These are the parts you will need beside the Whiplash-G II kit:
Engine: we recommend a 300 size (29.5ccm), balanced and optimized for use in helicopters.
Muffler: you can use the Zimmermann Whiplash edition muffler or the M-Studio pipe. The Zimmermann is made from stainless steel and makes little more power than the M-Studio. The M-Studio is about 100g less in weight. Most of our team pilots use the Zimmermann.
Blades: we recommend 710 to 720mm main blades. We have good experience with 716 Rail, 713 Switch, 720 MS-Composite and we have a special 710 MS-Composite which is optimized for the Whiplash gasser and turbine. 105mm tail blades work best.
Servos: you need servos which can handle the vibrations of a gas helicopter. Most experience we have with Futaba, some team pilots fly KST servos.
FBL: you can use the CGY760 (including a FASSTest receiver) or the new CGY755. For both FBLs you will need a separate receiver which can receive the FASST protocol and has a SBUS output. You can use the R7006SB or the R7108SB for example.
Governor: it is highly recommended to use a governor at a gas helicopter. The Futaba FBLs do include a very good governor. So you will not need any separate one. If you use a FBL without a governor or with a governor which cannot handle gas engines you can use the Futaba GY701 governor.
Receiver battery: any 2S LiPo / LiFe or 5S NiMh battery with at least 3500mAh
Switch: we recommend a high quality electronical switch like the Futaba P-FESW-1D. It is important to use high quality connectors which can handle the vibrations. The Futaba switch comes with deans connectors also for the battery.

Good quality helicopter kit
Don't get any better than MA. Fit, finish, instructions, parts availability, and they fly superb.
Heli Direct is the go to place for anything heli related. Best prices, quick shipping, and customer service.
Quick shipping. Awesome quality on the machining and finish of all parts.
Great kit
The item arrived as expected and the parts appears to be of exceptional quality. I am still in the assembly process but everything seems to be going well. The instruction manual is pretty well written and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this model for anyone in the market for a well designed gasser R/C helicopter.
It’s beautiful when I open the box. Can’t wait to start building it. Merry Christmas to me.😀
Great service great product
I have flown many helicopters almost every brand that has ever been made in 43 years. Including some of the very expensive German company machines. I would have to say that the Miniature Aircraft Whiplash quality is superior.
All the parts fit together perfectly. The quality of the parts is superior. The best I've ever seen.
I like this so much, not even a week later I purchased another one.
I will be buying miniature aircraft products from this point on because the quality and price is great.
Even the cost of the replacement parts are very reasonable. I would highly recommend miniature aircraft. If you're looking for quality and price.
A quality kit for sure you won’t be disappointed. It’s what I expected from MA.
