T hey’re some of world’s greatest pilots and they fl y their
machines to the limit every time they take to the sky.
They’re The Flying Bulls who operate more than 20 unique
historic aircraft for and on behalf of the RED BULL ® Energy-
Drink-Company. Their pilots are the only ones civil certifi ed
to fl y full aerobatic maneuvers with a civil helicopter, the BO-
105, and they’ve been thrilling millions at airshows around
the world since the late 1990s. Horizon Hobby is excited to
introduce this high performance, offi cially licensed model
of the Flying Bulls’ Red Bull BO-105 CB Helicopter that will
enable you to recreate the Flying Bulls’ incredible aerobatic
airshow routines.
Your Blade ® Red Bull BO-105 CB 130 X helicopter has been
designed to fl y as much like the real BO-105 CB as possible.
Its scale 4-blade rotor head is stabilized with AS3X
® technol-
ogy, and the tail rotor is kicked up just like the full size. The
Red Bull BO-105 CB 130 X even offers the same kind of
fl ight envelope as the man-carrying version; loops, rolls and
even the mind-blowing “Chuckcilvak” tumbling maneuver
are within its capabilities.
