The JR® Forza 450 is an advanced 3D electric helicopter aimed to uplift the 450-class helicopter community onto a new performance pedestal. Designed around a reputation for quality and built for the pilot who wants the ultimate in extreme 3D flight, JR took everything they loved about their “big” machines and packed them into a convenient yet potent flybarless heli.
Key Forza 450 Features
• Aluminum main and tail, flybarless mechanics
• Main bearing blocks with integrated servo mounts

The integrated servo mounting points of the bearing blocks offer both a solid servo location and the accuracy of direct-linkage control of the aluminum swash plate. The servos are also very easy to remove. Adjustable aluminum (JR type) servo arms are included to provide accurate linkage geometry. The unique autorotation system features the one-way bearing in the pinion gear, which simplifies the main gear while also reducing weight. Helical teeth in the main gear help to keep the drive train smooth and therefore quieter. The large front pulley for the tail drive belt offers lower drag and the simple tail rotor control lever is slop free so you can have a bigger feeling 3D heli flight experience.
Two combo packages of the Forza 450 will be available so that you can also choose to take advantage of the new JR Mini TAGS01 flybarless control system available soon.
