DEAL 4 - The Interceptor 400
with Alien Command
Auto Pilot |
This is the top of the range
deal I offer, and this provides an excellent value for money
way to get into flying RC helicopters with the confidence
that you will almost certainly crash less, and therefore
have less to pay out for spares and repairs later on.
This helicopter is definitely one that you will not grow
out of, but will keep flying it long after you have learned how to
fly...
The price below includes the following items :
1 off Interceptor 400 helicopter. This helicopter has a
very strong but lightweight aluminium frame for
additional strength. When configured correctly, it is fully
capable of all aerobatics including what we call full 3D manoeuvres.
Included
items
1 off
Interceptor 400 Combo kit
1 off 3100 KV

card
1 off Alien Command (std) Stabilisation system (auto pilot)
Interceptor 400 with Alien Command as detailed above - £248.00
A GYRO is not included with the
helicopter, because
some people prefer to select their own type of gyro such as
the Quark or Futaba 401 high level gyros.
I would suggest the following
item :
Acer Labs G1000 Heading Hold Gyro at £27 - but you may choose a
different gyro if you wish
NB: Without a gyro fitted, I will not be able to test fly this
helicopter.
TOTAL COST for Interceptor 400 with Alien Command, with
the above G1000 gyro - £275.00
BUILD FEE - £40.00
TOTAL COST - Ready built, setup & flight tested
- £315
Additional
optional items

1 off set of training legs + £9.00
1 off Esky Lipo battery charger + £12.00
4 off Acer Labs D12MG metal geared servos (stronger
than the standard servos) + £34
1 off Aluminium style case

1 off Spektrum DX7 2.4 GHz Radio + AR7000 Radio Receiver. + £250
If
you want a better (painted fibreglass) canopy at only
£11.00 - Please click
here and order separately
If you want to
use larger or more powerful Lipos than those above, you can go up to the
RapidCharge 2200Mah 25C at +£19.00 or even more powerful
RapidCharge 2200MAh 35C at +£26.00.
NB - Using
these larger RapidCharge lipo batteries means the standard
Interceptor canopy can NOT be used, you will need to obtain
a Trex 450 or CopterX style Canopy of your own choosing to
use either of these lipos. The lipos are then mounted under
the main frame at the front.
The helicopter will be fully & correctly built, & then
fully setup to ensure it will fly as best as possible. It will then be
test flown to ensure that it is responding correctly, the gyro is setup, & the pitch range
will be set to the optimal range for a learner pilot.
Your chosen radio system will be
preconfigured for you with model being your INT400, which will be
setup to make it as easy as possible to fly when learning. Other
types of helicopter setups can be provided on request.
PLUS PLUS PLUS
The Alien Command
standard version of the electronic Auto Pilot system
will be fitted and tested, so that once configured by me, (or you of course) will allow
you to simply let go of the cyclic stick when you get
confused, and as long as the helicopter has sufficient
height, it will automatically recover to a level hover to
let you recover and land safely and one piece.
Alien Command makes take of and
landings and hovering very much more simple, and even helps
a lot when landing in gusty wind conditions, which can
increase the number days that you will be able to fly here
in the UK.
The Alien Command system can of
course be adjusted to be more or less powerful in it's
responses, and it can be switched on or off using a spare
channel on your transmitter. That makes it ideal as you
progress in your flying skills, as you can fly with it
turned off, but quickly switch it on when trying new manoeuvres,
or when it all seems to be going wrong for some reason
(pilot error usually)
TOTAL COST
£315 + £15.00
shipping (Fully built & flight tested
with and without AC in use, No radio system)
£330.00
If you feel that you want any
special parts, such as an improved ESC or better tail gyro, or
indeed anything else, I can both supply and fit these parts
for you at no additional labour charge if specified when the
helicopter is ordered. Their original cost will
be deducted and the cost of the requested items added.
Doing so will NOT INVOLVE ANY
EXTRA CHARGE AT ALL other than the additional cost of the other parts
you want me to fit.
