B222 Airwolf 500 Size Helicopter Scale Conversion Kit from Roban - RBN-KFHAW5
This is 500 class conversion kit of the B222 Airwolf helicopter from the popular 80's TV series. Designed to take your Chaos 500 or Trex torque tube versions and transform it into a scale RC version of the twin-turboshaft civilian helicopter. This kit includes the scale body with mechanical retracts (one servo is required but not included to operate all three retracts). CNC Aluminum landing gear is also included as is a side weapon set, tail fins, "wings", and mounting accessories.
When you open the box, the fuselage is completely painted in standard automotive base coat and clear coat for a super gloss finish. A removable canopy and nose section allows easy access to the battery and mechanics, and is factory installed with magnets and locating pins. This fuselage can be installed in as little as 4-6 hrs and is intended for the intermediate to advanced builder. No modifications needed when using compatible mechanics.
Features:
- Fully painted fiberglass scale fuselage
- Scale retractable metal landing gear (1 servo required to operate all 3 retracts)
- Base of fuselage is reinforced with carbon fiber for added strength during a hard landing
- Use of 500 standard equipment (6S Battery, 1400-1600kV motor), fly with your existing parts

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.
