AH-6 Little Bird 800 Size Scale Helicopter - ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) from Roban - RBN-LTB-8
The AH-6 / MH-6 'Little Bird' are light attack/assault helicopters operated by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), also known as the Night Stalkers. Both the AH-6 and MH-6 are based around a civilian airframe (MD500), with extensive modifications in terms of avionics and provisions for the mounting of specialized equipment and weapons systems. These aircraft are primarily used for close air support and transportation of US Special Operations Forces to and from confined areas. The ruggedness and superior maneuverability of the Little Bird have made it an extremely important asset to these covert forces.
This is the Roban AH-6 Little Bird Scale 800 AH-6 ARF. A premium scale kit that offers unparalleled detail. From tip-to-tail the AH-6 body kit displays an accuracy of detail to the real aircraft not normally seen in the RC helicopter hobby.
This kit comes with a fully illuminated scale detail cockpit with illuminated dashboard, joysticks, rudder pedals, aerials, windshield wipers and more. Floor and ceiling details can be crafted so once the interiors are installed you have an impressively scaled cockpit/interior.
These scale kits house the cockpit in precisely the right location and the mechanics are built into the engine compartment just like in the full scale version. The AH-6 really impresses with the highly detailed and accurately scaled down profile.

Roban Scale Helicopters are intended for modelers who have advanced level building skills. Both ARF and KIT product formats require you to install your own electronics (ESC, servos, motor, etc). KIT product formats also require you to install your own helicopter mechanics. Because helicopter mechanics can vary greatly in size and shape, you may be required to modify the fuselage slightly (including cutting, drilling, etc.) to achieve a perfect fit. Roban fuselages are all handmade from fiberglass and therefore may have slight variation in tolerances between body panels, doors, or windows. These variations do not affect flight performance and can be easily adjusted by an experienced builder with proper tools. These precautions are intended for novice builders; an experienced modeler should have no issue achieving perfect results with these premiere scale helicopters kits.
