WL TOYS Flying Invaders

Take your first steps into RC helicopter flying with the V912-A — a ready-to-fly (RTF) model that balances ease of use and outdoor performance for hobbyists and newcomers alike.

Key Features

• 4-Channel Control (Throttle, Yaw, Pitch, Roll): Full directional control lets you ascend/descend, rotate left/right, move forward/backward and hover sideways — providing a broader flying envelope than simpler indoor helis. 

• Fixed-Pitch Single Rotor Design: The V912-A uses a single main rotor with tail rotor setup (not collective pitch), which simplifies operation and reduces maintenance. 

• Altitude Hold via Barometer/“Air Pressure” Sensor: To help stabilize flight, the model includes an air-pressure sensor to lock in altitude during hover — making it easier for less experienced pilots to manage. 

• 2.4GHz Radio Control: Enables reduced interference, better range, and the ability for multiple models to fly in proximity without cross-talk issues. 

• Outdoor-Ready Size & Range: With a full size of roughly 40 × 16 × 8.5 cm and control range of approximately 80-100 m, it’s built for outdoor flying in open space. 

• Battery & Flight Time: Includes a 7.4V 1300mAh Li-Po battery in many listings, providing around 10 minutes of flight time with roughly 120 minutes of charging time.

Why You’ll Like It

• Great starting model: The altitude-hold and simplified controls make it easier to learn hovering, orientation and directional flight.

• Suitable for outdoor use: Larger size and longer range than many indoor helis makes it more versatile for open-space flying.

• Value for money: With a full 4-channel setup and a dedicated battery included, it offers a well-rounded package for beginners.

• Portable: While larger than ultra-toy helis, it remains manageable in size for transport and casual outdoor sessions.

Things to Consider

• Flight time is limited (~10 minutes) so it’s a good idea to have a spare battery for extended flying.

• Being fixed-pitch (not collective pitch) means you have less aerobatic capability compared to high-end RC helis; it’s more about stable flight than aggressive manoeuvrability

• Outdoor flight is best done in calm wind conditions — the model’s size and power mean it's more suited to open space than indoor or tight environments.

• Spare parts for budget/all-in-one models may be somewhat less accessible than premium brands — check local availability of blades/batteries if you anticipate repeated use.
