That’s due in large part to sophisticated components such as a 2.4GHz radio, digital servos, LiPo batteries and much more. From the beginner-friendly CX to the more advanced FP and CP models, Novus helis lead the way in nano-sized innovations. Thanks to the Novus line of proficient machines, real R/C heli flying is literally in the palm of the modelers hand. The features and flying capabilities of these technically advanced models rival those of much larger helis – but anyone can fly Novus helis anytime and in any room of the house. Whether new to R/C or an experienced pilot, there’s a Novus model that’s right for everyone and ready to deliver hours of exciting indoor flying fun!
