Alias is equipped with unique, proprietary flight control software that delivers full six axis control. The flight system acts like a virtual spring that always snaps the Alias back to level flight when the controls are released. With the system in Easy mode, anyone can quickly master hovering and flying — just minutes after takeoff! The software was finely tuned to work transparently in the background to add fun and stability to flight while still maintaining Alias' quick, responsive control and connected feel with the pilot.

Alias is engineered for having fun, which means practically eliminating down time and costly repairs due to crash damage. Alias is equipped with a unique, molded-composite frame that is extremely durable. Whether you are just learning to fly or an experienced pilot pushing the envelope, crashing is inevitable. Alias is made to withstand impacts along the way for worry-free flying fun that goes on and on.

Visibility is critical for discerning the orientation and flight direction of a quad-rotor heli. Alias offers maximum visibility, day or night, with colorful high-intensity LED optics. When the sun goes down, the unique lens design and brilliant LEDs light up the sky, clearly defining the outline of the Alias and making incredible night flying experiences possible.

The LaTrax Alias includes four independently controlled, high-output motors — with 50% more power than standard motors. This extra power gives the Alias impressive quad-rotor thrust for performing high-speed flight maneuvers. Directional control is easy to achieve by varying the power and thrust from each motor. The high-mounted drive system elevates the props and the gears preventing them from getting tangled in grass and other surface debris when the Alias is swooping down near the ground.

The rotor blades, LED lenses, and canopies of the LaTrax Alias are all interchangeable, and allow full customization of the helicopter colors. Accessory rotor blades, LED lenses and canopies are available in exciting colors such as Rally Red, Victory Green, Brilliant Blue, and Speed Orange. You can give your Alias a whole new look in just minutes!

Comfortable ergonomics and precision control were the priorities when it came time to design the Alias transmitter. Alias is able to fly for long periods of time, so the transmitter is lightweight and fits comfortably in your hands. Out of the box, thumb pads are installed on the gimbals for easy, relaxed flying, much like what you would expect from a video game controller. For traditional pilots, sticks are provided and can be easily installed. The gimbals themselves were carefully selected to provide very precise control, with just the right spring pressure and linear feel across the entire range of motion. These gimbals are precisely tuned to the flight software to give the pilot a one-to-one connected feel with the Alias. Alias immediately builds pilot confidence as it responds accurately to the transmitter inputs.

Functionally, the transmitter is also designed to enhance your flying fun by simply being easy to use. The 2.4GHz control means you never have to worry about your radio interfering with others. Just turn on the power and you're always connected. There is no external antenna to break off or worry over. A detailed LCD screen provides clear information and visually guides you through the transmitter menu functions if you choose to customize how your Alias flies.

The Transmitter receives telemetry information from the Alias, and provides visible and audible alerts when the battery charge level in the Alias is low. This alert gives you time to safely fly the Alias back to you when it is time to recharge the battery. It sounds simple, but it's details like this that were engineered to work together to make your flying experience as easy and fun as possible.

The radio system is powered by Traxxas, so you can count on the performance and reliability. Plus it is backed by world class Traxxas customer support and the Lifetime Electronics Warranty. The Radio system also utilizes Traxxas Link model memory technology that automatically stores and loads the settings for up to ten Alias helis. You just power on the models, and let the transmitter do the rest.

The high thrust, low weight, and incredibly responsive control of the LaTrax Alias allow you to perform amazing maneuvers with just a press of a button and a flick of the stick. These maneuvers typically take pilots hours of flight time to perfect, and LaTrax makes them available to you right out of the box. They can be performed in succession for impressive freestyle air shows.

Flips and Rolls: Alias is programmed to perform single flips and rolls by simply pressing a button and moving the flight stick in the direction you want to flip or roll. Forward or back flips, left or right rolls, and even diagonal flips are possible. Alias can even be programmed to perform 3 or even 5 flips or rolls at a time and recover to level flight.

Twister: Alias will rotate around its center axis (yaw) while still maintaining a virtual heading lock and normal flight control. This is an extremely difficult maneuver that even veteran pilots struggle to perform. Alias does it at the press of a button while you continue to fly normally.

Expert Mode: For all of you pro pilots out there, turn up the rates to their maximum settings in Expert mode, and attempt all these maneuvers manually. Alias lets pro pilots push their skills to the limit without fear of costly breakage from crashing. Alias has the durability, power, and responsiveness to grow your skill as you become a quad-rotor ace.

To maximize flight time and fun, Alias includes a 650mAh LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery pack. LiPo is the best technology for Alias, delivering high-current output and plenty of capacity in a compact lightweight package. Flight times as long as 15 minutes are possible. Battery installation is simple; just slide the battery into the slot, plug it in, and tuck the connector into the special clip.

The Alias is too much fun to wait long between flights, so a USB high-output fast charger is included for the battery. Just plug it into any powered USB port, plug the battery into the charger, and you're on the way to the next takeoff. At full output, charge time for the battery is approximately half an hour. The LED keeps you informed of the battery's charge status for no-guess charging. An optional high-output dual battery charger is also available (sold separately).

Pro-quality, high-grade, metric hex-drive hardware is used throughout for extra strength, and easy maintenance and repair.

Soft compound rubber feet are integrated into the main frame construction to cushion impacts and to help Alias stick the landings every time.

The Alias rotors were designed in software and tuned on a specially-made dyno to provide maximum thrust and efficiency. A unique manufacturing process was created to ensure perfect balance for smooth and consistent performance. The specially-blended colors are super intense for extra visibility.

The tight fitting canopy is molded in super-bright colors for long range visibility. The durable material resists impacts. The canopy is easily removed if you want to change your color scheme.
