Product Details

Another big step up in quality, performance from the awesome HDX450SE, the HC500 kit represents another hottest heli on the market with some CNC aluminum and fiber composite parts. This new 500-size heli is not as big as a T-REX 600 but just a bit bigger than a T-REX 450. Using 6S1P batteries that are widely used on T-REX 500 and 425mm blades, this is the ideal size for everyone who wants to have another kit besides the T-REX 450SE without spending tons of money on battery for T-REX 600. The quality and craftmanship is SUPERB!

This HC500 is an almost complete redesigned helicopter from HDX500SE by Charley Stephens and being intensively tested by world top 3D pilot Henry Caldwell.  After months of testing and revising, the HC500 helicopter kit is finally at its optimized hard core 3D condition.  Henry Caldwell said "This is the new HC 500. Charley Stephens reworked the hdx 500. I did all the testing for the improved heli. We decided to call it the HC 500, since I devoted alot of my time and feedback to the project. The HC 500 HAS alot of new features: new flybar cage for more flybar teeter without binding, new bladegrip arm that has a extra hole for adjustable ratio, new threaded flybar with new hc 500 paddle, new designed frames that will take sub- micro servos or mini servos, frames also have a adjustable battery tray for adjusting cg with battery, new designed canopy, shorter mixing arm that allows higher pitch applications, mainblade and tailblade grips have larger opening to accept standard blades

This heli can be docile to quick, it flys and tracks very well.

Back again. This is a great quality kit. There a re a couple of things you should order with the kit. I personally did not like the shape of the canopy that is supplied. It is too squashed looking for me and as a result it cuts down on the battery room. I just recently ordered the Trex 500 canopy and it fits like a glove. I also ordered the Trex 500 landing gear. This raised the heli up to a good height. The one that is supplied with the kit has you dragging everything in the grass. Gonna post some pics of the HC500SE with the Trex canopy and landing gear on my site at www.myhobbies.ca.

Ever made love while flying...? You'll be doing so every moment with this baby. I love flying it, every second of it, so much that I've been in the process of selling all my other birds, considering a second HC500! The quality is there, it makes Align's offerings feel and look like over-priced, over-hyped garbage by comparison. The programmable head is a great feature that not many other helicopters offer, and gorgeous CNC machining is to die for. Replacement parts are extraordinarily inexpensive compared to previous HDX500 models and competitor models and best of all they don't lack any quality that I've come across yet. It's a lot of heli for the money.

I received my new_strong_ HC500SE_/strong_ last week after it cleared customs and spent three very late nights assembling it. I am brand new to helicopters (June 2009) but I was able to assemble this copter with almost no problems at all. Everything went together extremly well and it shows that the manufacturer has paid attention to even the smallest details. All parts fit perfectly together and everythinbg lined up with no problems experienced at all. I was missing one 2 mil x 18 mil button bolt but other than that everything else required for assembly was there. Over the winter months I plan on installing the best parts that I can into this heli and hopefully flying it in the spring. I have documented every step of the build and will be posting a build blog to my hobby website and will post the address here once I have uploaded everything.  _strong_Congrats on a super kit!_/strong_

Well I got the HC500SE kit. Man everything was great...nothing to upgrade to here; accept your electronics and radio. The kit builds quick and flies twice as fast. Very responsive when needed; yet mild when you want it to be. It flies like it's on a wire. I'm running INO-Lab servos all around and a Spartan 760 gyro. Swe blades and Outrage battery. I'm as happy as if I had good sense...LOL. Seriously; this heli is for real and will fill your need for hardcore 3D and yet flies around like a sport chopper. I flown for a great deal of people and had numerous heli's and I can say that this is one of the finest 500 around. You don't need several hundreds of dollars to upgrade it to fly to your standards....it comes that way out of the box! Just my humble opinion! Fran Crosby Sr.

I'm back again; hey, if it's a great product, then someone has to let the rest of us (heli pilots) know. I had an oportunity to fly the HC500 Prototype for several weeks. Pilots if you are on a budget and want the best bang for the buck...this is most deffinatly the heli for you. Let me just say this...though the heli is inexpensive...compared to the T-Rex 450...the HC500 flies as good or better than the T-Rex 500 and feel like the 600...this is my humble opinion. I've been flying RC heli's since 1976 and have flown just about everything on the market and could just about buy any heli I could want. I chose this for my easy to haul, clean, looking good...in the car at all times...flying heli. If you get this, you will certainly not be disappointed!! Oh yeah...hiw about upgrades???? You do not need any mechanis upgrades...there aren't any better than what comes with the kit!! Just my humble opinion! Thanks for the read! Fran Crosby Sr.
