3. Amewi AFX4 XP
A perfect helicopter for entering the world of helicopter flying. Thanks to its self-stabilizing flight characteristics, this great model is ideal for transitioning from coaxial to single-blade helicopters. The AFX4 is delivered with the standard Mode 2 (throttle on the left) configuration, so most pilots do not need to make any adjustments. At the push of a button, the model can also be switched to Mode 1. With the integrated 6-axis gyro and servo travel limits, the model is very easy to control and allows for stable hovering. Additionally, the model is self-stabilizing, similar to a coaxial model. The remote control features an extra button to return the helicopter to a stable starting position (hover mode). The pitch and roll movements (forward/backward, right/left) are regulated to ensure that beginner pilots do not face significant challenges. If more power is needed, for example, outdoors in stronger winds, a dual-rate switch on the transmitter provides additional servo travel for support. With some practice, the helicopter can be moved very smoothly and quickly, making it an excellent training model for smaller spaces or indoor areas.

5. Amewi 4-Channel Helicopter 6G 2.4GHz RTF
The AFX-105 X is an authentic replica of one of the world's most famous helicopters, the Bölkow Bo 105, featuring a striking special paint job. The entire construction of the model is robustly built. The newly designed 4-blade rotor head is supported by a precise stabilization system, providing the helicopter with a completely new control experience thanks to auto-start and auto-landing features. With the innovative electronics, even beginners can now fly such a multi-blade helicopter without extensive prior knowledge. The AFX-105 X starts at the push of a button on the handy 2.4 GHz transmitter with an LC display and metal sticks, and it automatically hovers to a certain altitude. There, the model remains in altitude-hold mode, allowing the pilot to focus entirely on the essential functions of the helicopter without having to monitor the altitude simultaneously. The gyro system also controls the tail rotor, keeping the model stable in the air. For more agility in flight, the model features three speed levels, which are equally interesting for beginners and advanced users. Thus, the model is also suitable for outdoor use in light winds and can achieve high speeds during forward flight. To land, the start/landing button on the transmitter can be pressed again: the model gently descends to the ground. The motor has a soft start and soft cut feature, meaning that during startup, the rotor gradually spins up, preventing the model from spinning around its own axis. The same applies during landing: the rotor gradually slows down, and the motor is automatically shut off. As an additional safety feature, the AFX-105 X is equipped with a voltage monitoring system that continuously checks the battery during flight. When the base voltage is reached, the LED lighting in the helicopter starts to blink, signaling that it should land as soon as possible. If the pilot does not respond, the system will autonomously take over the landing to protect the battery.

6. Amewi AFX MD500E
The AFX MD500E is a detailed RC helicopter suitable for both beginners and experienced pilots. This model is a replica of the well-known MD500 helicopter and impresses with its many scale details such as rivets, door frames, and LED lighting. The helicopter is equipped with a 5-blade aluminum rotor head and features a robust construction made of impact-resistant ABS plastic. The brushless motors for the main and tail rotors provide powerful and dynamic flight maneuvers, while the built-in gyro electronics stabilize the model in all orientations, ensuring a safe flying experience.
Highlights:
- Auto start and charging function
- Switchable between Mode 2 and Mode 1 on the transmitter
- Flight times of up to 15 minutes per battery charge.
Pro
- very nicely done
- True to original appearance
- Easy to operate

7. Amewi AFX-105
The AFX-105 is an authentic replica of one of the most famous helicopters, the Bölkow Bo 105. The newly designed 4-blade rotor head is controlled by a precise stabilization system, providing a completely new flying experience thanks to auto start and auto landing features. This makes it possible for beginners to pilot a multi-blade helicopter without extensive prior knowledge. With the press of a button on the handy 2.4 GHz transmitter with metal sticks, the model can effortlessly take off to a certain altitude. It then remains in altitude hold mode, allowing the pilot to focus on the essential functions of the helicopter without worrying about height. The gyro system also controls the tail rotor in the background, keeping the model stable in the air.
For greater agility in flight, the model features 3 speed levels (dual rate), which are equally interesting for beginners and advanced users. Thus, the model is also suitable for outdoor use (in calm conditions) and can achieve high speeds during forward flight. To land, the takeoff/landing button on the transmitter can be pressed again, and the model gently descends to the ground. The motor has a soft start and soft cut feature. This means that during takeoff, the rotor gradually spins up, preventing the model from spinning around its own axis. The same applies during landing; the rotor slows down smoothly, and the motor is automatically shut off.
As an additional safety feature, the helicopter is equipped with a voltage monitoring system that continuously checks the battery during flight. When the minimum voltage is reached, the LED on the helicopter starts to blink, signaling that landing should be attempted as soon as possible. If the pilot does not respond, the system will autonomously land the helicopter to protect the battery.

8. Amewi AFX-135 POLICE 4-CHANNEL HELICOPTER 6G RTF
Super Scale replica of a well-known helicopter painted in the colors of the German police – the AFX-135 features numerous details that closely resemble the original. Even the individual rivets of the cabin, which is made of solid plastic, are represented. This scale helicopter is equipped with LED lighting at both the front and back, enhancing its striking appearance. Thanks to high-quality electronics, including auto takeoff and landing, the flight behavior is gentle, making the helicopter suitable for beginners despite its multi-blade rotor head.
The flight time is approximately 7-9 minutes with the integrated smart battery. The special feature: the battery includes a built-in USB charging port that easily connects to the supplied USB cable. Both the battery and the model have a voltage monitoring function (the LED starts blinking when the voltage is too low). This way, the pilot is always informed about when it’s best to return for recharging. The high-quality 2.4GHz transmitter fits well in the hand and features three different flight modes (from beginner to advanced), aluminum sticks, and the option to switch from Mode 2 (default setting) to Mode 1. The AFX-135 police version is delivered as an RTF (Ready-to-Fly) version, meaning all components – except for household batteries for the remote control – are included in the package, and the helicopter can take off immediately after charging the battery.
Required accessories:
4x 1.5V AA batteries for the transmitter.
