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.

Need a good aluminum bodied RC helicopter?

Preston Ri

So I have been looking for a few days but I canât seem to find a good durable aluminum bodied helicopter that is a good price I need a good rc helicopter that is less or at $100 I canât find any really but it has to have a sideways prop or back wing and a balance bar and 2 sets of blades or anything thatâs good and under $100.

(It can be a full size or a mini but a good one)

Answer
aluminum is way too heavy.
a good durable rc helicopter are the ones you find in toysrus.
letme tell you that even if the helicopter had an aluminum shell, when you crash, you would mess all the rotor components, even if you don't break them, you would "bend" them.

a good durable helicopter for newbies is the honey bee v2

check it out at
www.xheli.com
if someone else finds it in other place then go ahead and buy from them, I'm advertising xheli because i have bought 3 helis from them without any problems PERIOD.

the chopper is at 100 dollars, it doesn't look so cool but hey, it's durable and it also shows good stamina.

Mini RC plane?

wax

I recently bought my father an RC Super-cub for father's day. Looking at the planes at the hooby shop and online kinda inspired me to give RC flight a try also.

However, rather than get a full size RC model, I was wanting to get a mini-RC plane.

Here's what I'm looking for.

Electric engines
7-10 minute flight time
Small enough to fly on a football/soccer field.
Easy to fly
Highly durable
Ready-to-fly
Price approx $40 or less

It can be either ground takeoff or hand-launch
I like the thought of the dual-engine models that use engine speeds to turn rather than rudders, but that's not required.

Amazon isn't much help b/c of a lack of reviews on many of the models, and many of the RC sites don't give all the information I need to make a good purchase

Thanks in advance

Answer
Alrighty. I have the perfect brand for you! Have you ever heard of Air Hogs? Their product line is best for beginning pilots. If you are not a beginning pilot, then the easy to fly planes and helicopters are good enough for relaxing instead of dealing with those hard to fly and maintain hobby aircrafts. From what i read about the mini- RC plane, I have tested many of the RC planes that will suit you well.

The Air Hogs Aero Ace have been my most favorite plane in the product line for many years. Although one of the batteries in the plane died out from excessive charging (not product defect, but from flying over 100 times) I decided to purchase another one. This is a bi-plane, not the jet. The jet is also good. It is more aerodynamic and fast. The plane charges up in 30 minutes (or less) and could fly for over 10 minutes; depending on how you fly. I get 15 minutes out of it sometimes. These are all hand launched planes. They have dual-engine that turns, no rudders at all. These both charge from the controller. Here are the links to the products. (You do not need to buy from this site, but it is for reference)
The Bi-plane:

The jet version:

Here is the Air Hogs RC F-16. It is a fast and aerodynamic plane. Although some people have said that they have experienced problems, I have not experienced any when i bought it and flew it. It flies great and fast. The charging time is 30 minutes and the flight time is about 10 minutes. It charges from the controller. Here is the link to that.

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2673965

Those are the 3 highly recommended planes I would suggest to you from my experience. I personally think that the Air Hogs company is doing a good job at making beginner aircrafts. Check them out. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me, and i will message you back as long as you allow messaging in your profile. If not, please message me your email. Happy flights!

What kind of rc helicopter should i get?

most durable mini rc helicopters image

shaggy8813

I have Absolutely no experience and was wondering what i should get as my first helicopter. i don't want to spend more than $75 or $80 so i was wondering if it is even possible to get a good one if that's the most i can spend. Right now i was looking at the New Esky 2.4G Nano RTF 4 Channel Mini Helicopter. is it good? like i said i have no idea so please help!

Answer
I've been wanting to buy one of those for a very long time. Based on my research, it's best if you get one that uses at least 3 channels with gyro. Also, make sure it uses RF radio and not Infrared because infrared won't work in direct sun light and you have to be within a relatively close range of the heli for it to work. Read the reviews and buy something durable or else your money is down the drain. Also, check on the battery life and whatnot. If the seller says the battery lasts for 10 minutes, it probably lasts 8 minutes.

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 most DURABLE mini 3 CHANNEL rc helicopter?

and easy to control?

Answer
you should have a look on twenga and see which one it gives the best review on, they have a great selection so im sure the one for you will be in there.

Fast charging Mini RC Helicopters?

Agitator

My little brother bought himself a mini RC helicopter, which once fully charged flies around great for about 10 minutes- then needs to be charged again. The only thing that's disappointing is that the little helicopter needs to charge for 40 minutes in order to fly for 10 minutes.

His birthday is coming up and I wanna get him a helicopter that will charge quickly, or at least quicker than 40 minutes.

Any suggestions?

Answer
Don't get a junk helicopter like airhogs. They won't last a day. Get a blade mcx, it's lots of fun, very durable and easy to learn to fly. It's a quality helicopter, but the standard charger will take about 40 minutes to charge. However, you can buy quick chargers that will charge it in much less time.
