Now you can learn to fly Collective Pitch (CP) helicopters and advance your skills with a scale replica of the iconic Jet Ranger! The Bell 206 Jet Ranger 235 CP is based on the best-selling Blade Revolution 235 CP and arrives factory-assembled, flight-tested, and ready to fly right out of the box for first-time to experienced heli pilots.
The Bell 206 Jet Ranger is one of the most iconic and recognizable helicopter designs of all time. First developed and flown in the 1960's, the design proved to be so capable and adaptable that more than 7,000 were produced in various versions over more than 5 decades – for everything from corporate transport to news reporting, and air ambulance to military use. And for almost a decade, more people learned to fly CP (Collective Pitch) RC helicopters with multiple versions of the Blade 230 S than any other model. The Bell 206 Jet Ranger 235 CP is an updated and upgraded version of the proven 230 and scale variant of the now popular Revolution 235, factory-finished with a Jet Ranger body and equipped with features that make it even easier to fly than ever before. It features exclusive and innovative SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, which offers angle limits and improved self-leveling to help prevent crashes in Normal mode, and no limits in all other flight modes – plus Panic Recovery to “bail out” at the push of a button if you ever need it!
Best of all, the Bell 206 Jet Ranger 235 CP arrives 100% factory-assembled, flight-tested, and ready to fly right out of the box-no assembly or setup required. The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes everything needed to fly in one box except for a battery and charger, so it's a perfect choice for first-time to experienced pilots looking for maximum convenience and value. It allows you to choose a convenient and money-saving Spektrum Powerstage bundle or the separate battery and charger you prefer. Plus, the included Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter can be used with other Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and BNF Basic aircraft after you learn to fly the Jet Ranger 235 CP successfully! A Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic version is also available for pilots who want to use their current Spektrum transmitter along with Smart or non-Smart batteries and chargers they may already own. And both versions include a Spektrum flybarless flight controller and receiver loaded with a Smart Transmitter File that allows you to import all settings for NX and iX series transmitters automatically during the binding process to make it easier and faster to get flying with your favorite or upgraded transmitter.
The RTF Basic version also includes a “full” copy of the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC flight simulator that runs on a wide variety of PCs (Personal Computers) from low-cost laptops to “gaming” desktops running Windows® 10 or 11. This simulator features many of the most popular Horizon Hobby trainer airplanes and helicopters, including the Jet Ranger 235 CP, along with built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons. It also includes additional features, including nearly two dozen “Next Step After a Trainer” (Skill Level 2) aircraft and variants, plus 4 flying sites/fields that are unlockable reward content after you fly the trainer models for just 2–4 hours. Other added features include a fresh and modern user interface that's even easier and more intuitive to use, multiplayer options so you can train and fly with others online, the option to turn on wind, unlock float flying, and more! This helps new pilots learn to fly successfully by practicing on a desktop PC at home or on a laptop just about anywhere else. Simply use a USB-C cable to connect the updated and upgraded DXS controller/transmitter to a compatible USB port on your computer to fly!
Plus, the fun doesn't stop after you learn how to fly! In the Stunt/Idle Up flight modes the Jet Ranger 235 CP is capable of performing basic aerobatic maneuvers, including loops, rolls, inverted (upside down) flight, and more. It's never been easier to learn to fly or advance your skills with a scale RC helicopter than ever before!
