RC HELICOPTER EXPERTS!! THIS QUESTION IS FOR YOU!?

Bob

I just ordered a Syma S108. They look very fun and cooler than the S107. What your opinion? Should I have bought the S107 for $22 or the S108 for $30?
Thanks God Bless.

Answer
i have never heard of this model however after looking up the model i can tell you this they are both mini / micro helicopters.
these micro helicopters are ones that are marketed towards people who are new and or just want a cheap helicopter to try out the hobby without sinking much cash on a helicopter. its also smaller and can be used in small spaces compared to full size helicopters. this model should be easy to fly due to its design.

in terms of s 107 vs s 108 they are pretty much the same and you would not see much difference.

the 107 has a larger battery though and could fly for a few minutes longer.

i would say the s108 is a good choice if your only spending like $30

is this your first helicopter?

if its your first helicopter and later your interested in something more challenging or larger you could go with something like what i did for my first RC helicopter that was above the lower entry level. if your interested in something priced a little higher but could perform better.

this is what i did with my first helicopter.

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

i liked it and with help learned to fly using it.

you can find this helicopter at many sites

tower hobbies is a good place to buy from
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 don't 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 don't crash.

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

so the 107 and 108 are not to different. i wo

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!

Which Micro Collective Pitch RC Helicopter is better?

Jon

Looking mainly at 2 nano CP Helicopters, the Blade Nano CPX and the Walkera Mini CP 6. I've heard good and bad about both, if anyone personally owns either of these Heli's can you give me some of your own list of Pros and Cons? Also I have only flown FP Heli's and heard the Micro class is best to learn 3D flying. Thanks!

Answer
actually I own both Walkera Mini CP 6 is better in my opnion Walkera is beter

Things I like with the Mini CP.
1. The landing gear is separate from the frame.
2. Servos are mounted very secure and are very close to the main shaft
3. RX mounted vertically. No foam between the RX and frame mount.
4. Canopy mounts with two separate CF rods.

About the Blade Nano CPX
The Cool
Price is great
Cheap and easy repairs
Incredibly durable, lasting and fun to play

Not cool
Charger does not come with power supply (typical)
No brushless motors stock

What is the best beginner RC helicopter? ?

mini rc helicopter 3d image

I bought a double horse 9100 and I think it is way to advanced to for me. What do you guys think? I already cracked the head cover and a decorative bar is gone (does that matter?) I have flow a mini in door helicopter and that is too easy and I need something to start with that is under $100. Please help I really want to get into this hobby but I've gotten way over my head.

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-reviews/walkera-hm-v200d02

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's a little more expensive (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.

Good Luck

Beginner RC Helicopter?

Maria

I am looking for an electronic RC helicopter... I am a beginner, and want to start a new hobby. I have looked at the GYRO mini helicopters, and I have found that they are VERY stable. I have actually tried one out and liked it very much, but the problem is, I live in a small apartment. I don't ave muck space to fly this thing and my ceilings are not high. The good thing is, I live very close to a park with a big open space with no trees. My problem is, I want a helicopter that is very stable and I can learn on, but I can't do that at my apartment with a small one. I can get a bigger outdoor one, which I have seen are very stable, but then again, if I lose control of it, the heli could easily break. Anybody have this problem or any solutions?
Thanks!

Answer
well big helicopters are usually more expensive and they are not as easy to stabilize unless they are coaxial because coaxials have 2 sets of rotor blades and they are amazing helis to start with, but they are not good with outdoors and winds. if you wanna fly outside the bigger is better because the wind cant throw it around. coaxials dont get really big but you can get "big lama" that is a beginner heli and it can stay up in some wind but not a lot. i dont recommend you starting with a 3d heli because they are hard to stabilize and if then one that you saw was stable then the pilot was pretty good! there is also fixed pitch but those are a bit harder to fly than coaxials but they are easier than 3ds. you can also get micro coaxials that are REALLY small but stable!
