Package includes the upgraded CB180Z-Pro RTF ready to fly helicopter plus an extra Hybrid head kit (not assembled). Total 2 heads in this package, one stock CB180Z head comes RTF installed on the CB180Z-Pro and one Hybrid head kit with Stay-True shaft. So when you have out grown the CB180Z-pro you can easily transform the stock CB180Z-pro head by replacing it with the included Hybrid (Uflys) head kit (assembly required for the Hybrid head kit). The hybrid system allows you to tranform the CB180Z-pro or V200D01 head to the Uflys head which increases manuverbility and wind tolerance. This head transformation can be accomplished in only about 5 minutes made possible by using the easy to adapt Hybrid-Stay-True main shaft. All Hybrid replacement parts are available from any Walkera dealers, the only part that is custom is the Hybrid-Stay-True main shaft from Wow, so you are never out of parts for replacement. The Hybrid-Stay-True main shaft is not listed for sale because it is practically indestructable and you may never need to replace it. However just in case, you can still email us to order it.
Many claim that their Walkera CB180Z, CB180D or CB180Q can fly outdoors on a windy day, but their videos fail to show proof of windy conditions. The truth is that no stock CB180Z/D/Q can handle more than 2 mph wind, no matter how good the pilot is. The stock versions of the CB180Z/D/Q will simply sail away with the wind, since they don't have enough cyclic servo travel to tilt and fly against the current. In this video you can clearly see how much the leaves sway, and you can be your own judge on how hard the wind is really blowing. Would 3-5mph be a fair estimate? The wind has a tremendous effect on how a fixed pitch heli is able to perform, so next time you watch a video, don't just look at the heli. Pay close attention to the leaves. Watch the video below and discover the real truth behind the Wind Rider.
Now compare to the video below after you have transform the CB180Z-pro Bell head to the Hybrid head.
There are several versions of the CB180Z. Buyers, please beware of the differences.
1. Stock Walkera CB180Z & WK2402 transmitter, also sold under other private label names in USA. You have to pick a super calm day to fly it.
2. Upgraded CB180Z-Pro Wind-Rider & WK2402 transmitter (without dual rate). The upgraded CB180Z-Pro has extended servo travel and is more agile than the stock versions. It flies well in light wind.
3. Stock CB180Z & WK2403 transmitter with the upgraded dual rate and throttle limit adjustments. This is a $15 radio upgrade from 2402 to 2403. You have to pick a super calm day to fly it.
4. Upgraded CB180Z-Pro Wind-Rider & WK2403 transmitter with dual rate which allow for tame or wild windy condition flights at a flip of a switch. It also has throttle limit adjustments. The upgraded CB180Z-Pro implements the extended servo travel and is much more agile than the stock versions. It flies well in light wind.
5. Upgraded CB180Z-Pro Wind-Rider & WK2801-Pro programmable transmitter with dual rate which allow for tame or wild windy condition flights at a flip of a switch. It also has throttle limit adjustments. The upgraded CB180Z-Pro implements the extended servo travel and is much more agile than the stock versions. It flies well in light wind.
6. Upgraded CB180Z-Pro Hybrid & WK2403 transmitter with dual rate which allow for tame or wild windy condition flights at a flip of a switch. It also has throttle limit adjustments. This model comes with 2 heads. CB180Z Bell beginner pilot head and Hybrid advanced pilot head.
Since the CB180Z was released, Wow Hobbies has been continuously pursuing a beginner heli that is easy to fly and wind resistant. As you can see, that dream has come true. Now the CB180Z-pro can be further upgraded when you move to the intermediate to advance level. This can be done by switching the head to the Hybrid head (Uflys head with Stay-True shaft).
This package includes ARF CB180Z-Pro (fully assembled), extra Hybrid head (unassembled head), Stay-True Hybrid main shaft, battery and extra main blades. However, it does not include the extra transmission gear set which does not come with the original CB180Z factory package.
What is the difference buying helicopters from Wow verses another Walkera dealer?
At Wow, all our RC helicopters are triple inspected and tested. After Walkera completes the initial post production quality assurance test, each shipment is tested again by Wow's China QA Center. The third and final test by Wow's California Warehouse includes an actual hover/gyro test and a multi-point inspection of parts and mechanisms. In addition helicopter shipped from Wow carries a no DOA (Dead on arrival) guarantee.
