Radio controlled helicopters offer hours of
unlimited fun both indoors and outdoors. These
come in different sizes and types, so rest
assured to find the best one without getting
harsh on your pockets. There are many kinds to
choose from, so it is advisable to conduct a
small personal research before making any
purchase. Endless entertainment is provided by
radio controlled helicopters no matter what age
group you belong to. It is very exciting to pilot
a small helicopter around. There are a number of
things you should know, if planning to buy a RC
helicopter. You must figure out the performance
of the item, blade control and various types of
power sources.

• Following are few tips that can help you to buy
  the best product
• Firstly, you should be aware of the fact that
  different sizes are available for RC helicopter,
  though it looks much better in larger sizes. It
  is quite obvious that the bigger ones require
  more expert craftsmanship and therefore more
  expensive than the smaller versions. These are
  exact replica of real helicopters, though have
  limited capabilities.
•  
• Second thing to consider is blade and tail rooter
  of the helicopter. Quality of the blades highly
  affects its performance. A good design and blade
  quality would help it to fly more effectively and
  evenly. Strong winds would not be able to affect
  its flight. It is important to note that blade
  quality is quite necessary to check as lower
  quality blades do not provide proper control.

• Nitro/Gaz models are available, if you are
  planning to perform stunts. You would find scale
  versions to be vulnerable to crashes as these are
  heavier in weight. It is quite easy to figure
  the ones meant for stunts and the others which
  are for flight purposes only. In comparison to
  scale helicopters, stunt ones are far cheaper in
  price and are not harsh on your pockets.
•  
• You should know the type of material you would
  prefer for your helicopter. These are made from
  different products such as fibreglass,
  polystyrene, polycarbonate and carbon fibre.
  Small sizes are generally made by using
  polystyrene and polycarbonate, but cold
  temperature and winds can strongly affect these.
  Fibreglass is heavier, but can easily handle
  extreme pressure. Out of these, carbon is
  strongest and lightest material, but it is quite
  expensive.

• One more important thing to consider is the
  source of energy you want in your helicopter.
  Electric, gas and nitro are available for you to
  choose from. Nitro and gas versions offer high
  power but these are supposed to refilled
  frequently and also create lot of noise. These
  should be kept in a cool and dry place.
•  
• Electric ones are highly preferred by majority of
  helicopter lovers. These have rechargeable
  batteries and produce almost no sound. With
  electric versions you would be spending less
  money on fuel and rechargeable batteries are far
  more economical.
•  
• You should be good in controlling, to fly RC
  helicopter properly. Figure out how to fly it, if
  you are just a beginner. This is quite important
  as you would not like to take chances of crashing
  and damaging your investment. It is recommended
  to read the user manual, in order to avoid any
  accidents or similar situations.

If you are taking it as a new hobby, then bear
the above points in your mind. Radio control
helicopters are an excellent way to enjoy by
performing the most complex of aerial acrobatics.
