AW-109 ACE Scale RC Helicopter
AW-109 ACE Scale RC Helicopter
First flown on August 4, 1971, the Agusta A109—later the AgustaWestland AW109 and now built by Leonardo—was Italy's first fully home-designed twin-engine helicopter, known for its speed, sleek lines, and retractable landing gear. Police, military, and air ambulance operators adopted it worldwide, including Switzerland's Rega, which flew the A109 K2 on Alpine rescues from 1992 to 2012.

NACA 8-H-12 Flat-Convex Propeller
This airfoil series delivers excellent low-speed performance and high lift coefficients. Its thick cross-section generates strong lift, allowing lower wing loading and better takeoff and landing performance.

Auto-Retractable Landing Gear
The AW109 features auto-retractable landing gear that retracts above 2 meters and deploys below. Detailed panel lines, enhanced rivets, and authentic paintwork recreate the look of the real helicopter.

GPS Mode
The flight controller uses GPS positioning to help maintain the helicopter's position and attitude. When the sticks are released, the helicopter will hold its position in the air. This mode is recommended for beginners, providing an intuitive and effortless flying experience for everyone.
Freedom Mode
The flight controller provides a smoother flight profile by minimizing the braking force normally experienced in GPS Mode. It maintains hover capability while significantly allowing an open yet stable flying experience. Blending the safety of GPS and the fluid motion of ATT Mode, Freedom Mode allows a realistic flight experience. When the sticks are released during forward flight, the helicopter will coast at an almost level attitude and gradually come to a stop, instead of continuously drifting as it does in ATT Mode.
Attitude (ATT) Mode
The helicopter is limited from excessive roll or pitch, making it impossible to inadvertently flip the helicopter. The flight controller continues to stabilize the helicopter and provides altitude-hold function, but does not provide position hold as you would experience while in GPS Mode. When the sticks are released, it can drift with wind and momentum.
6G Mode
Similar to ATT, the helicopter is limited from excessive roll or pitch, making it impossible to inadvertently flip the helicopter. The flight controller continues to stabilize the helicopter, while the pilot has direct control over the helicopter's movement and collective pitch. The pilot is responsible for maintaining the desired attitude, as it is not automatically maintained. Reducing collective too much can cause the helicopter to descend and impact the ground. 6G Mode provides an advanced level of control as you transition from GPS flight to manual flight.
Manual Mode
The flight controller provides essentially no automatic attitude stabilization. The pilot has direct control of the helicopter and must manage its attitude and flight dynamics manually.
Smart
ReturnSystem
With three Return-to-Home (RTH) functions, the AW-109 ACE can assist the helicopter in returning to its home point when the relevant conditions are met (e.g., RC signal loss, low battery, or one-key return), adding an extra layer of confidence to every flight.
Three FlightSensitivities Mode
Flight speed, flight angle, and response speed are limited for easier control, ideal for beginners.
Standard mode during normal flight, both the flight speed and maximum flight angle will increase.
Flight speed, flight angle, and response speed reach their maximum for experienced pilots.

FAQ
Why does the helicopter lean to the right in a hover?
That's normal. The tail rotor counters the torque from the main rotor, and its thrust also pushes the helicopter to the left. The helicopter leans slightly to the right to balance that push.
Why is the helicopter unstable when I fly it in my yard or between houses?
Houses, walls and fences block GPS signals, which makes the hover unstable. Fly in an open area with a clear view of the sky.
Can the transmitter switch between Mode 1 and Mode 2?
Yes. The transmitter supports four stick modes, and you can switch between them at any time in the transmitter settings.
Why doesn't the helicopter start when I press the start switch?
The flight controller has to be armed first. Arm it, then press the start button.
With the blades removed, the swashplate doesn't respond normally to the sticks. Is something wrong?
No. The flight controller detects whether the blades are installed, so the usual blades-off gyro check doesn't work on this helicopter. Just follow the steps in the manual.
Does it come with Remote ID?
No. Remote ID is not built in, so you'll need to buy and install a Remote ID module separately.
How does the retractable landing gear work?
The landing gear works automatically: it retracts above 2 meters (about 6.5 feet) and extends below that height. You can also raise and lower it yourself with the L-GEAR button on the transmitter.
How many helicopters can the transmitter remember?
The transmitter stores up to 1,000 models. Once a helicopter is bound, it connects to the transmitter as soon as you power it on, and the transmitter switches to that model automatically.
