This is the newest 2009
version of the 4CH Colco Apache V3 with improvements. This Apache is a
beginner-friendly micro helicopter that are also liked by experienced
flyers. Its unique design makes it easy to configure, control, and more fun
to fly. It is designed to both train pilots and entertain them by delivering
a stable flying platform capable of controlled indoor and outdoor flight.

The Apache has two sets of main rotors and a freewheeling tail rotor that
does not affect flight. The counter-rotating main rotors eliminate the need
for tail rotor compensation because they move in opposite directions,
canceling each other’s rotational torque . In addition, the blade sets give
it an added bit of gyroscopic stability, which allows mere mortals to hover
it with prowess.
The lower rotor provides cyclic control for the heli. To yaw the
helicopter (left and right), one of the main rotors either slows down or
speeds up to create an imbalance in torque. This results in the Apache
turning in the direction opposite to the rotation of the faster moving
rotor. Since the Apache is fixed pitch, collective control is governed
exclusively by throttle.
On the Apache, the roll cyclic is a bit more responsive than its pitch
cyclic (fore/aft control). This is because the very small range of cyclic
control can more easily roll the heli than it can pitch it along the length
of the body. This attribute actually helps make the Apache stable. For a
heli of this size, the responsiveness on both axes is appropriate.
For beginners, flying the Apache out of ground effect (first few inches
off the ground) is not difficult either. Unlike other micros, the Apache
tends to rise evenly rather than skate across the floor laterally. If you
punch the throttle, it has no hesitation in climb either. Optional Li- poly
battery will help to achieve better performance and longer flight time.
