Overview
B412 LA Fire & Rescue 800 Size Scale Helicopter ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) from Roban - RBN-412WBR-S8
This is the Roban B412 LA Fire & Rescue 800 size ARF, a premium scale kit that offers unparalleled detail. From tip-to-tail the B412 body kit displays an accuracy of detail to the real aircraft not normally seen in the RC helicopter hobby.
This kit comes with a fully illuminated scale detail cockpit with illuminated dashboard, joysticks, rudder pedals, aerials, windshield wipers and more. Full rear cabin interiors are included (not installed). Floor and ceiling details can be crafted so once the interiors are installed you have an impressively scaled cockpit/interior.
These scale kits house the cockpit in precisely the right location and the mechanics are built into the engine compartment just like in the full scale version. The B412 really impresses with the highly detailed and accurately scaled down profile.
Note: The water tank in some photos above is custom made and not part of the kit.

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.

The paint is Perfect.....the red and silver has a real fine metallic in the paint. I have it nearly completed. The directions need to be redone, as pictures are not clear, and color would be nice, like online ones. There needs to be many more directions, as some assembly is not shown. As for setting up and adjusting all the technical parts and electronics is very basic. I will need to contact Motion RC for advise, and they have very smart people for this. Motion RC is my go to store for all my RC needs. They have more inventory than other stores. The mechanical parts are assembled, and they are top notch with sealed ball bearings. I worked for a Caterpillar dealer for 40 years and these Heli parts are of top quality, as I can see that. Cant wait to see the blades start turning.......Roger in Idaho.

Outsanding
The paint work is outstanding. This helicopter has so much more room for placement of components. Very tail heavy even with battery's. Very well packaged for safe transport

Winterprojekt
Meine Bell ist noch in der Schachtel, deswegen kann ich noch keine Beurteilung abgeben. Ich habe bisher nur die Rotorblätter gewogen und die passen gut.
