Blade Revolution 155 CP BNF Basic with SAFE

Learn to fly Collective Pitch (CP) helicopters and improve your skills in scale, sport, aerobatics, and 3D maneuvers with the Revolution 155 CP, a redesigned version of the extremely popular Blade® 150 S. This model is now even more affordable, easier to fly, and more versatile perfect for beginners and experienced helicopter pilots alike! The RTF (Ready-to-Fly) version includes everything you need to fly, including a copy of the RealFlight® Trainer Edition RC flight simulator. Both versions are equipped with a Spektrum™ receiver that features a convenient Smart Transmitter Function (STF) and is compatible with all NX and iX transmitters.

Blade Revolution 155 CP RC Helicopter Introduction

For nearly a decade, the Blade 150 S has helped countless pilots learn to fly and improve their skills with collective-pitch helicopters. The Revolution 155 CP builds on this legacy and offers meaningful updates that make it more affordable, easier to fly, and more powerful than ever. With the exclusive and innovative SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, it offers angle limitations and improved self-stabilization in Normal mode, while all other flight modes have no limitations. Plus, the Panic Recovery feature ensures you can get out of tricky situations at the push of a button!

Improvements and upgrades compared to the 150:
• Optimized flight controller tuning for better self-stabilization when switching back to Normal mode (SAFE)
• Redesigned composite frame with optimized servo geometry and improved servos for enhanced flight performance
• More powerful and lighter tail motor, as well as a new tail propeller for improved tail performance and more precise yaw control
• New color scheme and optional canopies

The Revolution 155 CP ships 100% ready to fly and factory-tested, so it’s ready to take off right out of the box. The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes everything you need to fly, making it the perfect choice for beginners and experienced pilots who value maximum convenience and great value for the money. The included Spektrum DXS 2.4-GHz transmitter can also be used with other Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and BNF Basic aircraft once you’ve mastered the Revolution 155! For pilots who already own a Spektrum transmitter, as well as batteries and chargers, a Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic version is also available. Both versions include a Spektrum flybarless flight controller and receiver equipped with a Smart Transmitter File. This allows you to automatically import all settings for NX and iX transmitters during the binding process, making it even easier and faster to get started with your preferred or upgraded transmitter.
The RTF version also includes a full version of the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC flight simulator, which runs on a wide range of PCs—from budget laptops to gaming desktops running Windows® 10 or 11. This simulator features many of the most popular Horizon Hobby trainer airplanes and helicopters, including the Revolution 155, as well as built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons. Additional features include nearly two dozen “Next Step After a Trainer” (Skill Level 2) aircraft and variants, as well as 4 unlockable airfields that become available as a reward after just 2–4 hours of training with the trainer models. Other highlights include a modern, user-friendly interface; multiplayer options for training and flying together online; the ability to enable wind and unlock seaplane flight; and much more! This allows new pilots to learn to fly by practicing at home on a desktop PC or on the go with a laptop. Simply connect the updated DXS remote control to a compatible USB port on your computer via a USB-C cable and get started!
And the fun doesn’t stop once you’ve learned to fly! In Stunt/Idle-Up mode, the Revolution 155 CP is capable of performing basic aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, rolls, inverted flight, and more. It can even handle challenging 3D aerobatics whether you’re an experienced pilot or just starting to learn these maneuvers.

Skill Level 1—No prior experience required
Skill Level 1 airplanes and helicopters, such as this model, are perfect for beginners and RC helicopter pilots with no prior experience!


Bind-N-Fly Starter Kit Advantage
Do you already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? With Bind-N-Fly (BNF) models, it’s never been easier to get airborne quickly while enjoying the best possible control. The models come pre-equipped with a power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4 GHz receiver. All you have to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, complete any final assembly steps and you’re ready to fly! (Transmitter, battery, and charger sold separately.)


Exclusive Technologies
The factory-installed and precisely tuned AR6250MHXG flybarless flight controller is equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE technologies. The updated SAFE technology provides angle limits and improved self-stabilization to prevent crashes in Normal mode. AS3X compensates for the effects of wind and turbulence without limiting flight or enabling self-stabilization in other flight modes, giving you full control even during inverted flight and aerobatic maneuvers. Plus, with the Panic Recovery feature, you can stabilize the model with the push of a button if you ever lose control!


Telemetry-capable
The Revolution 155 is equipped with a Spektrum Smart ESC, a flight controller, and a receiver that transmits real-time information such as the total voltage of the flight battery, motor RPM, and other telemetry data to compatible Spektrum AirWare transmitters (including DXS, DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6 through NX20, iX12 through iX20, and more) all while in flight.


Learn to Fly with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC helicopter, Horizon Hobby’s exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology helps prevent oversteering and crashes. At the same time, it offers various flight modes that give you more control and options as your skills improve.


Normal (SAFE) Mode
In this flight mode, the helicopter has limits on pitch and roll angles to prevent oversteering, which could lead to loss of orientation and crashes. As soon as you release the control sticks, the helicopter automatically returns to a stable, level flight attitude. This allows you to sit back and relax while simply “steering” the helicopter through the sky without having to constantly worry about keeping it stable. This flight mode also makes takeoffs and landings much easier!


Stunt/Idle Up 1 (AS3X) Mode
In this flight mode, there are no limits on pitch or roll angles, giving you full control! The rotor speed is higher and remains more constant than in Normal mode, allowing you to fly upside down (inverted) and perform basic aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, rolls, and more.


Stunt/Idle Up 2 (AS3X) Mode
In this flight mode, there are no limits, and the rotor speed is even higher, allowing you to perform even more aggressive and spectacular 3D aerobatic maneuvers.


Panic Function
If you lose control of the helicopter in Stunt or Idle Up flight mode, simply press and hold the Panic Recovery button or switch to Normal mode and release the right control stick. SAFE technology automatically returns the helicopter to an upright and stable flight attitude!


Collective Pitch
The CP (Collective Pitch) main rotor head assembly enables precise and smooth control and offers a unique combination of hovering, sport, and aerobatic capabilities that cannot be achieved with FP (Fixed Pitch) mechanics.


Rugged Precision
The improved digital servos with metal differentials and the redesigned composite chassis with optimized servo geometry deliver even greater precision and performance.


Plenty of Power
The powerful and efficient brushless main motor along with the stronger and lighter tail motor, which is equipped with a new tail propeller for improved tail performance and more precise yaw control is connected to a factory-installed Spektrum Dual Smart ESC. The system is compatible with standard, affordable 3S 450mAh batteries equipped with rugged and reliable IC2® connectors (or can be used with a suitable IC2 adapter).


Fully Assembled
The Revolution 155 comes 100% ready to fly, factory-assembled and tested right out of the box! Equipped with industry-leading Spektrum 2.4 GHz technology, the RTF version includes a DXS transmitter. Both versions can also be connected to most DSMX/DSM2-compatible transmitters with 6 or more channels.


Replacement Parts
If you damage parts of the airframe or components and cannot repair them, a wide selection of replacement parts is available.
