Learn to fly collective pitch helicopters with the Blade® 230 S Smart Ready-to-Fly Basic heli. One of the most widely used platforms, the 230 S Smart employs Smart technology, making it easy for pilots to see important information immediately. For those looking to develop their skills on a collective pitch machine, the 230 S Smart takes the flight experience to the next level. Engineered around the abilities of innovative SAFE® technology, its progressive flight mode system makes flying a collective pitch heli more comfortable, even if it's your first collective pitch helicopter. The 230 S Smart is packed with Spektrum™ Smart technology and includes the innovative and powerful Spektrum DXS transmitter. When flown with the included DXS transmitter or other Smart compatible transmitter, pilots will automatically know the flight pack's voltage. Additionally, the durability of the reinforced frame and main gear, ABS main blades, and metal gear servos are sure to hold up in the event of a crash. Whether you are looking to advance your skills or want a fun fly-around heli, the Blade 230 S Smart can help you be the master of collective pitch flight.

Skill Level 1 for the Blade Revolution 90 FP RC Helicopter
Skill Level 1 – No Experience Required
Skill Level 1 aircraft, like this one, are perfect for beginners and first-time RC (Radio Controlled) pilots because no prior experience is required to fly them!

Easy to Fly
Pitch and bank angle limits prevent overcontrol that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. And when the control sticks are released, the Revolution 90 FP automatically returns to level flight on its own.

Altitude Hold
The optional-use Altitude Hold mode automatically maintains altitude to make flying even easier! It also helps prevent climbing into the ceiling or descending to the ground too quickly.

Fly Indoors
Ultra-micro sized to fly almost anywhere indoors from living rooms to offices, in bedrooms, garages, and beyond.

Ready-To-Fly Convenience
This Ready-To-Fly (RTF) model includes a 6-channel transmitter equipped with Spektrum SLT 2.4GHz technology and everything else you need to fly, including AA batteries for the transmitter, a rechargeable 1S 150mAh battery, and a USB charger. That means there's nothing extra to buy so you can fly! The included SLT6 transmitter can also be used with other ultra-micro/UMX (Ultra Micro eXtreme) aircraft equipped with receivers featuring Spektrum SLT FHSS technology. It can also be used with the included trial version of the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC flight simulator and the "full" version of RealFlight Evolution!

The Blade 230 S Smart is optimized to handle light collisions and blade strikes, and in the event of damage, parts are readily available to make repairs simple.

The 230 S Smart helicopter features exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope®) technology. This revolutionary electronic flight envelope protection system makes it easy for anyone to fly helicopters confidently by providing flight mode versatility and Panic Recovery mode that automatically returns the heli to a level attitude.

The 230 S Smart is outfitted with bright orange Main and Tail Rotor Blades and a vibrant canopy that makes it easy to track the orientation, even on the sunniest of days.

The Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart Dual ESC transmits Smart Battery and ESC data straight to your Spektrum Transmitter. An Avian electronic speed control provides a one-wire solution for obtaining telemetry data such as motor output, voltage, temperature, and RPM. The Avian ESC 32-bit M4 processor produces higher resolution signal input and more accurate motor output for a locked-in and active throttle response.

Pilots get three flight modes with SAFE® technology. Stability Mode provides an envelope with a self-leveling bank angle limit. Intermediate mode removes the bank limit but keeps the head speed low, providing an easy transition from Stability Mode. Finally, Agility Mode unlocks the full potential of the 230 S Smart for 3D aerobatics such as stationary flips and tic tocs.

The 230 S Smart features the ground-breaking Spektrum™ AR6250MHX flybarless system. This flybarless controller features advanced adaptive flight control algorithms, forward programming, 6-axis M.E.M.S. inertial sensor, low-latency high-speed operation, and a vibration rejecting aluminum lower case.
