Many people really wish to get into the hobby of flying an RC helicopter. The difficulty and learning curve of an RC helicopter and the potential disaster of crashing a very expensive model, are preventing many potential helicopter pilots from entering this sport. There has never been a better time to consider getting into RC helicopters. The current technology allows for almost everyone to learn with very little risk. The main thing to remember is to start with the correct model to learn basic flight, before advancing to a complex machine which will require an extreme amount of maintenance, knowledge and setup.
The absolute best helicopters for a new pilot are: NO TAIL ROTOR & Counter rotating main blades. The counter rotating main blades enhance the stability of the model and allow for the beginner to make a few errors with the needed time to correct a problem with transmitter input. A novice must learn to hover first without trying any other task and these type of helicopters will allow for a hover to be accomplished in a very short time. Have no doubt, if you are considering getting into the hobby, these are the type of helicopter to purchase. Chose one of these models and meet with success.
No vehicle in the world is as complex to maintain as a real, full grown helicopter. The Nitro or Gas RC helicopters are very much the same as the real thing. Lots of moving parts. Beginner helicopter enthusiasts havent a clue about how to setup a gas/Nitro helicopter. These machines are really fun and amazing but, a novice needs to stay away from purchasing such machines until acquiring the skill and knowledge that is sufficient enough to take on this daunting task of the total concentration that is required to handle what might very well have cost an individual as much as $700 and more. I want to include an explanation of just how complex one of the more expensive helicopters are and why it would be very expensive for someone that doesnt know all that is required to make the helicopter do the various types of maneuvers that are common to the real thing. Linkages and bearings would all need to be replaced in the event of braking a main rotor blade during a bad landing. Heres a brief description of a phenomenon that is referred to gyroscopic precession and is relevant to what is know as the swash plate which is what all the push rods and bearings are attached to in order change the main rotor angle for forward, sideways and backwards motion.
Gyroscopic precession
Gyroscopic precession is a phenomenon occurring in rotating bodies in which an applied force is manifested 90 degrees later in the direction of rotation from where the force was applied. Although precession is not a dominant force in rotary-wing aerodynamics, it must be reckoned with because turning rotor systems exhibit some of the characteristics of a gyro. This diagram shows how precession affects the rotor disk when force is applied at a given point.
A downward force applied to the disk at a point results in a downward change in disk attitude at 90 degrees in dirction of rotation. And upward force applied at any point, results in an upward change in disk attitude at 90 degrees in directon of rotation. This behavior explains some of the fundamental effects occurring during various helicopter maneuvers. For example, the helicopter behaves differently when rolling into a right turn than when rolling into a left turn. During roll into a left turn, the pilot will have to correct for a nose down tendency in order to maintain altitude. This correction is required because precession causes a nose down tendency and because the tilted disk produces less vertical lift to counteract gravity. Conversely, during a roll into a right turn, precession will cause a nose up tendency while the tilted disk will produce less vertical lift. Pilot input required to maintain altitude is significantly different during a right turn than during a left turn, because gyroscopic precession acts in opposite directions for each
