Ever since I was little I was interested in remote control vehicles and toys. Remote control helicopter amazed me the most. They can fly like an airplane plus they can do many things an airplane could only dream of, like hover. Remote control helicopters can do all of these things as well just like the real thing. The more advanced remote helicopters can even do maneuvers real helicopters can not do.
With all the different directions and abilities of a helicopter what is there not to love? A real life helicopter is definitely out of reach for most people so what is the next best thing? A remote control one of course. Well as I found out remote control helicopters can be quite expense and very hard to learn to fly. They are complex and technological advanced aircrafts.
That was 20 years again though. Remote control helicopters have came a long way in those years and have gotten easier to fly and easier on the wallet as well. Remote control technology overall has really improved and became more affordable over the years. Now there are several different remote control helicopter options and some are even good for beginners.
Micro helicopters are small usually 2-channel remote control helicopters. These are toys which everyone and every skill level can enjoy. They are not capable of all the functions of a real helicopter but they are inexpensive and very easy to fly. They are great for beginners.
A step above micro remote control helicopters are coaxial helicopters. Coaxial helicopters have two main rotors which spin in opposite directions. This eliminates the need for a tail rotor. These remote control helicopters are usually either 3 or 4 channels and are capable of all the functions of a real helicopter except 3D flight and inverted flight. The main advantage of coaxial remote control helicopter is they are more stable than helicopter with tail rotors and they are easier to fly. These are not toys so do take them seriously. They will take time to learn and can break if crashed. You can get complete ready to fly kits for less than $200.
Next up are 4-channel fixed pitch remote control helicopters. These are a step above coaxial helicopters. Real helicopters have what is called collective pitch. These means the main rotor blade pitch can change. This allows the helicopter to go up and down very quickly. Well with a fixed pitch helicopter the pitch of the main rotor is fixed hints the name. The helicopter goes up and down by how fast or slow the rotor blades spin. Fixed pitch helicopters are a bit easier to than collective pitch helicopters because you have one less control to worry about when flying.
Next up are full blown remote control helicopters. These have up to 6 channels of controls and can be very difficult and expense to learn to fly and maintain. These have a collective pitch main rotor just like a real life helicopter. Do not let they hold you back though. Once you learn how to fly them you will not regret it. They are simply amazing. They can do everything a real life helicopter can do and more. They can fly completely inverted and do some amazing 3D maneuvers.
