This year one of the most popular presents at RED5 is the incredible 3 channel Alloy Shark. Before we talk about the Alloy Shark its worth mentioning the helicopter it replaced, which was the Bladez 3D. This helicopters success was largely due to its stability and handling, and it was competing in a market that was more focused on making the smallest helicopter possible. The trouble with that is the smaller you make it, the harder it becomes to control. Measuring in at a whopping 38cm the Bladez 3D dared to be different and in doing so was able to offer precision movements like the smaller ones could only dream of.

The Alloy Shark takes that success one step further by replacing plastic parts with metal ones and giving it kudos in the looks department. Not only does it look great in the air, it now looks just as good when stationary!
The controls are what you would expect from the a 3 channel helicopter (forwards, backwards, left, right, up and down), and once mastered, give you the ability to put the helicopter just about anywhere you want!

More details can be found on RED5’s website, but just to put things in perspective on how good this offer really is, here is a price comparison on both the Alloy Shark and the Bladez 3D.
