Remote Control Helicopters Choices
RC Remote Control hellies have become a very common RC model lately and they come in a variety of prices and types.
Some of the problems that beginners face is what type of RC model to start with, gas for it and whether they want an indoor or outdoor one. With many more options on top of those you can see how difficult it is for beginners to get started.
The first thing we need to discuss is what sort of power source is the one to start with.
If you are a beginner RC model pilot, then the most sutable power source for you is electric.
Electrically powered helicopter engines are still very fast, but yet still quiet, and can manoeuvre just as good as a full sized fuel powered one! Another main attraction to electric helicopters is the fact that you don't have to handel any messy fuels or with tuning the engine at all. in adition fuel costs money and electricity is much cheaper.
If you are a new pilot then I definitely recommend that you get an electric powered RC model and then work towards a glow powered one.
Glow engines have been used in RC airplanes for a time now, and have become more popular in helicopters.
If you want to seriously get into the RC helicopter hobby, then a glow engine chopper is perfect for action, constructing, maintaining and flying! You will be able to modify your RC helicopter exactly the way you want it, change things such as hover time and rotor speed.
Once you get a feel for your chopper, and have everything changed perfectly, your chopper will respond just the way you want it and not the way the factory decided it should.
The next challenge you as a new helicopter pilot will experience is experiencing how to fly their chopper.
This might be big problem since a helicopter is the most difficult aerial vehicle to control and having a miniature version of one doesn't make things easier.
If you have no chopper flying knolodge and you try to fly it, most likely it will hit the ground. To save yourself frustration you need to learn how to properly put it together and control it.
I suggest that you devour the instruction manual, front to back, before you attempt to put it together and when you actually do, make sure you tighten every bolt and include every screw. Remember that just one missing screw or loose bolt can throw the whole chopper off and send it crashing to the ground because it is unbalanced.
Learning how to fly a chopper is a challenge within itself, and could never be fully taught on-line.
The best way to progress is to get real flying experience with an instructor at first, and then on your own later. You can find an instructor at your local chopper club. RC airplane clubs are most common and exist in just about every place, and since most of them will have experience with planes they most likely will also know how to fly RC model helicopters too.
