Remote Control Helicopters

Cheap mini electric rc helicopters can be flown indoors and outdoors, while fast gas powered radio control helicopters need to be flown outdoors.

Below is an introduction to the world of remote control helicopters.

Mini Electric Powered RC Helicopters

These are best for beginners. The electric motor design is less complicated and easy to set up.

There are very simple electric rc helicopters that cost less than $60. Great if you just want to try out the hobby.

However, I would recommend you start of with "real" electric powered remote control helicopters such as the Skylark Ready to Fly Helicopter or the AeroHawk RTF Helicopter. 

At less than $250, these remote controlled helicopters are a bargain!

Skylark Ready to Fly Electric Powered RC Helicopter

Note: Ready to fly or RTF means that the kit comes with radio, battery, and charger. These models or kits come already assembled.

Indoor Remote Control Helicopters

These micro rc helicopters are small enough to play indoor or your backyard. Simple design makes it easy even for beginners. 

Electric motors make operation easy and quiet, perfect if you have neighbors.

Imagine flying one in your living room. Better yet, since rc helicopters are cheap, buy two and double the fun!

Gas Powered Radio Control Helicopters

These fast radio controlled helis use small model gas engines, and are design for more advance and experienced modelers.

Because of the cost and technical complexity, I do not recommend gas rc helicopters for beginners. These are very advanced models that are better suited for experienced fliers.
