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.

Where to get a live streaming camera for RC helicopter?

Amy

Where can I get a camera that can live stream to an android phone for an RC helicopter or quadcopter? I'm not even sure what to search on google. I have tried a few things but really no results.
I haven't bought the helicopter or quadcopter yet. I am looking for the camera first, then get something that can support it. GoPro are out of my price range.

Answer
Go to a computer store or the place you got the RC helicopter and ask for help there

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

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 :)
