Completely assembled and ready to fly right out of the box the Blade 400 3D is packed with state-of-the-art features like brushless power, digital servos, heading lock gyro, CCPM control and symmetrical blades. High build quality and flight-testing at the factory mean there’s no pre-flight setup needed and its larger size allows it to be flown outdoors in breezier conditions that would see smaller micro-helis grounded.
For those who have mastered the basics of flight on smaller micro helis and want to further their skills the Blade 400 3D provides the ideal platform to simply taking the first steps into more advanced sport and 3D aerobatic flight . More experienced pilots will be able to enjoy all of the Blade’s 3D capabilities too; in just the time it takes to charge up the battery pack.
The Blade 400 is the first ready-to-fly heli to be equipped with Spektrum’s new DX6i advanced six channel fully programmable full range aircraft radio system. As well as providing self selecting frequency management and total freedom from radio interference DX6i’s DSM2 technology provides a super solid RF link and faster control response; a feature that enhances the 3D precision and performance of the Blade 400. DSM2’s ServoSync™ resequences transmitted data as it receives it so that mixed servos receive their command pulses at exactly the same time giving the pilot a more ‘connected’ feel to the heli.
The yellow and white canopy gives the Blade a ‘hi-vis’ presence in the sky and alternative canopies and stabiliser and fin sets are available as accessories. Replacement carbon fibre components are also available including replacement rotor blades.

The Blade 400 is the first ready-to-fly heli to be equipped with Spektrum’s DX6i advanced six channel fully programmable full range aircraft radio system. The Blade 400’s performance potential determined that only a radio system that could meet the demands could be in the box with it. Spektrum’s DX6i not only fulfilled the demands but also contributed to the performance of the overall package with its raft of 2.4GHz features, especially DSM2 ServoSync.
As well as providing self selecting frequency management and total freedom from radio interference DX6i’s DSM2 technology provides a super solid RF link and faster control response; a feature that enhances the 3D precision and performance of the Blade 400. DSM2’s ServoSync™ resequences transmitted data as it receives it so that mixed servos receive their command pulses at exactly the same time giving a quicker and more focused control response. As a result the pilot will experience a more ‘connected’ feel to the heli.
