EF Helicopters presents a new ready-to-fly helicopter, the Sabre. Big on performance and small in size, this new helicopter fills a
direct need for people interested in real helicopter flight who need a small and simple-to-operate machine that is affordable. The
Sabre is built and ready to fly right from the box. The integrated receiver, mixer, gyro and twin ESC assembly is factory-installed as
are the servos. This helicopter is 99% assembled out of the box. All you have to do is charge the flight battery with the included
110V AC wall charger and install 8 AA Alkaline batteries (sold separately) into the transmitter and you're ready to fly!
The Saber features a simple fixed-pitch head and lifting rotor blades for low head speed. This makes the Sabre easy to operate and
very durable for those “rough landings”. For those “seriously rough landings," EF Helicopters supports the Sabre with a complete
line of replacement parts.
Fly it indoors, fly it on calm days outdoors. The Sabre is fun, tough, and a great way to learn to fly and enjoy true R/C helicopter
performance.
