Sound and Video Cockpit Upgrade for the Roban AH-6 Little Bird 800
NOTE: we are only making this product as a special order. If you would like to purchase, please send us a note through our Contact Us page. Thank you.
The product photos above show a LiFe battery, which is used to show the video screens powered up. The battery is not included with the upgrade.
We've taken our Brickscreen video technology to new heights with this custom motion upgrade designed for the Roban AH-6 Little Bird 800 Size Scale Helicopter.
Our upgrade kit features two video screens, one for the upper cockpit console panel and the other for the lower console panel. A total of eight different screens and gauges are represented with custom motion graphics. NOTE: the screens do not display real data, but rather pre-loaded looping video animations.
For added realism, we've added real-world air traffic control audio clips that loop along with the videos. Two volume buttons are included and accessible through the opening in the bottom of the center panel--you can set the volume level or turn the sound off if desired.
You also have the ability to personalize the "login" screen on the cockpit with your callsign or any name you want to provide. We will program the login name into your specific screen, so it will be unique to you. You will see it each time your power up your Little Bird.

Specifications
- Video panels and upgraded power supply are added to your Little Bird cockpit center panel. All work is done in our shop in Minnesota.
- The upgraded panel operates on 9 - 40 volts DC, so you can connect it to your existing BEC. We maintain the power connector that ships with the stock cockpit, so once you receive it back from us, it is truly a plug-and-play installation.
- Overall power consumption for the upgraded panel is under 500mA, which is less than the amount of power consumed by the stock LEDs provided by Roban!
