Son : Dad, look at the simple rotor design on the small heli.

Father : Well spotted son. This is a fly bar-less heli so it doesn't have a stabilizer, only a main rotor.

Son : What's the difference?

Father : Control is direct so response is really good for 3D acrobatic flight. Gyros are used on all three axes, which is amazing in a design this size.
(FBL80 Readyset/FBL100 Readyset)

Son : They've just started a demo flight! It's amazing for a heli so small and quick! I've only flown toy R/C helicopters so I wonder if I could fly this one?

Kyosho Staff : It might be a little difficult for beginners, how about this mini Invader? With its single rotor, it's quite similar to larger helicopters. This would be the best step up from toy R/C helis with coaxial- type rotors. It's lightweight but strong and crash-resistant while producing a high level of control. Once you are comfortable with this challenge I recommend trying the flybar-less heli.


Father : By the way, what type of structure is this large low-wing plane over here? It looks as if the fuselage is cracked.

Kyosho Staff : This is the Calmato α60 Sports. In addition to the main wing halves, the fuselage also features a separable structure.

Son : What does that mean?

Kyosho Staff : The larger an airplane, the more stable and easier it is to fly. By starting with a 60-class airplane, you can develop flying skills much faster. But a large airplane is not easy to transport around. That's why this design allows you to separate it into sections. It can even fit into a sports car.

Father : I get it! A large airplane is better.
