XL48K01-1 - Protos 480 Kit with fiberglass canopy (RED)

The Protos 480 bridges the gap between compact precision and full-scale power, carrying forward the unmistakable Protos DNA into the mid-size class. Designed by MSH for pilots who crave the agility of a 380 with the authority of a larger machine, the 480 delivers the perfect balance of strength, performance, and elegance.

From the first glance, the Protos 480 exudes engineering refinement. Its carbon fiber main frame and aluminum reinforcement create a structure that’s both rigid and lightweight, capable of translating every servo input into crisp, deliberate motion. The 425–480 mm rotor range provides unmatched flexibility allowing you to tailor your setup from fast, snappy 3D to smooth, graceful aerobatics.

The twin belt drive system ensures whisper-quiet power transfer and mechanical efficiency, while the low parts count design makes maintenance and repairs quick and intuitive. Like all MSH models, every component of the Protos 480 has been optimized for simplicity, precision, and reliability in the air.

Aesthetically, the Protos 480 follows the Evoluzione lineage a sleek carbon boom, aerodynamic canopy lines, and a visually balanced silhouette that looks as fast as it flies. Every curve and contour has a purpose: stability, flow, and performance in motion.

Whether you’re exploring precision hovering or pushing the limits of 3D flight, the Protos 480 responds with smooth, predictable power and rock-solid confidence.

It’s more than a mid-size helicopter.
It’s the sweet spot of the Protos family where elegance meets pure flight energy.
