RC helicopters are not cheap at all. They are not the kinds of toys that you will go to the stores and purchase them without making a few considerations. This is because you have to be sure about what you are buying before buying it so that you will get what you are looking from the helicopter and you will not waste your money in the end. It is therefore important to have a criterion to follow in their purchase so as to ensure that you are buying what you really need and that which will give you more excitement and the satisfaction that you are looking for.

The growth of electric rc helicopters is strong right now.  One of the factors is because of the improved battery, micro electronic technology, and motor that was not available a few years ago. Today, electric rc choppers have caught up with nitro rc choppers in terms of performance. Single rotor electric hobby grade helicopters which some hobbyists swore not to fly are not flying it. The noise electric choppers produce is increasingly attracting a number a number of funs. The electric motor is quite allowing the sound of rotor blades to be heard beating air molecules into submission. The larger rc helicopters such as the 600's and 700's have similar sounding turbine powered rc helis that makes them more popular and applicable to scale remote controlled helicopters. The convenience of electric choppers is not dealing with messy nitro goo, starters and glow drivers, engine starting and tuning hassles and shipping costs associated with fuel.

The transition in the hobby of rc choppers is the popularity of rc electric helicopters and planes over nitro rc helis. The flight times of electric choppers are equal or even longer compared to nitro and gas models. Some of the electric choppers get 15 to 20 minutes of flight times on a single battery charge. The toy rc helis and electric micro coaxial rc helis is an introduction to a whole new group of people to a wonderful hobby of rc helis.  The size spectrum for electric rc helicopters continues to be expanded. The small end of the spectrum consists of models like the E-flite's Blade mCX2 with rotor diameter of over 7 inches.
