Beginner's Rc Helicopter Buying Guide

There are hundreds of remote operate helicopters ready in the market these days. It is prominent to pick a right helicopter for a right skill level. I am focusing here only for the beginner or novice flyers. There are few things you have to think when you buy your helicopter at the beginner's level. It is highly recommended that you buy an electric power helicopter because an electric helicopter does not make as loud noise as nitro powered machine and also, it can be flown indoor. The second thing you need to look for is the size of the helicopter. If the size of the fuselage over 12 inch, it makes harder for a novice flyer to fly indoor as it requires more power to lift off making it harder to control. If you have never flown Rc helicopter or still leaning, it is to your advantage to start with a small (Mini) electric helicopter as the smaller electric helicopters can be flown indoor in your living room.

You can begin with an uncostly mini helicopter that cost less than . They come with an infrared operate unit and some spare tail rotors. This type of helicopter has only 2 controls. They are up and down and right and left yow. In order to go forward, you may have to add minute weight on the front. However, this is good sufficient to convention to lift off and landing smoothly for the beginners.

The next step up is Megatech House-Fly Unlimited 2.4Ghz 8" helicopter. This helicopter has the Megatech dual rotor/fly bar technology which enables the novice pilot to have successful flights even while learning. The rotors are driven by 2 private motors for each router and 2 servos to operate pitch and roll. The turning right and left (yow) is controlled by differential motor speed. The tail rotor is not required in this model. With this kind of helicopter you can hover, go up and down, forward/backward, and slide right and left as well as turn right and left. I highly recommend to buy one like this with comparable functionality. It is very prominent to that the rotors are driven by 2 separate motors and pith and rolls are controlled by 2 servos. Once you mastered in this kind of helicopter, you can move up to level 2 flyer.
