All About the EVO Flight Mini Stinger Indoor RTF RC Electric Helicopter 2.4GHz

The Evo Flight Mini Stinger can be described as the sister RC Helicopter to the Blade MCX. The Evo Flight Mini Stinger shares many of the amazing features that made the Blade MCX unique from other indoor micro RC Helicopters.

Included with the EVO Flight Mini Stinger

Mini Stinger

The EVO Flight Mini Stinger includes everything you need to fly, right out of the box. Here’s what is included:

  • The EVO Flight Mini Stinger Micro RC Helicopter
  • A 2.4 GHz, DSM-2 Spread Spectrum Transmitter (requires 4AA Batteries)
  • A Portable Lipo Charger built into the transmitter
  • 1 cell 3.7V 110mAh Li-Po Battery

The Evo Flight Mini Stinger is great for beginner and experienced pilots, because you do not have to buy any additional parts. You can use this helicopter to get experience and practice your orientation indoors when you cannot fly outdoors because of the weather.

Main Features of the Evo Flight Mini Stinger Indoor RTF RC Electric Helicopter

Like the Blade MCX the Evo Flight Mini Stinger has a proportional four channel radio. Four channel control means that pilots can fly the helicopter with four dimensions of freedom. The Evo Flight Mini Stinger can fly up/down, rotate left/right, pitch forwards/backwards, and bank left/right. With a four channel radio you can precisely control the Evo Flight Mini Stingers’ movement through all three dimensions. With a rotor size of 188mm (7.4”) and a length of 213mm (8.4”) this helicopter can easily fit in the palm of your hand.

The coaxial rotor design of the EVO Flight Mini Stinger provides this helicopter with great stability, and eliminates the need for a separate tail rotor to control yaw (rotation about the main rotor axis). The main rotors spin in opposite directions, canceling out rotor torque caused by their rotation. Coaxial RC helicopter are great for flying indoors, because of their stability and the precision control provided.

The Evo Flight Mini Stinger uses a tiny 1 cell lithium polymer battery for power. Unlike most micro RC helicopters, the battery is removable and interchangeable. Each cell provides 3.7 volts of power with a capacity of 110 mAh (Milli ampere hours). You charge the battery using the included transmitter, which runs off four “AA” alkaline batteries. A typical charge takes about 30 minutes and provides an average flight time of 6 to 8 minutes. Because the battery is interchangeable, we recommend that you purchase an extra so that you can use one while the other is charging.

Weighing only 1 ounce, the Evo Flight Mini Stinger is virtually crash proof. A sudden drop from a few feet above the ground won’t damage it, and in most cases minor collisions with walls are not a problem. Although it is not indestructible, the Evo Flights durability makes it an ideal present for anyone over 12 years of age.
If you want to get into the exciting world of RC helicopters, the Evo Flight Mini Stinger makes a great starting place. It will show you all the basics of RC helicopter flight, and can be used as a starting place to more advanced models. If you’re already an experienced RC helicopter pilot, you’ll like the Mini Stingers control and stability.

How Do I Know How Much My Items Will Cost To Ship

Single Product Shipping Cost

If all you want to buy is one product we show you the price to ship just that product on every product and category page. Just click the link or button that says “Calculate Shipping” and it will show you the cheapest shipping price for that one product. Once you have more than one product in your Cart your shipping cost will be combined into one shipment. In other words, if you buy 2 or more products the shipping price is not always twice as much, it is usually only a little more. See “Combined Shipment Cost” below.

Combined Shipment Cost

We always try to get you the cheapest shipping rates possible. Many times adding additional items to your cart does not increase the shipping cost. This way if you add accessories to your main product the accessories are basically free to ship in the same package. An easy way to find out how much different items will cost to ship to you is to first place the item or items into your shopping cart. Then, you will be able to press “Calculate Shipping” button on the shopping cart page to see how much the entire shipment will cost. On some products you can choose between up to 3 different shipping methods. You can also click on the “Estimated Delivery Time” link below those prices to see how long it will take with the different shipping options.
