatics without limits in 3D mode.
Let's take a closer look at the latest gem from the design offices of OMP Hobby. The basis of the fuselage construction consists of a dural motor mount and main shaft housing with attached carbon fiber side panels and bulkheads, a plastic landing gear, and tail boom made of profiled dural tube with a carbon fiber vertical stabilizer.
The frame houses the new, more powerful Sunnysky® R40 brushless electric motor with higher KV750, which directly drives the main rotor. The tail rotor is also directly driven by a Sunnysky® R13-3 miniature brushless motor. This makes the entire mechanics as simple as possible and avoids problems with worn gears or slipping drives.

The robust 4 mm thick main rotor shaft is supported by ball bearings. The swashplate is made of dural, as is the rotor head with blade grips. Thanks to the 3G flybarless system and electronic CCPM, the rotor head with newly optimized geometry is very simple. The main rotor blade holders are a beautiful miniature of the holders of large RC helicopters - with all the ball bearings and damping inserts!

The helicopter's electronics consist of a new intelligent 3G Flybarless control unit OFS3 with an integrated electronic speed controller with governor function for the main rotor motor and controller for the tail rotor motor and three 10g digital servos (1.65 kg.cm, 0.08 s/60°) for controlling the CCPM swashplate (120°). To control the helicopter, you need at least a 6-channel RC set with a miniature receiver with S.BUS port (or also DSM2/DSMX and now also with the bidirectional CRSF protocol with telemetry - supported systems include TBS Crossfire, Tracer, and ExpressLRS). For normal flight operations, the transmitter does not even have to be computer-controlled (all necessary mixes are handled by the control unit); only 4 channels on the sticks and the fifth channel with a two-position switch for switching control unit modes with stabilization and 3D are sufficient. For classic and 3D flight, you will of course need a computer transmitter with 2-3 adjustable flight modes with at least 5-point collective curves for hovering and aerobatics, and another mode for autorotation. With the extensive setting options of the control unit in the smartphone app (including detailed PIDF control loop settings), most settings that previously required a sophisticated computer RC set can be made via the smartphone app (for iOS and Android operating systems). You can, but you don't have to - the control unit comes pre-configured. Its basic parameters can also be adjusted via the programming button and indicator LEDs on the control unit if necessary, as was the case with previous versions of OMPHOBBY control units.

The easily removable canopy consists of a very light thermoformed part made of durable plastic. The helicopter is powered by a 3-cell LiPo battery 11.1 V 750 mAh with a 60C discharge rate (with XT30 connector), which is mounted on the underside of the fuselage. It allows up to 10 minutes of easy flying or up to 4 minutes of aggressive 3D aerobatics.

The helicopter comes fully assembled with a pre-set control unit. So all you have to do is unpack the helicopter, connect your S.BUS/DSM2/DSMX/CRSF-compatible receiver, charge the flight battery, follow the detailed instructions with clear pictures to set up your transmitter, check all the helicopter's functions - and you're ready to go!

M2 EVO MK2 is a 3D helicopter with collective pitch control - and as such, it requires corresponding pilot experience. It is not a drone that you simply throttle up, it takes off and hovers without any control input. M2 EVO MK2 is suitable for advanced pilots who already have experience flying helicopters with collective pitch control (6-channel). However, with enough perseverance, prior training on an RC simulator, under the supervision of an experienced pilot, and using the stabilized mode, even an inexperienced helicopter pilot can fly the M2 EVO MK2.

The ARF helicopter set includes:

• a 100% assembled and ready-to-fly M2 EVO MK2 model
• Bluetooth® module
• a LiPo 11.1 V 750 mAh 60C flight battery
• a spare main shaft and main rotor shaft
• spare servo arms and a small set of screws
• tool for balancing the swashplate
• a sturdy EPP foam box with a hinged lid for safe transport and storage of the model
• instructions for operating the model and setting up the control unit
