3. Amewi AS350
Very beautiful scale helicopter with a 3-blade rotor head, 3D and 6G (beginner) mode. The model can be flown with both constant rotor speed (pitch controlled) and increasing rotor speed (similar to fixed pitch). In 6G mode, the model's tilt angle is limited, giving it flight characteristics similar to a coaxial helicopter (self-stabilizing). When you switch the model to 3D mode, the rotor speed noticeably increases, and agility significantly improves. Now, light aerobatics (looping, inverted flight, etc.) are also possible. The flight appearance of this fantastic model is stunning, and its design is absolutely scale. The equipment in this set is of very high quality and includes not only the model but also a top 2.4 GHz system with phase switches for all flight positions and a motor cut-off switch. Additionally, it is fully programmable. The model is already fully set up and ready to fly right out of the box.
4. Amewi RC Helicopter D500E CX Coaxial Helicopter 3 Channel
With the MD500E CX, entering the world of model aviation becomes a breeze. Ready to fly straight out of the box, this RC helicopter impresses with its easy handling, making it ideal for beginners. Thanks to the coaxial rotor system, it guarantees particularly stable flight behavior, allowing newcomers to gradually get accustomed to their new hobby.
The design, featuring eye-catching colors, is inspired by the original and provides an authentic scale appearance that delights both on the ground and in the air. The switchable LED tail light ensures excellent visibility, even in low light, enhancing safety during flight. Additionally, there are two speed settings to choose from, making the helicopter suitable for both relaxed flights and faster maneuvers. The modern 2.4GHz radio technology ensures a disturbance-free connection and precise control, even at greater distances. The robust hard plastic body can withstand the occasional rough landing.
Available as an RTF version (Ready-to-Fly), the package includes everything needed to operate the coaxial heli, except for household batteries for the remote control. The included LiPo battery allows for flight times of up to eight minutes. With the USB charging cable and easy battery replacement, the MD500E CX can be quickly prepared for the next flight.

6. Amewi AFX-135 Pro Alpine Air Ambulance
The AAA Alpine Air Ambulance, specializing in air rescue, has been operating since 2013 from its base in Aargau at Birrfeld Airport and since 2019 from the Balzers heliport. Its well-equipped helicopters are used for rescue missions, patient transports, and search and rescue operations. The main goal is to provide quick and safe medical assistance to individuals in case of accidents and illnesses.
Our AFX-135 Pro is a licensed scale model at a 1:32 ratio with an authentic paint job. The model is on par with its "big brother" – even the individual rivets of the cabin, made from solid plastic, are depicted. The helicopter features LED lighting at the front, bottom, and rear, which not only completes the impressive look and enables flights at dusk but also indicates the flight status and the voltage of the flight battery. For example, if the LED starts to blink and turns red, the voltage is too low. This alerts the pilot that it is better to return for a recharge.
A special feature of the battery is the built-in USB charging port, which connects easily to the included USB cable. The flight time with a full battery is about 8-10 minutes. Thanks to high-quality electronics, including auto-start and auto-landing, the flight behavior is particularly gentle, making the helicopter suitable for beginners despite its multi-blade rotor head. The high-quality 2.4GHz transmitter fits comfortably in the hand and offers the option to pre-select different flight phases (from beginner to advanced) as well as the option to switch from Mode 2 (factory setting) to Mode 1. Ergonomic control sticks are included with the comfortable transmitter. Additionally, the AFX-135 Pro can switch to reverse flight at the push of a button from a safety height of about nine meters.
7. Pichler MD500 RC helicopter
Pitch-controlled scale helicopter with brushless motors. Direct drive with brushless main and tail motor. Collective pitch control (CCPM). Ideal for beginners thanks to the 6G gyro. LED lighting (position lights). Remote control can be switched from Mode 2 to Mode 1 at the push of a button. Flight time of up to 17 minutes per battery charge. RTF - Ready to Fly. RTF models are ready to use straight out of the box. You receive a complete package with a pre-assembled model and a compatible transmitter - just unpack and start flying, that's the motto of "Ready to Fly" models. Due to its ease of use, this type is ideal for entering the world of model sports. Brushless motor. A brushless motor is an electric motor without brushes, which offers a higher efficiency, less wear, and lower weight compared to brushed motors. Pitch-controlled helicopters typically maintain the same rotor speed. To ascend or descend, the angle of attack of the rotor blades is adjusted. The advantage of this method is that the helicopter responds without delays. This allows for demanding aerobatic and 3D maneuvers, but requires certain skills. Therefore, pitch-controlled models are mainly suitable for professional pilots. Difficulty level: Beginner. No special prior knowledge in model building is required for this product. The necessary materials for completion and commissioning are usually included in the delivery.
8. Amewi Bell 206 Pro Brushless CP-Helikopter 6G
The Bell 206 Jet Ranger is a lightweight multipurpose helicopter manufactured by the American company Bell Helicopter and is one of the most well-known helicopter models worldwide. Originally developed in the 1960s for military purposes, the civilian version quickly found widespread use as well. This detailed 1:34 scale replica features a powerful dual brushless motor, appealing to both beginners and experienced model pilots. Thanks to the integrated six-axis gyroscope combined with a barometer and ground sensor, the helicopter offers exceptionally stable and easy control, making it particularly beginner-friendly. The automatic landing function at the push of a button further simplifies the entry into the world of model flying. Takeoff is initiated by simultaneously moving both control sticks of the remote control to the lower outer corner, which unlocks and activates the brushless motors. The model can then be brought to the desired altitude using the throttle/pitch lever, where it hovers stably thanks to precise sensors. Built-in LED headlights at the front and a position light at the tail ensure clear visibility of the flight orientation, even in low light conditions. A status LED on the top keeps the pilot informed about the current flight status at all times. Additionally, the ground sensor can be disabled via the remote control, and the maximum control throws of the servos can be individually adjusted. For advanced pilots, the model offers the possibility of inverted flight, which can be activated with a button on the remote control. However, this function is only available at a safety height of at least five meters and should only be used by experienced pilots.
