EC-130 Med Flight 800 Size Scale Helicopter ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) from Roban - RBN-130MF-8 The Roban EC-130 Med Flight is a true standout in the world of RC helicopters. This 800-size ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) kit delivers unmatched scale detail and authenticity, capturing the essence of the full-size EC-130 from nose to tail.  From its distinctive fenestron tail rotor to its unique three-seat cockpit layout, the EC-130 is designed to impress. Whether used for rescue missions or sightseeing tours in real life, this model brings that same presence and realism to your hangar.  Roban’s commitment to scale fidelity is evident throughout. The fuselage is rich with realistic features—rivets, panel lines, functional doors, and a fully illuminated cockpit. The passenger cabin is fully detailed and expanded, giving the EC-130 a finished, professional appearance that stands out both on the ground and in the air.  At its core is the proven HSM-800 mechanics system trusted in thousands of models worldwide for its durability and smooth operation. The integrated fenestron tail system is equally time-tested and reliable, now featured in over 2,000 aircraft.  The internal layout mirrors the full-scale version, with mechanics housed cleanly in the engine bay and batteries stored below for optimal center of gravity. Access is easy thanks to a removable canopy, making pre-flight checks and battery swaps quick and hassle-free.  If you're looking for a high-performance, true-to-life RC helicopter with serious scale presence, the Roban EC-130 Med Flight delivers—inside and out.

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.
