Meet the RC ERA C189S MD500 1/28 Scale 6CH RC Helicopter, a new addition to the Razordon collection that combines military-inspired styling with modern RC flight technology. Finished in army green, this compact helicopter features a flybarless rotor system, dual brushless motors, optical flow positioning, and barometric altitude hold for a feature-rich flying experience.
Designed for RC enthusiasts who appreciate detailed helicopter models and versatile flight capabilities, the RC ERA C189S brings together six-channel control, multiple flight functions, and intelligent flight assistance in one distinctive package.
RC ERA C189S: Military-Inspired Design Meets Modern Flight Technology
Inspired by the recognizable MD500 helicopter profile, the RC ERA C189S features an army-green finish and a compact 1/28 scale design. Its dimensions of 33.5 × 32 × 12.6 cm give it a distinctive presence while keeping it suitable for enthusiasts who want to explore a smaller-scale helicopter model.
Beyond its appearance, the C189S incorporates several technologies designed to support flight stability and control precision. Its flybarless rotor design, six-axis gyroscope, and six-channel variable-pitch control system offer a more involved flying experience than a basic RC helicopter.
Whether you are expanding your RC helicopter collection or exploring a new model with advanced flight assistance, the C189S combines distinctive styling with a range of practical features.
Key Features of the RC ERA C189S
Dual Brushless Motors for Responsive Power
The RC ERA C189S is equipped with dual brushless motors designed to deliver strong propulsion and reliable performance. Brushless motors are valued in RC applications for their efficient operation and durability, making them an important feature for hobbyists looking for a more advanced helicopter model.
The dual-motor configuration is also designed to support outdoor flying. As with any lightweight RC helicopter, flight performance and wind resistance depend on weather conditions, so calm conditions are recommended for the best flying experience.
Optical Flow Positioning and Barometric Altitude Hold

Positioning and altitude assistance are among the C189S's key features.
Optical flow positioning uses visual information from the ground to help the helicopter maintain its horizontal position under suitable conditions. Barometric altitude hold uses pressure-based measurements to assist with maintaining altitude, helping reduce the need for constant manual adjustments.
Together, these features are designed to make hovering and controlled flight more manageable. Their effectiveness can vary depending on lighting, ground texture, environmental conditions, and flight setup.
Flybarless Design with Six-Axis Gyroscope
The flybarless rotor system is paired with a six-axis gyroscope to support flight stabilization. Combined with six-channel variable-pitch control, the system provides a range of control functions for pilots who want to develop their helicopter flying skills.
The C189S also features metal servos designed to support precise control inputs and dependable operation.
Multiple Flight Modes and Maneuvers
The RC ERA C189S supports a range of flight movements and maneuvers, including:
-
Ascending and descending
-
Forward and backward flight
-
Left and right movement
-
Left and right turns
-
Route flying
-
Special maneuvers described by the manufacturer as “whipping” stunts
Its 2.4GHz, six-channel control system gives pilots access to these functions through the supplied transmitter, which features a central control pad for a more precise control experience.
6G Mode and One-Key Flight Functions
For pilots who prefer a more stabilized flying experience, the C189S includes a 6G mode that uses a six-axis gyroscope to support stable flight. This mode may be useful for beginners learning basic helicopter control, although the model's six-channel variable-pitch system still requires practice and familiarity.
Additional features include:
-
One-key takeoff
-
One-key landing
-
Low-voltage alert
-
Stall protection
-
Loss-of-control protection
-
Large and small control-stick sensitivity settings
These functions provide additional assistance during operation but do not replace proper setup, careful piloting, and adherence to the instruction manual.
Modular Battery Design and Intelligent Power Management
The C189S features a modular battery design intended to make battery installation and removal more convenient. Its intelligent power management system is designed to help protect the battery and support its service life.
The included 7.4V lithium-ion battery provides an approximate flight time of 8–10 minutes per charge. Charging takes around 90 minutes using the supplied USB charger.
For enthusiasts planning longer flying sessions, an additional compatible battery may be worth considering, subject to availability and manufacturer compatibility guidance.
