Walkera CB180z

CB180 series is very success since it appear in the market, the new Bell Rotor Head system allows the helicopter flies like nothing else, the 45 degrees flybar allow CB180 flies like Co-Axial radio control helicopter, which is beloved by beginners. Now Walkera decided to enhance the performance by assembling all the good electronics, like 3800kv Brushless Motor, Shaft Driven Tail Rotor, High Speed Rudder Servo, the 3-Axis Gyro with Auto Stabilizing Technology, this give the birth to CB180Z which is extremely easy to fly!
A little bit different with CB180D and CB180Q is, CB180Z improved the sluggish feeling and easily fail tail motor, while inherited the outstanding stability. Auto stabilizing system brought by the 3 axis gyro leads to a surprising stability. And torque tube driven tail ensure a smoother control over the tail when compare to separated tail motor.

What is Bell Rotor System?

The greatest feature on the CB180Z is the 45 degrees Stabilizer Bar, we call this design the “Bell Rotor System”. It gives the CB180Z totally new flying experience. Factory used weight blocks instead of paddles at the end of the stabilizer bar, this makes the CB180Z fly “Much More” stable than ordinary rotor head design, as a trade off, it flies slower, but more stable. We tested the CB180Z and we found that this new design makes the radio control helicopter as stable as a Co-Axial model, we think Walkera have done it in developing a Single Rotor helicopter for beginners!
CB180Z adopt 2.4GHz radio system and metal upgrades, that makes it even more durable and more precise. You may have a look at the CB180Z parts at RC helicopter store.

Found a 3D video about CB180Z, it’ s video require 3D glasses, instead of performing 3D flight.
