To say electric helis are everywhere these days is a bit of an understatement. Electric helicopter performance and popularity is on a level now that is unprecedented in the history of RC. And with the demand for more power and potential comes the demand for a heli platform that can handle it.
Enter the Vibe 500E. JR's latest foray into electric helicopter design has the benefit of drawing on years of glow heli development, producing a platform built from the ground up to dominate. The design is all new, and was conceived with one goal in mind: being the smoothest, most precise electric helicopter available. Features like the belt-driven tail, aluminum head and tail assemblies plus more, make precision and smoothness a possible reality. The result is a connection between you and your heli that feels like nothing you've ever flown before.
