Answer
You could get a 2.4 Ghz Pinhole Wireless Color Camera with audio for about $300. But at that, it is no guarantee your helicopter will fly with it. That seems like a small helicopter and the flight weight seems like it could barely fly with 7 ounces. I would suggest getting a slightly bigger helicopter first.

look at that vid and tell me what is that spinning thing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guUMvuX7_7Q



Answer
They are the drive gears to connect the motor to the rotor
The small pinion gears are connected to the motor shaft and the large main gears to the helicopter blade rotor shaft like this:

NCZ


Can I take a cooling fan from an old computer, attached RC helicopter rotors to it,and give it enough downward thrust for vertical lift? Thanks.


Answer
Its possible but difficult and even if you do get lift, its going to be difficult to control as you may not have the proper items to keep the helicopter from hovering properly
Try this instead - its already being done:

Answer
The hardest part is finding something small enough to work with your helicopter. Most of the miniature spy cameras run on a 9 volt battery.

Is your helicopter strong enough to lift a 9 volt batter? How about two of them? You could try taping two batteries together (do NOT connect their terminals). If you can fly that around, you can probably find a good spy camera to use.

If you can't lift the batteries, then the costs for a wireless mini camera is going to go WAY up. Getting super tiny cameras is quite expensive.

my car is messed up okay? I got my rc car from my grandpa, recently, and when i got it the turning wasn't very good. now it wont turn AT ALL. where can i go to fix it.

These are the ones I was able to pick out between the car not RC shops in VA. I hope you will be able to find one for yourself but if your going to leave it there get a receipt or something in writing that they have your RC.

What kind of rc helicopter should I be getting?

 on Channel RC Military Gyro Mini Indoor Helicopter Viefly... | Shop ...
mini rc helicopters amazon image



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 :)

SweetAsBro


I need 2 of them as i need them to be able to be attached to my RC helicopter. Anyone know where i can pick 2 of them up with there own monitor?


Answer
Sounds like you just need a wireless pin-hole camera system. Try a YouTube video search: 'RC helicopter video camera'. Many of the posters state what cameras they are using.

Also do a google search with the same words. I found dozens of results.

How to use 3 Wireless mini video cam?




Slash25


Hi,
im working on a project, which includes using 2-3 wireless mini video cam attached on a RC helicopter. is there a transmitter/receiver(whats the diff between them) that can be used to control the 3 cams that wont interfere with each others signals to the laptop for multi display which if theres a transmitter/reciever that can be connected via USB? is it possible?



Answer
This sounds like a project you wont be capable of completing without better knowledge of the electronics you are using... A transmitter transmits a radio wave whereas a receiver receives it. And yes it could be used if you know how to wire and mount them properly.

thank you



Answer
As a fair but not great r/c heli pilot who owns a dozen or so helicopters, here's my $0.02 worth.

Your first decision is what type of heli to buy. There are three types in the batch you've listed above; co-axial (two counter-rotating main blades like the Walkera 5#10 above), fixed pitch (like the Falcon 40), or 3D (which most of your proposed heli's are ... like the EXI 450LE)

I have and have flown helicopters like each of these. Here's my take:

Co-axial: easiest to fly and cheap, but limited in that they can't perform prolonged forward flight or any acrobatics

Fixed pitch: harder to fly, cheap, no acrobatics

3D (Collective Pitch): harder to fly, most expensive and hardest to set up, but most versitile (with practice, these can do anything)

I'd recommend:

Co-axial: if you go this route, I'd buy an E-Flight Blade MCX. It's tiny, perfect for flying around the house, and is AMAZINGLY stable (even for a coaxial heli). If you want something a little bigger, try either the E-Flight Blade CX2 or E-Sky Co-Lama V4.

Fixed Pitch: I'd skip it...

3D: For starting out I'd go with the Eflight Blade 400 because it has relatively inexpensive replacement parts. Alternatively, I consider the Thunder Tiger Mini-Titan E325 or the Align TRex 450. All of these are well built, are widely available, and have lots of dealers stocking parts.
Bear in mind that all of these are sold in varrying degrees of completion... all need a motor, speed controler, battery, 3 cyclic servos, gyro and tail servo. These electronics can run $$, so don't get sucked in by something that costs $60 (and may cost $400 to complete). Read the fine print and understand what quality components you're buying (I ended up replacing all the servos, gyro, and battery on my first heli within weeks).

Also, if you're going to go all-in along the 3D route, start by buying yourself a decent transmitter that you can grow with. I'd recommend the Specktrum DX7 (great) or JR9303 2.4Ghz (best) if you have the cash (if not the Specktrum DX6i is good too).

Finally, buiding these things (other than the coaxial helis) can be a bit tricky and set-up is critical if you want to successfully fly. I'd spend some time on the r/c heli boards (runryder and helifever are good) and/or find a local hobby shop that caters to heli pilots.

Ok, that's it... good luck!

which mini rc heli should i get?




Dan H


plz help i dont no which 2 get


Answer
The best all around one is the Blade CX2. The replacement parts are cheap ($1 per blade) and available at your local rc hobby store. It also more than a toy it's four full channels and a good foot in the door for a collective pitch helicopter.

Why does my RC helicopter spin in circles?

mini rc helicopter rotor blades
 on Gro�es Bild : Billigste kleine Mini 4 Kanal RC Elektro Helikopter mit ...
mini rc helicopter rotor blades image



Jessica


when i was playing with my RC Helicopter it fell and it couldn't rise anymore it just spins in circles... the module type is Vision SO10 mini 3... pls help!


Answer
In a coaxial copter like yours, the tail rotor serves to pitch the copter to go forwards or backwards. The coaxial blades spin in opposite directions to counter act the spin force that a tail rotor would otherwise handle.

What this means for you is that one set of blades is spinning faster than the other, causing the bird to spin around. If you have a trim adjustment on the throttle stick, you can use it to make one motor spin faster than the other. Or, to balance them out rather.

How do I Make a RC Remote?




Alex


I lost the remote for a Brookstone Silver Bullet helicopter. I know that it's not a big deal, but I don't just want to throw it away. If you don't know the answer, can you think of some creative ways I could use the parts of the helicopter? By the way, this helicopter still works perfectly and the romote uses an infrared senser. Thanks!


Answer
You could try contacting Brookstone and see if you could by an extra remote. Or, since they seem cheap ($29.99) just buy a whole new helicopter/control, and then you'd have an "extra" helicopter for parts. http://www.brookstone.com/mini-remote-control-rc-helicopters

Trying to build your own remote would be next to impossible (unless you're an electronics engineer, in which case why are you asking?)

Another possibility is to try a different brand of helicopter, such as the Blade series helicopters from Eflite. They are quite a bit more expensive, but they use what is called "Bind N Fly" technology which allows you to use better transmitters for the helicopter if you wish. As well as the Blade helicopters are fully repairable down to the last little screw or bit of plastic. I have the predecessor to the mSR X, and I love it. Tough as can be, challenging to fly (if you've never flown a heli before) but once I learned how to do it, it is tons of fun.

the Blade mCX coaxial helicopter (similar to your Brookstone in that it is coaxial)
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/blade-mcx-rtf-EFLH2200
or
the Blade mSR X which is a single main rotor with a working tail rotor. Harder to fly, but much more realistic looking.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!?




Sarcastic


i have recently(an hour ago) purchased a miniature rc helicopter ( syma s109g apache). it had a decent flight time and found flying it challenging yet very enjoyalable. i have no experience with rc helicopters prior to this helicopter. the heli also has two LEDs which i think is an unnescesary waste of battery power which could be used to increase flight time. So....my question(s) is/are
1)how do i safely remove the led lights without causing a short circuit?
2) do i need components like resistors and uf so, what ohm or unit should it be(there are 2 leds) and how do i connect the circuit without a solderung tool but i do have a hot glue gun
3) how do i generally increase flight time or reduce recharge time?im not to sure of what battery it uses

i will be very grateful for any information you guys can provide. links to related websites would really help. And i apologize if u had trouble undersanding wat im trying to say. enlish isnt my strongest subject :p

heres the link to the website of the heli
http://www.symahelicopters.com/Syma-S109G-Gyro-3-Ch-Mini-Apache-AH-64-Helicopter-p/eh-symas109g.htm



Answer
I suggest not messing with the hot glue gun and leaving the LEDs as-is. They don't consume much battery power at all. They do let you know when the helicopter is powered, even if the throttle is not activated. This is important to know when charging the helicopter because the heli itself is supposed to be turned off when charging.

Easiest way to increase flight time for something as inexpensive as this model is probably to just get a second one. Fly one and done, then fly second one.

how can you build a RC helicopter ?

Q. My friend an i want to build a powerful rc helicopter with a wireless cam that has a good range but we have no plan on how to build it and where to buy the stuff for it


Answer
RC Crafting was once a exciting hobby enjoyed by all ages, but nowadays with smaller and cheaper electronics, it has long died as an art form. The sheer joy of detailing a minature craft and watching it take off was the Nintendo of yester-years.

The fact that you specified a wireless cam as an attachment leads me to think its not RC'ing you two are interested in, but rather sight-seeing or dare I say, spying, is what you are exactly looking for. In that case they already make something like that as a toy. It has limited range and either a b/w camera or a colour one. Some have mini monitors built into the controller, and others require pc or TV hookup for the receiver.

I'm looking for a good RTF rc helicopter for intermediate flyer?




Matt


I have a Syma mini that I can control really well and I'd like to get a helicopter that has a little more control and that I can fly outside. I looked at the Revell Proto CX but it seems alot like what I already have. I also like the ready to fly option too. Thanks


Answer
I have a Syma mini as well (I just found out what it's called thanks to this question!) and if I were you I would move on to a model that has a swash plate. That way you get a helicopter that functions exactly like a real one, none of these toys. :P Beware though, they are MUCH harder to fly so expect a bunch of crashes. They are also far more powerful and can be flown in a light breeze outside. However, there aren't many RTF kits. I personally love building them but each to their own. If you are willing to build them (if you get a kit that has everything that you need) I recommend a T-Rex 250, they are awesome. I'll be honest; being able to fly one of these counter-rotating helicopters probably doesn't bring you to an intermediate level. If you don't want to build one at all, get the SKYARTEC Wasp Belt 250, it looks like a nice piece of kit.

You can NOT do stunts with both helicopters because they are 2 channel helicopters. The only stunt you could do is probably spin in mid air. Both could be flown around the inside of your house but NEVER outside. They both fly about the same and have the same battery time. They vary helicopter to helicopter just by a few seconds. So it is all up to you. I personally suggest the Havoc because it looks more of a helicopter.

Have a happy flying with your future purchase!

Q. i want to buy it from stores not from online


Answer
Hi Majd K,
Before you buy, do some research. The Walkera line is pretty much the bottom end when it comes to quality.
Cheap, yes. But bottom end quality.

I have a remote control Helicopter and one of its wings is half broken off. How do i fix it without tape?

Answer
You do not fix blades of a helicopter with tape, or any other way. You need to replace them.

Any repair would cause a serious balance problem, and create a hazard. Those blades are spinning very quickly, and if the repair failed in flight, the broken blade would be a projectile that could put out an eye.

To get better information on how to replace the blades, go ask on the dedicated RC heli forums.

When you post again, give more information about which heli you have.
Good luck!

What is a good kind of toy helicopter?

mini rc helicopter toy
 on RC HELICOPTERS REVIEW: Mini RC Helicopters

Me, again


I want to get a toy helicopter for my husband and want to know if anyone has any experience with some that aren't those cheapy mini ones or ones that fall apart. I am willing to invest a little bit of money for quality... any advice?


Answer
Hi meagan,
Good for you for wanting to get something that cool for your hubby. :)
I have several RC helis, and the first question that gets sent back to new people asking questions is what is your budget.
Next would be where are you going to fly it?
There is such a huge range, from $100-almost flyable models to $3000 killer stunt monsters.
Small electrics you can fly in your living room to nitro powered smoke spewing helis that are only usable at a dedicated flying field.
There are co-axial models (two rotors) that look a bit less like a typical helicopter, but are amazingly steady and easy to fly.
There are single rotor helis that are much more capable, but much harder to fly.
I have linked some good forums where you can read a lot more about which models work well for people. Read a lot. Ask a lot of questions. Feel free to email me if you have more questions.
Good luck!

Which RC toy should I buy for my little cousin on his birthday?




Shingo


It is almost my little cousins' birthday and I want to buy him a RC toy. He is turning 8 years old.

Since he lives in Oregon in a small town, there are plenty of open land to play with this type of toys.

Here are two of the many stores that I've looked at.

I like this store because it has many choices.
http://www.rctoys.com/

I like this store because the prices are more reasonable.
http://www.squarehard.com/Store/home.asp?home_id=39&b=1


What do you think?



Answer
I wouldn't recommend going to www.rctoys, their prices are a bit too high. You can find better prices else where. The most popular rc toys are those helicopters, especially those mini ones because those are almost unbreakable (I have one myself, and they are a lot of fun to play with and learn), they're pretty much perfect for little kids (8 and up) or beginnings. They recently just came out last year. You should look into the 2-channel ones, those are for beginners, and much more fun than those rc cars, if there is a lake, rc boats would be fun too. Try going to www.togostuff.com/2chhe.html, I got mine there, not wide selection but they got the most popular ones and shippment was fast.

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

mini rc helicopter broke
 on Water Shooting R/C Helicopter

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.

What is a good beginner mini RC helicopter?




NOLAsoccer


Syma Mini chinook? Propel Gyrotper? Are these good? and any other suggestions will help.


Answer
The picoo-z Heli's are pretty decent for starters, but the tail rotor tends to break rather quickly. This applies to most helicopters that have seperate motors to power the main and tail rotor.

mini rc helicopter metal series image



shor_d_ing


i used to have a cheap mini rc helicopter and it was not very stable. it quickly was misplaced.
the other day a friend was playing with his new mini heli and it was extremely stable and easy to fly. he said it was a syma. i don't know what model but it was the metal frame.

im wondering if there is any other helis like this out there that are better, his budget was 50 bucks where im willing to spend more. any suggestions?



Answer
DUDE you have to check out the Z-Series Z008 Micro Helicopter w/Gyr !! this is a bad a$$ mini helicopter!! with LED lights

http://www.jatoytown.com/Z-Series-Z008-Micro-Helicopter-wGyro--As-low-as-3382_p_108.html

Its 4ch and VERY VERY VERY stable in the air with an all alloy body! Those cheap plastic 2ch and 3 ch helicopters are very unstable in the air.

This one on the other hand is one of the most stable I have seen for its size. With the hover blades you can even move it side to side which is awesome for a rc helicopter.

the retail on these are 89.99 but tell you what. use coupon code clist30 and that will give you 30% off the entire order which will make that helicopter around 60.00 which is a killer deal for that brand.

There is even a youtube video there on how that little guy flies. Check it out and let me know what you think..

There are other helicopters there too but as far as best mini one, this one takes the cake.

Hope this helps
