Description
Take to the skies with this 1/24-scale replica inspired by the real-world AS350 cureuil (Little Squirrel) and built by XK. The K123 combines scale looks and serious features brushless motor, 3D/6G flight modes, 6-channel control making it suitable for intermediate flyers wanting a compelling RC helicopter experience.
Key Features
-
Scale Appearance & Construction: The body mimics the AS350s proportions, with a rotor diameter of ~244 mm and trimmed fuselage length of ~238 mm.
-
Brushless Power: Main rotor motor is a 1106-11000 kV brushless unit; tail uses an 8502 coreless motor.
-
Flight Modes: 3D & 6G: The transmitter lets you switch between 6G mode (6-axis gyro, auto-leveling great for beginners) and 3D mode (3-axis gyro, responsive flight and aerobatics).
-
6-Channel Control: Full directional control (throttle, yaw, pitch, roll, plus swashplate/cyclic control) gives you an authentic single-rotor helicopter experience.
-
Compact & Portable Size: Flight weight around ~79.5 g (varies by battery) and overall dimensions designed for outdoor/in-doors in larger spaces.
-
Ready to Fly Options: Available in RTF (ready-to-fly) kits including transmitter, chargers, spare blades.

Why Youll Like It
-
The scale styling gives it a more serious look than many toy helicopters, making it a good step towards hobby-grade flying.
-
The dual mode (6G/3D) means you can start with a more stable, forgiving mode then move on to more advanced flight good for skill progression.
-
With brushless motor and full 6-channel controls, it offers a more satisfying flight feel compared to entry-level fixed-pitch indoor helis.
-
The size and weight make it more manageable than large collective-pitch models, so you can fly in moderately sized outdoor spaces.
Things to Consider
-
Flight time is short (around 5 minutes) in many listings you may want spare batteries for longer sessions.
-
While the size is compact, its still more suited to open outdoor space or large indoor areas wind or obstacles will affect performance.
-
Being a scale body, parts and repair may require more care (some users report that the tail or fuselage can show wear/fracture after crashes).
-
As with all RC helicopters, you need to be mindful of safe flying practices and local regulations (line-of-sight, no-fly zones, etc).
