Selection of a Scale RC Helicopter

Selection of a Scale RC Helicopter

Remote control helicopters are designed to perform and look a lot like a real helicopter. RC helicopters are not the same as RC airplanes and vary in many ways. RC helicopters come in many different sizes, colors, speeds, and prices. They also vary mechanically from one to another.

A scale RC helicopter can be bought in two different ways. They can be purchased assembled and ready to use or unassembled. The unassembled helicopters are favored by novice users and collectors of scale RC helicopters.

RC helicopters vary in size and can be either very small or very large. Smaller remote control helicopters are good for beginners and are usually what is found in toy stores. Smaller RC helicopters are easier to fly and generally cheaper than larger ones. The smaller the helicopter the easier to repair and the less expensive the replacement parts are. As price increases the quality of the product increases and the more similar it becomes to a real helicopter not only in appearance but by performance as well. Another factor affecting price is the size. The larger the helicopter is the more expensive it is, the more power it has, and more experience is needed to maneuver it.

There are two different ways that a RC helicopter can be powered. These two are either by electricity or by gas. Electric powered helicopters tend to be less expensive and easier to work. Gas powered RC helicopters are more similar to a real helicopter but are more difficult to repair and maintain.

Learning how to use a scale RC helicopter requires more skill then flying an RC airplane. RC air planes do not require the same maneuvering techniques because they do not have the same range of abilities of a RC helicopter. Controlling an RC helicopter requires several different activities that differ from controlling a RC airplane.

Avid collectors of RC helicopters generally look for helicopters that operate and look like a real ones. The more hobby-grade the helicopter is the higher the cost more and the more capabilities it has. They can reach speeds as fast as 80mph and can go as high as 12000 feet.
