Blade Bell 206 Jet Ranger 90 Fixed Pitch Overview
First developed and flown in the 1960s, the Bell 206 Jet Ranger design proved so capable and adaptable that more than 7,000 were produced in various versions over more than five decades — for everything from corporate transport to news reporting, and air ambulance to military use. Few helicopter silhouettes are more instantly recognizable, and now you can put one in the air in your own living room. The Blade Bell 206 Jet Ranger 90 FP is a scale variant of the very popular Revolution 90 FP, built on the same proven platform and factory-finished with an officially licensed Jet Ranger body including LED lights. It arrives 100% factory-assembled and flight-tested with everything needed to fly in the box, so there’s nothing extra to buy or assemble. That means you can be flying in the time it takes to charge the battery.
Exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology works in the background every flight, applying pitch and bank angle limits that prevent the overcontrol that can lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. Release the control sticks and the Jet Ranger 90 FP returns to level flight on its own. Switch on the optional-use Altitude Hold Mode and the model helps maintain its own altitude, keeping you clear of the ceiling and off the floor while you focus on learning the cyclic and tail rotor controls. Combined with the flybarless, fixed-pitch rotor head – which is simpler and more durable than a collective pitch design – it adds up to a helicopter that’s easy for almost anyone to fly.
The composite airframe is lightweight yet very durable, built to shrug off the bumps that come with learning, and the low part count means repairs are quick and simple should you ever need to make them. A full line of readily available replacement and spare parts, plus additional batteries, keeps you flying. The included Spektrum™ SLT6 6-channel transmitter uses 2.4GHz SLT technology and can also fly other ultra-micro/UMX™ aircraft equipped with receivers featuring Spektrum SLT FHSS technology. Its USB-C port connects the transmitter to your computer for use with the included trial version of RealFlight® Trainer Edition, the world’s #1 RC flight simulator, so you can log time on a wide variety of PCs (Personal Computers) running Windows 10 or 11, from low-cost laptops to “gaming” desktops.
