Light Weight, and Built for Power!!


Introduced last year at IRCHA, MiniCopter’s new 550 helicopter is the little brother of the well known Diablo 700, and the Diablo-S. With their success, the 550 is natural progression in the line up of high quality German made helicopters. With a sleek, and unique design, the Diablo was made to run a variety of voltage setups as well as low/high head speeds.

As l expected from MiniCopter this new 550 plays the part of a high quality light weight beauty, backed by German engineering and I’m sure it will be a hit. Purchases can be made through PeakAircraft.

The majority of the design is from its larger brother the Diablo. Light weight, 10mm main shaft, and electronics placement. The well thought out design is all the way down to the wiring. Everything has a place, and wires have a channel to run through making setup a clean snap.
