KYOSHO MANIA

Here I'll try to give you, all the information available about Kyosho Helicopters. Why ? Because, I'm a Kyosho fan. Their model helicopters are not only simple, well engineered and easy to maintain but also fly steady and make you look good!! I and a friend of mine, Carlito, have a saying that says: Who Knows does w/ a 30 size Helicopter!!

Concept 30 SR-T

Concept 30 SRT

The Concept 30 has established itself as one of the best selling helicopters in the world - and for a good reason. It has the stability needed by beginners, yet it can peform aerobatics with ease. But that's not surprising, since it was designed by a world helicopter champion. The SR-T has many of the upgrades made since the Concept 30 was introduced including a longer tail, long main blades, taller main shaft, improved head design and rotor grips. The Concept 30 SR-T is reliable and economical to operate.

Concept 30 SR-X

Concept 30 SRX

With all the features of a top class .60 size machine, The Concept 30 SR-X has the performance to match! Developed from the Concept 30 SR, the SR-X is a futher refinement of the design that gives you unparalleled agility and performance.
All moving parts have been designed to reduce friction to a minimum and both the aileron and elevator controls(left/right and fore/aft cyclic) feature a push-pull linkage layout the guarantees reliable manoeuvrability.
The SR-X has an all-new tail rotor pitch control mechanism with twin ballraced tail rotor grips for greater control and tail accuracy. The tail drive linkage has been updated to the Concept 60SR spec with a shaft running in a tube for minimum wind-up. The stiffened front servo frames are also new.
The SR-X still features the same unique Concept 30 engine layout with integral clutch and drive gear making starting easy - without the need for belts or extensions.

Concept 60 Family


Concept 60 SR

Concept 60 SR

The Concept 60 entered the market as a model to be beat in its class. Now it has been made even better with many new features: no-slop push-pull cyclic linkages. Tail rotor drive shaft support along its full length to prevent shaft whip. Gearbox sealed againest dust. New metal parts for extra strength in the rotor head. Choice of flapping or see-saw for even better aerobatic flying performance. Composite-structure main rotor blades, with leading edge weights to move the blade C of G to its optimum position.
New, stylish and crash-resistant LSS resin moulded body. For flying precision and flying fun, nothing beats the Concept 60 SR. On the last World Helicopter Championships, held in Japan, it has finished between 5 best model helicopters in the world! Fly a winner!

Concept 60 SR Champion

Concept 60 Champion

The Championship version upgrades the 60 SR with advances developed by master pilot/designer Kazuyuki Takayanagi - including stainless steel tube drive and bearing for more precise tail control. Top it off with the optional Interceptor Body shaped to improve forward fligth speeds and aerobatic handling. It comes without body and main rotor blades.

Concept EP Family


Concept EP

Concept EP

The Concept EP takes the electric model helicopter into high performance outdoor flying with a design based on the successfully Concept 30. A porwerful AP36L and an 8.4V or 9.6V NiCd battery give it high speed and an aerobatic performance. Features include: autorotation clutch, strong glass reinforced main frame, aluminum alloy main shaft, metal balls fitted in the swash plate, belt-driven tail rotor, no-slop linkages and bell-hiller pitch control system with an in-line flybar for precise flying. The rotor blades are made from a composite OHS material for top performance. Strong, moulded LSS body. Set of 20 ballbearings included for minimum friction. Kit comes partially assembled from factory and requires mini-servos to operate.


Concept EP SR

Concept EP SR

New member of the family! It's a upgraded version of the original Concept EP that features a sleeker body, more powerful motor, ballbearings for smoother operation and taller main shaft to prevent boom strikes. It also accepts economical standard-size servos. Comes 85% pre-assembled.

Hyperfly Family


Hyperfly

Hyperfly

This revolutionary new model looks just like a helicopter but uses only two channel radio control and standard servos. The radio operates elevator(for up and down control) and aileron(for left and right control) with a constant motor speed. The Hyperfly builds easily 4-5 hours. Using Kyosho proven AP29 electric motor(AP29BB available as an upgrade option), this fabulous model is efficient and quiet to use. Hyperfly is constructed from a plastic frame, flexible moulded body and foam core rotor blades with a hard plastic covering. All this is finished off with high viz decals, so you won't lose sight of your model in flight. The Hyperfly flies without the need of a tail rotor and uses a moulded 'dish' for stability in the air. When flown in a slight breeze, the model can be made to 'hover' by matching the elevator control to the wind speed.
As the Battery power decays, just fly the Hyperfly up into the wind and land it like a plane! The motor is automaticaly shut off as the landing switch arm is pushed back as it touches down.


Hyperfly Apache

Hyperfly Apache

The Hyperfly Apache has the same features listed above and also recreates the look of the McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache, one of Operation Desert Storm's top fighting aircraft. It includes decals and clear plastic fuselage.
