radio controlled helicopter image

Loew T

I would like a radio controlled helicopter with a Camera also I need it to have a Receiver for picture (so I don't run into things...)

Answer
Don't expect to find a setup for under $2500. Go to www.helifreak.com and look under the the aerial photography section to get some ideas.

Looking for a hobby magazine that is strictly about radio controlled model helicopters?

david3flus

I am looking for a hobby magazine that's just about radio controlled helicopters. I have a copy of Fly RC, and it looks good, but it covers radio controlled model airplanes mostly. Sense R/C helicopters are much harder to master, it looks like there would be a hobby magazine that is devoted to the radio controlled helicopter hobby. Ideally I would like a magazine that would not only cater to the experienced R/C helicopter pilots, but would help the newbies like myself as well. There are just so many models out there for the beginner to chose from. The Chinese imports alone are too numerous to count, and their affordable! Then there are the hop-up parts, a whole cottage industry has sprung up around, making improvements in the basic Chinese imports. Can anybody give me an Internet site that will list all of the radio controlled helicopter hobby magazines? I know there must be several out there.

Answer
Go to your local Bookstore, they have a hobby section OR ask a Clerk at Radio Shack of there are actual Hobby Stores

mini rc helicopter syma s107 image

David

Where to find Syma S107 Helicopter review and best price online? I would like to buy new one from a reliable web store. Is Syma S107 parts available online?

I would like to hear your valuable suggestions and opinions before going to buy this product.

Expecting your reply

Thanks in Advance.

Answer
Own the New Syma S107 Remote Controlled Helicopter and experience the fun of flying one of the best and modern mini RC helicopters. This is the smallest and lightest RC helicopter on the market today produced by the well know brand Syma.

The New Syma S107 Mini Indoor Remote Controlled Helicopter can literally fit in the palm of your hand at approximately 7.5 inches long and weighing in at only 34grams. It is equipped with latest Gyroscope technology which is used to stabilize the helicopter's heading, not seen on many old style mini helicopters. The S107 comes equipped with a high grade metal body frame and not a delicate piece of plastic that many RC helicopters are made from.

You can go to amazon, from where you can buy Syma S107 helicopter best price online. To know Syma S107 customer reviews and price

What kind of rc helicopter should I be getting?

Chance

My dad is going to be getting me something for Christmas, $85 limit. I want a rc helicopter. Ive only had cheap walmart ones before, so i need some expertise. Im wanting a namebrand fairly decent sized helicopter that will be able take some minor crashes. I did a little research and it seems that the Align T-Rex 250 is decent. Any ideas? Remember I have $85 to spend, including taxes and shipping.

Answer
I wouldn't recommend the Align T-Rex 250, and it's over the budget anyways? The smaller the helicopter, the more crashes it can resist, and the cheaper the replacement parts are. Just the battery looks like it's 3 times more expensive than a mini helicopter, and you will need extra batteries if you would like to fly for more than 10 minutes.

Do you have a radio/controller already? If you do, you could buy the BNF version of the helicopter and it will be cheaper. If you don't, then look for the RTF version that comes with a radio/controller.

The Blade MCX RTF is $80 at Horizon Hobby
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/blade-mcx-rtf-EFLH2200
It's a coaxil heli, so you will have to fly it indoors and outdoors only when it's not too windy. It can take a good beating, better than the t-rex, and the parts are pretty cheap.

These 3 are some I have looked at while I was doing research about rc helicopters when I wanted to purchase one. These are fun, you won't be able to do 3D tricks with them though. It depends how many channels was the one you had, these are 3 channels and good practice.

The Syma S107 is $27 at amazon. It's a beginner helicopter, but it's small and reviews say it does good in taking crashes (4 out of 5 stars).

The Helizone Combat fighter 3.5 Channels looks fun. It's $36.99 on amazon, and you can look up videos on youtube.

The Syma S107C has a built in camera, and it's $39 on amazon.


I purchased the Nano CP X BNF, and a DX6i receiver, and depending your age and experience, this is not a beginner one. But it's just something to look for in the future if you want to get into the hobby. The heli cost me $160 online, and the reciever/controller (DX6i) cost me $70 USED.


You could also suggest to him to look on craigslist for used ones, don't be uptight about it and demand a new one if your father can't afford ones over $85. I bought the DX6i for my boyfriend from craigslist, and it came in original box and everything, for less than half the price, and he loves it anyways. You could find a used Blade MCX or MCX2 for a really good price, and if it's from a person that looks like it's their hobby, it will probably be very well taken care of.


you or your father should check out this forum's for sale threads:
http://www.helifreak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6

you can also feel free to ask questions on there, or check out the "newbie" section for advice, there has been many people also asking for a beginner heli, so you can read the responses.

Don't try to get a "professional" type helicopter because for those you need to make a bigger investment than just the helicopter. For an advanced heli you need an advanced radio, not the ones it comes with, and you will need to purchase a simulator to practice on because crashing the helicopter will cost you a lot of money!

Goodluck and have fun :)

i need to know a good rc helicopter to buy?

mini rc helicopter flight time image

Tyler C

i have some experience in flying rc helicopters, and i want to move a step up to a good 3d rc helicopter ( one that can do loops and rolls ) please post the link to a site if you find a good one..........any help is appreciated

Answer
I have just recently ventured into the RC Helicopter world. For my first heli I decided on an ESky Lama V4 which is what they call a coaxial heli. It has two sets of main blades stacked on top of each other turning in opposite directions & no tail rotor. It offers up & down(of course), sway left & sway right, forward & backwards, and spin left & spin right. After researching them a bit I found that the coaxial heli is perfect for beginners and novice pilots due to the controls being very easy to learn and master. This unit came with a flight simulator that allows you to fly right on your computer using the actual remote for the heli. It also came with a training kit to help aid in first time flights and landings. All this cost me about $85.00. It is a nice sized heli for still being considered a mini. It measures about 16" long and about 7" tall.
There is a another helicopter made by EFlite called the Blade CX and CX2. These are very close in comparison to the Lama but with a little higher price at about $120.00. Both are very nice helis and look great! Also both of these helis are easily upgraded to allow for individual tinkering and likes if your brother decides he really likes the RC helicopter as a hobby. Oh, I forgot to mention........ both of these are electric helis and can be flown indoors as well as outdoors. Hope this helps!

where can i find a R/C helicopter that can carry two small carmeras?

T Man

i have check out, target, radio shack, wal mart...ect, and they all have the same type of mini r/c helicopter, too small to carry a small carmera.
im looking a one that can carry two carmeras or 1 lbs. or will i have to get one of them gas power helicopter for this project??
Thanks!!!

Answer
uh huh... The previous two answers are weird... so allow a RC Pilot to lecture you with a few basic tips and ideas on what to get.

If you have never flown an RC helicopter, please do not purchase an expensive RC helicopter without the proper practice. It has been known that these helicopters have harmed innocent people, especially spectators. Gas helicopters are not necessary since normal electric helicopters are able to carry 1 pound in weight.
I would advise you to get the Blade CX or Blade CX2 for your project. The blade CX (2) is a known second entry level helicopter for beginners who are getting into RC flight. I have hooked up a camera to this helicopter and it has held up in flight for quite a while, so I would suggest that. This will cost about $189.99 USD.

would the transmitter for 4CH 2.4GHz Mini Radio Single Propeller RC Helicopter Gyro V911 RTF work on a BNF mcx?

mini rc helicopter 2.4ghz image

Fernando H

BLADE mxc2! I want both helicopters but want to save money. Who doesn't?

Answer
Not unless the V911 tx has spektrum technology... this is part of what makes Blade products so great. Where you save money is buying a good tx like the dx6 and then buy the bnf helis that will bind to that.

Are Radio Control vehicles dangerous for your health?

George S

I am thinking about buying a radio control mini helicopter and I am concerned about the possible dangers that could be caused by the radiation emitted from the transmitter.Do you think that they can cause possible health problems like mobile phones or wireless networks are said to?If so do you think that RC is more dangerous than IR DA?Any opinion is welcome.
Thank you

Answer
All kinds of radio waves can be potentially dangerous.
â[Lakehead] University president Fred Gilbert, whose academic interests include environmental studies and natural resources science, is worried about the health impact of the 2.4Ghz radio waves used by wireless networksâ. In effect, Wi-Fi was prohibited on most of the campus. âMr. Gilbert believes that âmicrowave radiation in the frequency range of Wi-Fi has been shown to increase permeability of the blood-brain barrier, cause behavioral changes, alter cognitive functions, activate stress response, interfere with brain waves, cell growth, etcâ. Unfortunately, science says he is wrong, and his students are suffering as a resultâ.
Therefore.....using all this kinds of things(including microwaves and mobile phones) should be done with care.
As for the guy above, radiation has probably burned his brain and has become an idiot.

How do I win a solar car race?

awesomenes

I need to know what is the best set up and vwhat techniqiues I should use,man. Come on I realy ned dis.
I need to know how to win a race with a mini solar car.I know that you have to make it light but I need other info.

Answer
If you are talking about a small size (as in toy car sized) solar car, then skip the batteries if you will be racing in an area that has full sun exposure. Use the the most efficient light weight solar cell available, and use a high efficiency motor (the type used in mini RC helicopters). If you need to use a battery, use the type that is used in cell phones and mini sized RC vehicles.... lithium polymer batteries (aka lipo batteries). They require special care, so be careful with them to avoid a fire, and read about them before you buy them.

Hello everyone, do you have any suggestion on buying rc heli?

small rc helicopter 3d image

min

Hello everyone, do you have any suggestion on buying rc heli?
i am a beginner for rc heli.i did a little research on big lama outdoor heli and falcon 40.which one do i need to buy first and what kind of spare parts to buy with it?thanks you guys.

Answer
A lot of people will recommend that you buy a large heli to start with like a .30 gasser. Most of these people will be old school and have flown for years. In the last couple of years heli brands and creators have really come up with some great innovation and precision for smaller helicopters and at a much better price.

The answer to this question will depend on many factors. How much are willing to spend and how serious you want to get into the hobby. Radio's with programming for much better accuracy can run from 100-500 dollars on average alone.

If you are a beginner and too scared to try something with alot of power and just want to fly indoors for the fun of it. I recommend the E-sky lama4 or Eflite cx2 coaxial heli's. If you wish to pursue helicotpers on a greater level outdoors the Guru-Z fixed pitch or E-sky honey bee fp2 are great heli's to start out with. I generally always recommend the 3rd option to people, simply buying a ready to fly 6 channel fully 3d capable helicopter and flying it in normal mode to learn on. This allows for you to expand and pursue 3d flying and more power options in the future. For these I would recommend Art-techFalcon, E-sky Honey bee king v2, or the E-flite blade 400. Like always it's best to start with a computer simulator to begin with and progress from there. A simulator can also help determine what style of helicopter will be best suited for you to start with.

Cheers,
Feel free to contact me with any questions pertaining to your purchase.

How can i control my rc helicopter from my pc and connect a camra to it so i can also see it out of my pc?

pony

I'm want to fly my helicopter around my city and control it from my pc

Answer
The radio control box you use now can be linked with software to a computer. Do a Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=transfer+os+to+another+computer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#hl=en&client=firefox-a&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&sclient=psy-ab&q=rc+helicopter+control+by+computer&oq=rc+helicopter+control+by+computer&gs_l=serp.12..0i13i30.62657.62657.2.65224.1.1.0.0.0.0.125.125.0j1.1.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.e4-v4YJr6zI&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=f4422cad1e203d45&bpcl=38897761&biw=1272&bih=610
You will need a high gain dish antenna to track the helicopter if you wish to fly farther than 300 feet from the control station. And with a GPS on board, the copter would be preset to return home if the link is lost.
For video link from the rc helicopter: https://www.google.com/search?q=transfer+os+to+another+computer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#hl=en&client=firefox-a&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&sclient=psy-ab&q=video+link+from+the+rc+helicopter&oq=video+link+from+the+rc+helicopter&gs_l=serp.12...64897.64897.3.71770.1.1.0.0.0.0.166.166.0j1.1.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.NaN05bHGy7E&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=f4422cad1e203d45&bpcl=38897761&biw=1272&bih=610

I have seen such RC helicopter video systems used by law enforcement, military battlefield intelligence, and professional motion picture cameramen on TV shows about technology. Now there are miniature electric copters with wireless video cameras on them for indoor use. You can fly around hallways and rooms with them. Some are inexpensive. http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/blade-mqx.html
Wireless security camera weighing a couple ounces is here: http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Wireless-Color-Camera-Microphone/dp/B000YM2OIK
You can input the composite (RCA jack) video into a computer with a video capture device on USB, but I would advise against it--might not work well with the radio control. You can use a portable TV like from Viore that will show the video well.

My Volitation Mini RC Helicopter won't lift off the ground?

top mini rc helicopters image

Isaac

My top rotor blade and my equalising lever aren't spinning, therefore it won't lift off the ground. I only got this today so I'm not happy that its already broken.

Answer
First question, is it fully charged?
Secondly if it is fully charged make sure the batteries in the back of the remote work
Thirdly try pushing the throttle up and down slowly, if that doesnt work make sure the antenna is pointed at the Helicopter.
Fourthly sometimes the batteries in the helicopter dont charge propely the first time, so charge them over night and try again.

What do you look for in a RC helicopter that is able to go left and right, back and forth.?

Thang D

My cheap one only flys up and down depending how much power you supply it. I am think it has to do with the # of channel. Can you recommend somthing that is cheap. Thanks

mini rc helicopter spare parts image

Halil Cank

THE Type of rc helicopter i would like is not a small one that is for kids and not an expert big one but a sort of medium one that i could fly indoors and outdoors and not too exspensive

Answer
HI there,

If you find the mini heli too easy i suggest you start with a 250 sized heli. that is not too big, can be flown indoors and even outdoors on easy days.
You could start with a 4 channel (not 3d).

In my experience this is a very good heli to start with:
http://www.rc-heli-review.com/rc-heli-reâ¦

Easy to fly, very easy and cheap to repair in case you crash it and there are lots of spare parts availible. ALs very strudy model so won't break down on a soft crash.

Good thing is that it's even flybarless wich makes for a superiour flying experience.
Make sure you get the hovering under control before you go all out on the sticks.

It costs 150 dollars but i'll last you a long time before you grow out of this model and you won't break it that easily. If you really want to get into this hobby start out with this one and then after a year you can always upgrade to something bigger and more agile.

What RC helicopter should I get?

Q. I'm 15 and I wanted to get an RC helicopter. I've only had one mini helicopter before but I want to get an Intermediate helicopter, because I'm buying it with my own money and it will most likely be a one time purchase. My budget is only $200.00. I only want the single rotor design (whatever that is called). It needs to be durable and perhaps fast. Also, I would like it to be able to go backwards, forwards, side to side, up, down, hover, and turn left and right (for some reason I think that's called 6 channel). If you could also help me with my terminology, That'd be great. Thanks!
What I meant by single rotor design is I don't like coaxial design. Thank you.

Answer
Blade MCX. Easy to fly, upgrade, and well within your budget.

What model is the best mini RC helicopter? For indoor use...?

mini rc helicopter toy image

linzter

What model is the best mini RC helicopter? I want it for indoor use, and would like it to be able to hover. Of course battery life and operating time are also factors.

Answer
I bought the Air Hogs Apache Havoc Heli for my fiance, it was $25 on sale at Toys R Us, it comes with a little target that you can shoot with a laser. The target is shaped like a satellite, it blinks and make noise etc. It is a pretty cool toy, the charge runs down after a while but he has never been very bothered by it. The only thing I hate is that hair will get tangled in the tail rotor and it will break, but you can get replacements by calling their company that are cheap. It hovers well, the turning is a little hard but you get the hang of it. I also bought him the UFO one, but it is not as fun even though it has cool light up action. So, that is my review of that although I haven't played with any others.

The project you are considering is nearly impossible if you try to do it from scratch.
It you buy a kit, you have a chance.

What do you look for in a RC helicopter that is able to go left and right, back and forth.?

Thang D

My cheap one only flys up and down depending how much power you supply it. I am think it has to do with the # of channel. Can you recommend somthing that is cheap. Thanks

Answer
I have just recently ventured into the RC Helicopter world. For my first heli I decided on an ESky Lama V4 which is what they call a coaxial heli. It has two sets of main blades stacked on top of each other turning in opposite directions & no tail rotor. It offers up & down(of course), sway left & sway right, forward & backwards, and spin left & spin right. After researching them a bit I found that the coaxial heli is perfect for beginners and novice pilots due to the controls being very easy to learn and master. This unit came with a flight simulator that allows you to fly right on your computer using the actual remote for the heli. It also came with a training kit to help aid in first time flights and landings. All this cost me about $85.00. It is a nice sized heli for still being considered a mini. It measures about 16" long and about 7" tall.
There is a another helicopter made by EFlite called the Blade CX and CX2. These are very close in comparison to the Lama but with a little higher price at about $120.00. Both are very nice helis and look great! Also both of these helis are easily upgraded to allow for individual tinkering and likes if your brother decides he really likes the RC helicopter as a hobby. Oh, I forgot to mention........ both of these are electric helis and can be flown indoors as well as outdoors. Hope this helps!

How to reconnect my antenna to my rc car?

small rc nitro helicopter image

Jimmy

my antenna got caught in the wheel and now it is ripped off of the car completely

Answer
Ops!! Don't run your car without it, but you probably already know that. You can get a new antenna and make sure it's the same length. Take apart the receiver and you need to solder the new one in. It's delicate work. If you can't, get a new receiver. Do you have a thin plastic tube that the antenna runs thru? If not, get one because it will really protect it. If you already have one and the extra antenna wire got caught in the wheel, then it's best to cut a small piece of fuel line or use rubber band to hold the extra wire onto the plastic antenna tube. I love this r/c hobby and have nitro trucks, cars, airplanes and helicopters, even an HPI 5B Baja Buggy and it's awesome. Hope this helps and good luck !!

Are there rules on flying RC planes?

BigArtD

I recently entered the world of RC planes and was curious about any rules or laws on flying planes. For example flying in parks, schools or even open fields, and also if the plane is electric or nitro powered.
I just don't want to fly in a school on the weekend and get arrested for flying a nitro plane.

Answer
This is if you are in the United States. Generally, you do not fly within 6 miles of an airport. You avoid flying in crowded area. Like in malls, a huge concert, or like outside the city shopping mall. No matter how experienced you are. You have to take into consideration of mechanical failures.
You do not fly over freeways. If your aircraft comes down onto a car, the driver could freak out (we give idiots licenses now) and crash because their precious car hit something.
Nitro or electric, it doesn't matter. The size does however. If it is too big, it is required to be flown in a certified air field. If it is small, a park will do.
Be sure to fly in places where there isn't a lot of people and that you are experienced enough to fly. It has happened before. Do not learn in parks where people are constantly gawking at your aircraft and steadily is starting a crowd. If you do not know how to fly and that aircraft hits someone, you are in deep trouble. So fly in parks where there are a few people, with enough space to crash if you have to.

You are allowed to fly in the school as long as you are not trespassing and you are allowed to be there and there aren't any children running after your aircraft. It has personally happened to me, and their parents are stupid enough to let them touch the helicopter blade when it was spinning. My defense, "Why didn't you watch your child like you're suppose to?"
So to conclude, use your best judgment. The important idea is to not get anyone hurt.

How do I build an rc helipcopter with a gas engine or an electric engine. Wich website do I visit to learn mor?

Nwokoye

Answer
I own a thunder tiger mini titan e325 3d its electric and i found it easy to assemble( having never done it before)

you can find this heli at many sites

http://www.towerhobbies.com/#

theirs lots of other places you could buy from too.

i would go with electric to start off. gas can be more complicated.

word of advice dont just buy the helicopter find someone willing to teach you how to do it without destroying it.

sometimes they can even help you set it up.

local RC clubs may be able to help you get more info on the hobby.

trust me get help learning so that you dont crash.

its a great hobby and once you learn can be great fun!

Mini RC plane?

wax

I recently bought my father an RC Super-cub for father's day. Looking at the planes at the hooby shop and online kinda inspired me to give RC flight a try also.

However, rather than get a full size RC model, I was wanting to get a mini-RC plane.

Here's what I'm looking for.

Electric engines
7-10 minute flight time
Small enough to fly on a football/soccer field.
Easy to fly
Highly durable
Ready-to-fly
Price approx $40 or less

It can be either ground takeoff or hand-launch
I like the thought of the dual-engine models that use engine speeds to turn rather than rudders, but that's not required.

Amazon isn't much help b/c of a lack of reviews on many of the models, and many of the RC sites don't give all the information I need to make a good purchase

Thanks in advance

Answer
Alrighty. I have the perfect brand for you! Have you ever heard of Air Hogs? Their product line is best for beginning pilots. If you are not a beginning pilot, then the easy to fly planes and helicopters are good enough for relaxing instead of dealing with those hard to fly and maintain hobby aircrafts. From what i read about the mini- RC plane, I have tested many of the RC planes that will suit you well.

The Air Hogs Aero Ace have been my most favorite plane in the product line for many years. Although one of the batteries in the plane died out from excessive charging (not product defect, but from flying over 100 times) I decided to purchase another one. This is a bi-plane, not the jet. The jet is also good. It is more aerodynamic and fast. The plane charges up in 30 minutes (or less) and could fly for over 10 minutes; depending on how you fly. I get 15 minutes out of it sometimes. These are all hand launched planes. They have dual-engine that turns, no rudders at all. These both charge from the controller. Here are the links to the products. (You do not need to buy from this site, but it is for reference)
The Bi-plane:

The jet version:

Here is the Air Hogs RC F-16. It is a fast and aerodynamic plane. Although some people have said that they have experienced problems, I have not experienced any when i bought it and flew it. It flies great and fast. The charging time is 30 minutes and the flight time is about 10 minutes. It charges from the controller. Here is the link to that.

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2673965

Those are the 3 highly recommended planes I would suggest to you from my experience. I personally think that the Air Hogs company is doing a good job at making beginner aircrafts. Check them out. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me, and i will message you back as long as you allow messaging in your profile. If not, please message me your email. Happy flights!
