See it in the air and you'll recognize it immediately as the multi-purpose helicopter that performs a variety of important tasks. See it up close, check out details such as the LED lights, and it's obvious that no other heli this size offers the scale realism of the MD-530. A fixed pitch, flybarless rotor head makes it more agile than co-axial helis, but easier to control than collective pitch models — and more durable, besides. The onboard TAGS (Triple Axis Gyro Stabilization) keeps the MD-530 flying smooth and steady, whether it's outdoors in a light wind or indoors in a living room or garage.
The MD-530 is available in assembled RTF and Tx-R versions. Both are compatible with SLT, and offer the ease of factory-installed onboard gear and the performance plus of a LiPo battery and charger.
Full-size MD-530 helicopters have been utilized in a wide range of applications, most notably in combat and special ops. It can provide armed support to both ground and air forces, with the ability to operate effectively in high altitude and hot conditions and a range of 250 nautical miles.
Total heli control — to the 3rd power!
TAGS goes far beyond a single-axis gyro, giving stability to the yaw, roll and pitch axes. That means you can fly your MD-530 with confidence, knowing that external forces will not adversely affect its performance. It's stability taken to the next level. Once you've experienced TAGS, you won't ever want to fly without it!
Magnets on the underside of the hatch offer fast, easy access to the battery while leaving the MD-530s scale looks intact.
The flybarless head features a low parts count, which makes it more efficient and more durable than a flybar design. It also offers a wider flight envelope.
The MD-530 uses rotary-drive, digital servos for speed and precision, and full case designs for damage and impact-protection.
Enjoy all-in-one convenience — and start flying in minutes!

Fly the MD-530 — and other Tx-R aircraft — with AnyLink and your favorite transmitter!
The beauty of Tx-R technology is that you can you use your flight transmitter — the one that's already set up just the way you like it — to fly virtually any Tx-R aircraft.
That's the simplicity and value of Tx-R. As long as your transmitter is compatible with AnyLink — and nearly all brands, bands and modulations are — it will fly this model. In most cases, all you do is plug the tiny AnyLink (available separately) into your radio's trainer or DSC port. Once that's done, you're ready to send 2.4GHz signals to the SLT receiver in your model. See Tx-Ready.com for transmitter compatibility and adapter requirements.
Another Tx-R advantage: the included components are installed and expertly matched to the model for optimum performance. There's no need to guess which motor, battery or servos will work best — you'll already know.
The Tx-R includes:
- The assembled MD-530
- TAGS (Triple Axis Gyro Stabilization)
- Installed motor, ESC, servos & SLT receiver
- 3.7V 150mAh LiPo battery
- USB-compatible LiPo charger
