mini helicopter rc see the description?

adar

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:

IF you need to replace them, this is what they will look like:

i need to stop my heli mini from spinnning out of controll and falling?

resean25

my helicopter every time i fly it will fly up in the air and stay their for a second and then willl just spin out of controll and fall and i wanted to know is there anything i can try?
Ps> I got the hair out of the taill rudder and it still does the same thing and i dont want to spend more money on another if i dont have to so can anyone plez help me. Thanx

Answer
Which heli is it? That will help us help you.

If it is one of the bottom end 2 channel helis like the Picco Z or the Havoc, then besides hair, there are 2 more things that will cause this.
1. The tail blade has a crack in it. It inly takes a very small crack to make the tail less effective and it spins. Most models come with a replacement tail blade in the package.
2. You have a defective heli. Of the 30 or so models that I and my fellow RC club member purchased, fully 50% failed in the way you describe, out of the box.

You can also ask on the dedicated RC heli forums:

Where buy low cost rc helicopter?

Mike Tyler

I want to buy rc helicopter. Where good place buy low cost rc helicopter?

I usually buy rc helicopter from http://www.xhobbystore.com/. Is there anywhere else cheaper?

Answer
This is actually an infinity question.
You probably should ask what kind of RC Helicopter do you want first. Big, Small, Indoor or outdoors?
If you are a beginner you probably looking something that's hard to break.
The good news is that Radio Control Helicopters are available everywhere from Amazon to eBay and cost goes to every budget, from $12 to $100s.
That just makes a question of what do you want to buy.?

help i'm still looking for a medium size electric rc huey helicopter?

hphamvo

i'm trying to full fill a wish for a friend that since past away please help thanks

Answer
First off, sorry for your loss. Last time I read, he was still around. If you never flew an RC helicopter before, it will be difficult to find a medium sized helicopter. It is better to start with the small sized ones first. Usually the Huey helicopters that are medium sized are "Do it Yourself" meaning you have to build it yourself.

Let me give you that ebay link I found last time:

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Mini-Super-Huey-Helicopter-Radio-Remote-Control-RC_W0QQitemZ120357615567QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio_Control_Vehicles?hash=item120357615567&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Hope that helps. If not, message me. I'll help you out as much as I can. However, please enable the "Allow people to message me" button so I could message you back if you havent done so already.

mini rc helicopter fastest?

flu

whats the fastest cheapest mini rc helicopter. With good front and sideways controlls

Answer
What is your definition of "fastest"? Also, front and sideways as in use of ailerons and elevator?
What do you mean by cheapest? Like $40 cheapest? $200?

Usually the fastest helicopter that is modded for a low price costs about $189.99 without the mods. You could make it go about 20 MPH. This is the Co-Axial helicopter.

The helicopter is the E-Flite Blade CX2.

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.

Can a 2-Channel rc helicopter do 3-D flying ?

T C

Can a 2-Channel rc helicopter do 3-D flying ?

Answer
No, the 2Ch rc helicopter is a toy helicopter, which can go up and down, and use the tail to control the direction.

For the 4CH helicopters, it can go up, down, turn left and right, go forward and backward, example flying video: http://www.linknety.com/modevideos/demo/zoom.php?id=15

For 3D Flying, this mean the helicopter need to fly upside down, the 2CH and 4CH helicopters can not do this. 3D flying require at least 6Ch, example heliocpters: Blade CP, Esky CP2, Trex, check this videos here: http://www.linknety.com/modevideos/demo/zoom.php?id=10 (as you can see, the esky cp2 is flyig upside down 3D flying in the movie)

MIni rc helicopter Question Please help?

Matt S

for christmas i got a 330 3 channel mini helicopter and it worked perfect for the first month but after that when i tried to tune it with the button on the controler it would always be spinning counter clockwise no matter what i did on the controler... anyway to fix that
its a venus 330 mini helicopter

Answer
Sure. Could you please state the brand and model of the helicopter?

Beginers RC Helicopter?

I'm looking into buying my first Heli, I have been advised to start with atleast 4 channels.

I was looking at the Esky Honey Bee CP3

What do you guys reccomend I start out with, Nitro or Electric.

I have a budget of around Â£100

Answer
I would definitely stay away from Nitro as a beginner. It adds a whole level of complexity to the hobby. There are so many great starter Mini Heli kits out there to get your feet wet. Get a small one so when you crash it (and you will), it will be cheap to fix and not a huge financial loss. Check out these kits:

i want to put a mini camera into an rc plane?

Guitarzan

I want to put as small of a camera available into an rc plane and see a live feed to see as if i was in the plane. Can anyone help?

Answer
I can Recommend a 2.4ï»¿ G spectrum - onboard DV520T by Mustek which can be used on RC cars, RC planes, RC helicopters, and RC boats if you keep it dry. It has crystal clear quality and you can see a video which persuaded me to buying one myself. It also gives live streaming to your computer.

will a 2.4 ghz rc control work with any helicopter?

THISNAMEDO

I am going to by a large rc helicopter for the outdoors, but i already have a 2.4 ghz controller for a mini helicopter, and i was wondering if i buy a larger, non 2.4 helicopter if my old 2.4ghz controller would work with it. thanks

Answer
You pretty much answered your own question there. You stated you will buy a "non 2.4 helicopter" and if it will work with your old "2.4ghz controller". So the answer is no.
If you do purchase another receiver that you could bind your controller with and it is capable of handling all the controls that the helicopter needs, then it will work.

why does my RC Mini helicopter 9098A not work?

Toast It

I bought my nephew an RC mini helicopter the, 9098A with Gyroscope.

The leds on the heli work, bought new batteries for the Remote, and yet I cant get it to fly.
We try ed for multiple times. The manual says I need to get it gyro scoped with the ground. I try ed this and yet it does not work!
Can anybody please tell me how I can get it done so It flys?

Answer
if you haven't flown it in a while or charged it in a while, it could be junk because not charging it in a while could destroy the battery or motor. try taking it back to where you got it from, and get a new one with your receipt. hope i helped!! =}

How do i fix a spinning rc helicopter?

Q. The model is ... Cobra 3 channel mini helicopter X107 with gyro. I know that the top blades are spinning faster causeing the issue. But how do i fix it?

Answer
the top blade always spins faster than the bottom one (same with big lama 4ch co-axial helicopter, had one... and always broke the upper blade) so here's what you'll do:

if the helicopter spins in a crazy way to watever side, then:

go to the receiver, next to it there is a mixer, like 2 knobs that you can put a screw on it and move it, look carefully and move the "Proportion" knob left or right until the helicopter stops spinning.

if it spins slowly then:

look your transmitter, it has like little knobs that you can adjust left or right, they're called "Trim tabs" move the trim tab from your rudder left or right until the helicopter is steady.

if that's not the problem then it might be time to replace the motor of the upper blade.

if that's not the problem, go to www.rcgroups.com create an accout, post this question there and folks with waaay more experience than me will help you out.

Happy New Year!

What RC helicopter should I get?

Tactical

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.

I want an rc helicopter and i want a good one for under $200?

ndadvc

i have flown before but i want everyones opinion on what i should get....preferably a 6 channel

Answer
Try kyosho.They make helicopters,cars,boats,mini monster trucks,planes.Only thing to remember is to start out slow.get a basic copter first and when ur used to it,u can start modifying it.there are so many things you can do with a copter and some of them are expensive.
also,keep in mind the price.even though the price might be cheap,the mantainence costs could be very high

Good luck.

My new Syma S.026 mini Chinook RC helicopter spins out of control on takeoff. please help?

CGI03

They won't take it back they claim that i broke it. I did crash a few times but not from height or to fast because i cant fly it so i cant really crash it

Answer
Where did you buy it? If you bought it online, then you can't really do much but have it as a paper weight. If you bought it at a store, then you could pull what they pulled on you and purchase another helicopter and put the broken one back in the new box and say your child doesn't want it.

As for chinooks, the mechanism used for it to fly is very advanced. There is no guarantee these are going to be 100% perfect for every helicopter especially if it isn't an expensive hobby helicopter. The company "Syma" is not a company that you would want to depend on. Read the manual and follow the directions. That is all I could say.

how can i stabilize my mini rc helicopter?

Q. i just got a new mini rc helicopter, and it keeps spinning when i get it into the air

Answer
It is very difficult to stabilise a mini rc helicopter. You can try adjusting by giving more power to the tail rotor in the opposite direction of the spin.

i have a 735 set 3h mini Rc helicopter i adjust the trimmer it stops spinnin but then spins the other way Help?

Answer
before you take off from the ground, try hand launching it at head level. Once it is leveled in mid air, then trim it. If nothing, you bought a cheap poorly engineered helicopter. Sorry, but people made cheap helicopters and have been scamming people since the first micro helicopter was made.

Ok, so I have a problem with my Swift X-Power mini micro Helicopter!?

My helicopter: Swift X-Power mini mic

A picture of my helicopter: http://cy-model.com/osc/images/6020Y.jpg

The issue: When I fly my Rc Helicopter it just keeps spinning in circles. NOT LIKE THIS ONE!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijErOpjx_Ws

But My helicopter like spins in: http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/Polar/images/circle.jpg

How can I fix this?

The issue:

Answer
you bought a poorly engineered RC helicopter.What do you expect?

Any RC helicopter that uses a horizontal propeller in the back to move the helicopter back and forth is clearly cheap.

Return it and buy a better RC helicopter or just display it and buy a hobby shop RC helicopter.

how to repair mini rc helicopter tail rotor?

silverback

it keeps spinning counterclockwise

Answer
If the tail is moving in the same direction that the tail rotor is blowing, then increase the pitch of the tail rotor blades. If the tail is moving in the opposite direction that the rotor is blowing, then decrease the pitch of the blades.

RC Helicopters... Anyone have this one?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0069G3L5U/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=AF3OSWQ0BTWJQ

Is this a very durable model? Does anyone know if its the same as this one? Thinking about getting one for my brother for christmas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flx3w2daooU

Answer
If you really want a durable model i suggest you go for the Syma S107, practically indestructible and one of the best micro heli's out there for that kind of money.

Check:

What rc helicopter is good but not too expensive?

lotrGurl23

I am a beginner and want to find a good remote control helicopter.

1. I want it to be able to get of the ground,
2. have a reasonable flight time in between charges
3. be reasonably easy to learn how to fly it doesn't have to be too simple I have a brain :)
4. flies straight when you want it too and not just in circles
5. This is not as important but it would be really nice if it had full range of motion (forward, back, right, left, up, down and possibly hover)
6. If it does crash preferably it won't shatter into a jazillion pieces maybe a gyro would keep it from crashing I don't know enough about them to know

I don't want one too big. Indoor is preferred to outdoor, but if it does both that's obviously fine too :). I've read that a "hobby" standard coaxial mini helicopters are better than "toy" helicopters because if something does break you can replace parts. On the other hand I'm NOT made of money so a $80 helicopter for fun is far out of my budget.

If nothing like this exists sorry to waste your time, but I'm hoping some rc helicopter junkie can read this and have a solution. I tried googling it, but I don't know enough of the terminology to find what I want. I found something called a "E-flite Blade mCX" off of a blog and it sounds awesome but the cheapest I can find it is $60 which is still far out of my budget :\. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Your in luck, there is a mini RC helicopter does fit your criteria pretty well.

Its the Syma S107 mini electric RC helicopter.

I've had mine for some time and I love it, its great fun and easy to fly. Its a good beginners helicopter.
If it does crash its got a metal frame and is pretty durable. Mine hit the ceiling, the desk, and the dog, and it just keeps right on going.

If you get it online you should be able to grab one for around $30 bucks. Thats it.

You can read a full review and see a video of it flying right here:

I hope you try the s107 you wont regret it!

Happy Holidays--

i need a good rc helicopter?

Tyler C

please someone tell me a good battery powered rc helicopter ( preferably a 3d helicopter )

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!

http://site.xheli.com/rc-helicopter1/rc-helicopter7.jpg
plz help me

Answer
I have had alot of experience with mini copters. I can say that 99% of the time the spinning issue is caused by several factors.

1. hair(s) just one hair wrapped around the tail rotor can cause it not to fly correctly. Check for hairs and strings , threads , etc.

2. the trim issue takes ALOT of time. It is digital so it needs several seconds to actually register into the processor bs so it can fine tune itself and set itself. Do this very , very slowly. It will take at least 5-10 minutes.

3. The battery connector harness is so tiny that if it is not plugged in snuggly and all the way in, it will cause it not to charge correctly. Try to verify it is snug by wiggling the harness a little. If it is too tight then it is not set correctly. If it is too loose then it needs to be pushed in harder.

While these are some common remedies there are others too.

Feel free too review my other questions I answered for some more info on micro R/C copters.

Feel free to email me for more specifics too.

Help choosing RC helicopter?

Girey

I'm looking for a helo that mimicks real helicopter controls. (Pitch, Thrust, Roll, Yaw)
I'd preffer something below 200 bucks and that I can add a mini cam to it.

Answer
If you want something than mimics are real helicopter you need something like an Align Trex 450 - a 6ch RC helicopter. The original trex is pretty expensive, but you could get a clone for around $200 (Titan. HK450, Copter X). They are usually sold as a kit and you have to assemble it yourself, but you can also get a ready to fly model. I must warn you thou this hobby is a money pit, they are very hard to fly for a beginner. It takes years to master. You WILL crash and you WILL be spending a lot of money fixing it. So maybe get an RC simulator first and practice for 100 hours or so before even attempting to fly. Its a serious hobby and requires lots of dedication, reading and research. Another option is you could simply get something like a fixed pitched helicopter or a coaxial helicopter or even a quad copter, they are much easier to fly. Quad copters are especially popular for Arial Photography. Good Site: http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/best-rc-helicopter.html

broke my rc helicopter please help?

cornflake

hi every one i have a mini Dynamic Falcon Mini RC Infrared Helicopter and the stabilizer on top of the proppelers broke. type "Dynamic Falcon Mini RC Infrared Helicopter" in google images to see what i'm talking about. pleas help me by telling me how to fix it or where i can find spare parts for it. the thing connecting the stablizer to the rotor shaft broke. will crazy glue work. thanks

Answer
definetly use crazy glue, hot glue wont work as crazy glue, why? for hot glue you need a large amont and it wont be glue like crazy glue does, that will cause the helicopter vibrate a lot, use crazy glue, you use less glue and get a powerful union.

well in order to get the helicopter in the one mission where you have to kill all those celebrities before they get to the radio station you have to perch yourself right on a building next to the portland bridge on stanton island and the helicopter will fly through there and you'll be able to jack it like a car. but i've never heard anything about an r/c car.

Choosing my next RC helicopter?

annielou

I recently got a $50 RC helicopter from Walmart. it's pretty sturdy and works really well, but I'm starting to get bored with it. It seems to only have the most basic functions and minimal speeds that any RC helicopter has.
I don't want anything TOO too fancy, just a really reliable precision RC helicopter no longer than 20". The most I'm willing to spend is $250.

Answer
I don't like the air hogs very much like the other answer suggests. Here are a couple that I have and like:

This is a mini. It's awesome especially for the price:

Best beginner outdoor rc helicopter?

BcRich145

I purchased a syma s107 last month, and im having tons of fun with the little thing indoors. Now i feel i'm ready to move onto a larger, outdoor rc helicopter( to be flown in slight wind ). For the money, what helicopter is best for a beginner? I've been looking on my own and theres just too many for me to make a decision.. I want to try and get the best heli i can for the money (<$150).

Answer
I have heaps of mini helicopters especially the Syma S107- I also have the Syma S032 which is the bigger brother and is not infra red remote so flies out side on a calm day.

It really gets down to how much you might want to spend- If you start going into the hundred dollar mark plus you can not beat Nine eagles helis and of course models from Walkera. First consider cost if you are going to single coaxial blade helicopters they are considerable harder to fly and getting a simulator from Say Ebay for $20 is well worth it as you can practice on your computer. You see one is going from a 3 channel helicopter (syma107) to 4 and 6-7 channel helicopters which have lot more movement hence control gets harder.

I got a Walkera Dragonfly 4G6S 6CH Metal RC Helicopter with a brushless motor for $300 now I know that is more than you want to spend,however my advice is I know once you fly a 4 channel helicopter you will wish you had spent a bit more money to go the full hog as you will be totally hooked, The difference of spending $300 to $150 for a rc helicopter is enormous-built really well many spares available and easy to repair and made of high quality materials,also the remotes can be $200 on their own which are supplied with say the Dragon fly and can be binded with other helicopters.

In your price you can not beat the Skyartec NINJA 400 CCPM 6CH RC Helicopter for around $170- I have put some links to where I buy my helis below-hope that helps.

i just bought an airhogs havoc heli and it has almost no real control. I'm looking for a good mini rc heli for around or under $50. I'm not looking for the best mini heli just one that i can actually control and have fun with because with the havoc it is just annoying. thanks for the help

Answer
the s107, it's a really good mini helicopter, it's on amazon.com, just type s107 in search and you'll see more info there, it comes in yellow, red, and blue, you can control the direction, forward, backward, and the height, the thing that controls the direction is circular, so u can go in every possible direction, you can turn while going forward or backward, or just turn, you know what i mean, its a really good quality rc, check it out.....syma s107
its like 40 bucks with shipping and handling

hope i helped
also i think i should mention that those widly mass produced helicoptors are just plain bad

why does my SYMA S018 3Ch RC Airwolf Mini Helicopter keep spinning out of control?

Jullius

IT KEEPS SPINNING OUT I TRY TO TURN IT BUT IT SPINS LEFT!!!!!!! ALL OF THE THINGS WORK THE TAIL ROTOR WORKS AND THE MAIN TWO ROTORS WORK FINE AND THE BALANCER IS STRAIGHT. PLEASE HELP

Answer
copters fly because the top rotor spins ( a big spinning wing)

the drag on that reacts back through the power system and tries to turn the whole ship in the opposite direction

the tail rotor provides a smaller force at a longer distance to provide the counter torque

something is wrong in the tail rotor power or thrust

Can you put a camera on a rc helicopter?

Julien

i want to put a camera on a remote controlled helicopter and see where its going. how can i do this? smart tech people help me out please, thanx.

Answer
Yes you can easily but buying the mini camera is quite expensive and if your rc helicopter crashes you wouldn't be so fortunate. You can by cheap cameras but they lack in quality.

About RC Helicopter.?

Alexiolim

Some of my questions are...

1. What are some of the RC helicopters that can last long before need to recharge again. (Please include approx how long it'll last).

2. What are some of the RC helicopters that fly quietly.

3. What is your favorite RC helicopter? (If can, please give reason).

Thanks!

Answer
To answer your questions

1. RC helicopters can be flown for the duration of the battery pack. Knowing this, most all RC helicopters can accomidate different sizes of batteries. For instance with my T-REX I can fly approximately 6-8 minutes of sport flying with a 11.1v 1700mah lipo battery and 10-15 minutes with a 11.1v 2200mah lipo battery. Knowing your setup is a very important role in how long it will fly. The weight, pitch, electronics, and style of flying all play a factor in how long it will fly. Nitro helicopters are considered infinate in flight time because you can simply fill the nitro bottle up again and again until the engine overheats.

2. This is a hard question to answer and no one helicopter is considered relativly quiet. 4 channel helisopter that have a fixed pitch are more commonly found to produce less noise such as the E-Sky lama v4. Whereas with helicopters such as the T-REX or Belt cp can be exsessively loud because of they're high headspeeds and intense thrust. Again this answer can be different based on your heli setup, how you fly, and what electronics you have chosen. The most obvious of noise makers is Gas helicopters and 500 sized electrics, anything smaller is reletively quiet.

3. My favorite RC helicopter is..... well gosh it's hard to come up with a favorite. T-REX, Pixy Zap, HDX 500, Raptor 30... the list goes on. My newest favorite now is the CopterX simply because of it's price tag. You get all aluminum helicopter completely tricked out and flies as well as T-REX...or better, and has insane flight characteristics for it's size for only 169.99!! In the end there's so many favorites because there's one for every size and class of heli.

cheers

Hollo surfers,I want to buy a remote control helicopter and
was wondering what are the best ones on the market.
I need to buy something that will be reliable and give months
and years of fun!

Answer
RC helicopters take a lot of practice and skill to fly. Start with a cheap one with counter-rotational main rotor. After you learn to fly you can upgrade to a better one.

help choosing a RC helicopter?

Shellie

I want to get my brother a remote control helicopter, but I have no idea which is good and which is crap. He flies (real) airplanes, and paraglides, so I think he would master a beginner heli to quickly. He has plenty of space to fly it in, I doubt if he would want to fly it in doors. I know they can be expensive, but I would like to spend under $100. I've looked at many websites, but I have no idea how to choose one, so just leaving a RC heli website does me no good. If someone could please give me model names and where I might find it, it would be VERY helpful. Even if you don't know a good one to buy, if you know what NOT to buy, please let me know! Thanks in advance! I appreciate your responses, and will pick a best answer!
DJSmesser, thanks so much, your answer is exactly what I was looking for!

What is the difference between the electric and the gas powered? Why would one be better than the other? Pros/Cons?

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. 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!

ADDITIONAL - Aside from the obvious differences between gas powered and electric powered, gas helis are a lot more expensive starting in the mid $200.00 range with some pricing in the thousands!......... not to mention the additional cost for the fuel. Gas helis are meant for outdoors especially when you consider the fumes that are produced plus they're kind've noisy. In my opinion, gas helis would be something to graduate up to after years of flying. Definitely professional status. Good luck!

Are there any rc 6 channel co-axial helicopters or 1 ch rc helicopter.?

NISSAN

Answer
no no no. 6ch helis are usually for Flybarless helis. Never get a flybarless heli unless you know how to fly a co-axial.

what do you mean by a 1ch helicopter. if it were 1ch you would have throttle and nothing else. the very minimum helicopter is 2ch and trust me, there shit. if you are a beginner get a mini indoor 3ch heli, but if you are getting to the stage of bigger co-axial indoor/ outdoor helis, you can only go up to 4ch. that is up/ down, rudder left/ rudder right, back/ forward, and the 4th ch is banking left to right. if you are getting a bigger helicopter (any bigger than 35cm get a 4 ch to avoid blade striking) get one that is about 40cm, and get bigger (like 55cm) and so on.

I have made many mistakes in the past on buying rc helis and i dont want people to do the same things. One of these mistakes was buying a 1.05m 3.5ch heli. whenever it is windy, i can easily have a blade strike.

Hope this helps

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

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.

Could somebody fly a small RC helicopter ,that has a camera, over Area 51 and take footage of it?

Michalis

If someone wanted footage of Area 51, couldn't they just take a small RC helicopter and attach a video camera to it, then fly it over Area 51 and record footage of it? If so, how come somebody hasn't done so then put it on Youtube or something?

Answer
More than likely, it would get shot down. The guards can shoot anyone who goes near there, as well.

For RC Helicopters, Is there any landing gear for landing on water?

paympinyoo

Answer
Yes, there is.
For the bigger nitro powered helis, swimming pool noodles work well. Cut a section, slit it to fit over the existing gear, and zip tie it on.
Also, 2 liter pop bottles have been used.

Smaller electric helis do not need as much flotation.

Here is a video:

hi,i am looking for a RC Helicopter which carry wireless video camera.anybody can help?

mahmoud_s

Answer
Lots of possible solutions for you.
There are dedicated RC heli forums where you will find many answers on getting started.
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Helicopter_Beginners_Forum/forumid_165/tt.htm
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Electric_RC_Helis/forumid_167/tt.htm
http://www.rcgroups.com/mini-helis-374/
http://www.rcgroups.com/micro-helis-42/

One of the early questions you will need to ask yourself is what is your budget?
For $200US you can get a marginally flyable electric heli with not much room for growth.
In the $1000 range are much better electric helis and the entry level nitro powered helis.
And you can easily spend $10,000 on a high end aerial photography setup.

Where can you buy or make a computer controlled RC helicopter with realtime video?

Where can you buy or make a computer controlled RC helicopter with realtime video? I can make it or buy but I don't know where to find it.

Answer
Computer controlled is really hard to make and you will have to know a lot about or just know a person who does electrical engineering to build your own system.

What I would suggest you do is to get a RC helicopter that is very stable to fly like this http://www.xheli.com/50h33-warhawk300-q4-comancheblue.html. This is a coaxial helicopter, it's hover by itself and you wouldn't need to worry much about it. The reason I would use a big one is because there would be more space to store a camera. Most of the cheap coaxial helicopter are only made from plastic with no metal bearings and can only fly up and down anyway.

After you have your copter set up, something like this will help you:
http://hackedgadgets.com/2005/08/10/computer-controlled-rc-helicopter/
http://www.endurance-rc.com/pctx.html <buy an adapter to connect to your transmitter, it should come with software
Note: You may have to re-program the controls in order to control your helicopter from computer.

For the camera, get something like a mini helicopter cam like http://www.xheli.com/72p-90-carcam.html or http://www.xheli.com/72p-52-voicecam.html. Get a electrician to help you design a wireless connection system between your computer and the camera. OR buy a wireless camera out of a shop that can fit into your heli. This website has the technology you talk about: http://www.geekalerts.com/real-time-video-rc-helicopter/

What you may want to search up is UAV helicopter designs. Many people use bluetooth to control their helicopter but I would stick to radio transmitter.
