JR Voyager Electric Heli

We've now built and flown the new JR Voyager Electric. It's a well designed and very easy to build kit. It is both more rugged and more maneuverable than the Kalt Whisper, and the main frames and complete head are pre-assembled for you. Below you see Kurt flying his Voyager behind the HeliProz store.

Voyager comes with electric motor and a nice speed controller with BEC circuit (no separate RX pack is used) and a push-button arming switch. It's designed to hold regular sized servos or, with the included adapter plates, mini-servos. You'll want to use mini servos and a small gyro to maximize performance. Voyager is a CCPM heli, so you need a radio that does CCPM (3-servo, 120 degree variety).

As you can see, the Voyager is a nice looking heli. The decals look "cool" as supplied. The plastic canopy seems a bit heavy. In addition to radio gear you'll need a battery pack - 7 cell, 2000 mah preferred - and a charger that handles those packs.

At right you see the easily accessible motor and two of the 3 cyclic/collective servos. Kurt used 531's because he had those laying around.

JR claims about 6 minutes of normal flying, or maybe 3-4 doing hard aerobatics. Obviously you gain performance whenever you shave weight.

 

So far Kurt hasn't done any aerobatics. The controls are plenty responsive and this heli flies and hovers fine. The belt drive tail works great, and noise levels are of course very low.

We are waiting for parts list from Horizon, but we will start getting parts soon and will have complete parts support for the Voyager.
