B206 Jet Ranger News 700 Size Scale Helicopter Conversion Kit from Roban - RBN-KF206NEWS2
This is the Roban B206 News 700 scale conversion kit. A premium scale kit that offers unparalleled detail. From tip-to-tail the B206 body kit displays an accuracy of detail to the real aircraft not normally seen in the RC helicopter hobby.
These scale kits house the cockpit (sold separately) in precisely the right location and are designed to fit your trex 700 mechanics or similar. The B206 really impresses with the highly detailed and accurately scaled down profile.
Originally developed as the YOH-4 for the United States Army's Light Observation Helicopter program, the Model 206 Jetranger was one of the first a generation of light single engine helicopters. Despite a losing the competition, the airframe was redesigned and successfully marketed to both commercial markets as the Jetranger, and military markets as the OH-58 Kiowa.
Commercially, the aircraft is one of the successful and recognizable helicopters ever produced. It has starred in films, served police and fire departments, fought in multiple wars, transported VIPs, flown aerial tours, trained generations of soldiers and Marines to fly, and operated as a medical transport.

Roban Scale Helicopters are intended for modelers who have advanced level building skills. Both ARF and KIT product formats require you to install your own electronics (ESC, servos, motor, etc). KIT product formats also require you to install your own helicopter mechanics. Because helicopter mechanics can vary greatly in size and shape, you may be required to modify the fuselage slightly (including cutting, drilling, etc.) to achieve a perfect fit. Roban fuselages are all handmade from fiberglass and therefore may have slight variation in tolerances between body panels, doors, or windows. These variations do not affect flight performance and can be easily adjusted by an experienced builder with proper tools. These precautions are intended for novice builders; an experienced modeler should have no issue achieving perfect results with these premiere scale helicopters kits.
