Answer
The chopper is the world's smallest or the biggest or the first something helicopter,I just know that this helicopter is said to be the first outdoor mini RC helicopter.It looks like a replica of a big RC brand.Some ads read that"the shape, material, weight, as well as the flight performance, with quality exceeds 90% as that "big" brand but roughly 1/3 in price!"I think that is reasonable.
Regarding its flight,It is durable and light weight, as it is made of very durable and elastic materials. Aims for beginners, it is crash proof. Flies perfectly stable and easy to control, it can stand up and take off even crashed up-side down on the ground! This is a great model with more reasonable price for everyone, especially for those who are new to the RC circle.

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!

can Remote Radio Control RC MINI Helicopter fly outside in the sun?

mini rc helicopter outdoor image

MR.S

I wanted to buy a "3 Channel Remote Radio Control RC MINI Helicopter HR" but I am not sure if it can fly outside in the sun, it also says: Controlled by digital technology. Infra red control system .
Does anyone know whats the infra red control system?

Answer
No, the 3 Channel Helicopter you are deciding to purchase can NOT be flown outside if there is sun. The sun disrupts the Infrared beam that is sent to your helicopter.

The range of an IR signal is usually limited to around 30 feet or less. Infrared, also called optical control or opti-control, requires line-of-sight, that is, the LED on the IR transmitter must be pointing at the IR receiver in order to work. It doesn't see through walls. Depending on the strength of the IR signal and interference from sunlight or other infrared-transmitting devices, the range may be shortened. These limitations make IR unsuitable for RC vehicles intended for long-range flight, outdoor racing, and other activities where it may be difficult to stay in range and within line-of-sight.
So... now you know... Let me explain what you might see when you go outside and try. When you go out, you will try to fly your helicopter. It will work, but after a while, itll start flying by itself, and youll lose contorl. It will work, its just that your range is incredibly shortened. It is no rumor, it is true science.

What rc helicopter is good but not too expensive?

mini rc helicopter outdoor image

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!

Best beginner outdoor rc helicopter?

mini rc helicopter outdoor image

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.

What are some of the better small Indoor/Outdoor RC Helicopters like the "air hog"?

Brad

Moneys not really an issue, but I don't want to spend like $250 for some RC helicopter I just want to have a little fun with- so $15-40 is my preferred spending area, but I could go higher. Probably not more than $120 or so though.

I did a little search and people are asking really complex questions- like comparing features that don't make any sense to me. I don't know anything about RC helicopters, although I do fly RC gas powered hobby airplanes.

A friend of mine had an air hog that worked great, but then his younger brother got a new air hog for christmas that is different, and doesn't work too well. I've seen other brands that don't work so great either. Does anyone have any recommendations for some of the better "cheap" (as opposed to those several hundred dollar gas RC helicopters my father used to fly) electric mini RC helicopters that can be used indoors and out? Thanks

Answer
For your price range, don't expect a helicopter that can fly outdoors, but you can have a lot of fun with the little indoor electric helicopters with twin main rotors. I can commend the E-Flite brand. They do a little one called the Blade mCX. I fly a slightly bigger one, the Blade CX2, which has had excellent reviews, and which can be taken out on a very calm day. If you don't want to spend as much as that I have also had good fun with the tiny Silverlit helicopters, including the PicooZ TandemZ, which is like a baby Chinook.

BUYING A NEW RC HELICOPTER. PLS HELP?

mini rc helicopter outdoor image

knight

I want to buy an RC helicopter. But i have a few problems.

1.What should i consider when choosing a helicopter.

2.What are these channels in helicopters. i have seen 4ch, 6ch, 8ch. What do they mean.

3. What is the difference betweeen 6ch and 8ch helicopters?

4. What is the best brand for RC helicopters?
And is it better to buy a helicopter or is it better to assemble one?
And which method is more expensive?

Answer
Hi Nilushan,

You ask questions that cannot reliably be answered without more information from you.

Budget?
Nitro power or electric?
Indoor or outdoor?

I am going to assume that since you are asking questions about channel configuration, that you are looking at the smaller indoor electric helis.

I fly a lot of indoor aircraft, both planes and helicopters. The best indoor heli is the Blade MCX. $129.00
http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH2200
It is incredibly stable.
There are cheaper helis, but none that behave as well. The 2 channel helis like the airhogs are barely controllable. Buy an extra battery or two so you can charge while you are flying.

If you are looking for bigger electrics or nitro powered helis, you need to start doing research. Read up on the dedicated heli forums:
http://www.rcgroups.com/micro-helis-42/
http://www.rcgroups.com/mini-helis-374/
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_435/tt.htm
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Electric_RC_Helis/forumid_167/tt.htm
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Helicopter_Beginners_Forum/forumid_165/tt.htm

As for channel configurations:
2ch throttle and rudder. Up and down, rotate left and right. These cheap helis (Picco Z and Airhogs) are barely controllable.
3ch like a 2ch but adds pitch (forward and backward)
4ch adds roll (move left and right). These are often refereed to as FP or Fixed Pitch.
6ch adds pitch control, these are referred to as CP or Collective Pitch. There are small CP machines usable indoors or outdoors. CP machines are really the only choice if you plan on flying outdoors in anything but those few, rare absolutely calm evenings.

Good luck!

Edit: I understand that imitation is flattery, but really? A word for word copy?!? Whatever.
