Tips for the R/C Helicopter Beginner
Getting into RC helicopters can be a scary experience for the RC helicopter beginner, unless you know what tools to acquire to make this hobby fun and exciting।
Fortunately for the beginner, there are many things, such as instructional videos, RC helicopter magazines, and RC helicopter flight simulators to help them prepare and learn.
A good place to start learning the ins and outs for an RC helicopter beginner is with a RC helicopter flight simulator. Although these seem quite expensive - the general price is around $200 USD - the experience you gain with the simulator is invaluable.
With a good simulator, the flying experience closely mimics that of a real RC helicopter, allowing the you to learn the controls at your leisure.
Experiment all you like - in a simulator, the crashes cost you no time and money.
By learning to fly and making your mistakes in a simulator, you save yourself hours of time and hundreds of dollars in repairs. One highly rated simulator is Real Flight Generation 2, which comes with a USB control pad that looks like a RC helicopter radio. Avoid RC helicopter simulators made for game consoles, as these usually do not have controls or physics that mimic reality.
When you're ready to start looking into purchasing a RC helicopter, investing in a RC helicopter hobby magazine is very useful for the RC helicopter beginner. Within these magazines you will find reviews for helicopters and parts to help you make the best decision on what to buy.
Once you are ready to fly, you must choose your RC helicopter.
As a RC helicopter beginner, you will find that there are many options for you to choose from - micro, mini, and larger sizes, electric and gas powered.
While the larger, gas-powered helicopters are easier for a beginner to control, the can't be used indoors due to the fumes, and they are more expensive to repair when they break. The smaller, electric powered helicopters, on the other hand, are more difficult to control but they can be used indoors as well as outdoors, and cost less to repair.
Before you set up your RC helicopter, you should read and re-read the instructions so you gain a good understanding of how the parts fit together, and where they should go.
After you've assembled your first RC helicopter, you should take it to your local hobby shop to have it checked over by an expert to make sure everything is in order. Remember, a loose part can mean a lost blade when you try to fly, damage to the helicopter, and possible serious injury to yourself or to bystanders.
The main blades of RC helicopters spin at a speed great enough to cut through flesh and cause serious injury!
Having an expert to 'mentor' you through your first experiences flying your RC helicopter is very helpful. A mentor is able to give you tips not necessarily covered in the instructions or magazines, and provide real-time help with building and flying your helicopter.
Alternatively, you can watch instructional videos, many of which are made for specific models of helicopters and provide step-by-step walkthroughs on building the helicopter and getting started with flight. For the RC helicopter beginner, watching how the helicopter is put together in real time can clarify any confusing parts of a paper manual.
Using these tools to gain experience and knowledge will help you have the confidence you need to start your hobby off in an exciting and fun manner.

When Purchasing a Remote Control Helicopter
Flying remote control helicopters is a fun and relaxing activity enjoyed by millions of people, both young and old. There are several different types of remote control helicopters, ranging from simple, easy to fly models to complex kits that must be assembled. This popular hobby requires various levels of commitment as well. Whether you’re looking for some weekend family fun with your RC helicopter or plan to become an experienced, avid pilot, there are a few things to consider before buying your first remote control helicopter.
1. How much time do you want to commit?
Remote control helicopters are available in several different styles and vary greatly in price. Ready to fly (RTF) models are already assembled and complete with all the components. This type can be taken out of the box and played with immediately and is the best choice for beginners. Almost ready to fly (ARF) helicopters are about 90 percent assembled, but still require some building and extra parts. Remote control helicopter kits are also available and require complete assembly, as well as an engine and transmitter.
2. Gas powered or electric?
Both types of RC helicopters have their advantages and disadvantages, so how do you choose which is best for you? Electric helicopters are typically less expensive than gas ones and are much simpler to use. They are the best choice for young pilots, as well as beginners. Electric powered helicopters run on batteries rather than smelly gas, so there are no fumes. Electric motors are also practically silent while operating, so this type of RC helicopter is more versatile and can be used almost anywhere.
Gas powered RC helicopters are messier, more complicates, and much louder than their cheaper electric counterparts, but gas remote control helicopters are usually the preferred type for experienced pilots. They are thought to be more realistic than electric models and give the pilot a chance to be more involved with the aircraft and how it functions. Gas powered helicopters are typically better for frequent use because the tank can simply be refilled rather than having to replace costly batteries or wait hours for a recharge.
3. Where will you fly your RC helicopter?
Remote control helicopters also come in all sizes. If you are looking for a fun and unique helicopter for indoors, there are micro RC helicopters that are so small you can hold them inside your hand. Another option for indoor flying is an electric model. Electric remote control helicopters do not produce any harmful fumes or odors so they are ideal for large, open areas that are enclosed.
If you plan on flying your remote control helicopter outside, you should consider the wind conditions in your area. A larger helicopter will offer more control in windy situations so a mini helicopter may not be the best choice if you will fly in wind often. Helicopters with fixed pitch (FP) blades are recommended for novice pilots because they are less expensive, easier to use, and simpler to repair, but a collective pitch (CP) helicopter is much better for windy conditions.
3. Gas powered or electric?
Both types of RC helicopters have their advantages and disadvantages, so how do you choose which is best for you? Electric helicopters are typically less expensive than gas ones and are much simpler to use. They are the best choice for young pilots, as well as beginners. Electric powered helicopters run on batteries rather than smelly gas, so there are no fumes. Electric motors are also practically silent while operating, so this type of RC helicopter is more versatile and can be used almost anywhere.

Gas powered helicopters are typically better for frequent use because the tank can simply be refilled rather than having to replace costly batteries or wait hours for a recharge.
4. How experienced are you?
If you are new to flying remote control helicopters, you may want to begin with a good flight simulator software program designed for RC pilots. Flight instructors are also an option if you are really serious about the hobby. Novice pilots should select an expensive remote control helicopter with easy to access spare parts. It is best to start with a small, electric model because crashes are usually inevitable during the learning process.

Electric RC helicopters predominance
In the near past,electric RC helicopters were used indoors specifically due to their small size as well as lack of emission of fumes. Larger helicopters have been developed since then and are ideal for outdoor use. These have been available for the last few years and are immensely popular. Their quietness is one factor which contributes greatly to their popularity. Therefore, they can also be flown in neighborhoods where there are restrictions on noise levels. Original nitro helicopters have also been converted into electric powered helicopters with the help of commercial or home made kits.
However, these helicopters were not as popular before due to the price tag, the amount of maintenance needed and the countless quantity of practice and patience that was required to fly them properly. Today, all this is no longer the case and these helicopters have achieved and maintained popularity with customers over the years. Mentioned below are some features that makes them popular now-a-days:
* Reasonable cost: In the past RC helicopters usually came at steep prices where each and every part and configuration required had to be bought and assembled. Electric RC helicopters usually come for less then $200 and cheaper and more sophisticated models are coming out regularly. The best part is that they normally come fully assembled and ready to fly. All necessary equipments and accessories are included in the kit. Also by using batteries to operate the helicopters, money is further saved as its no longer necessary to buy several gallons of gas to fly.
* Clean and silent: Originally thought to make a lot of noise as well as create pollution, the RC helicopters were rarely flown around neighborhoods. However, issues of noise size and pollution are not a problem with the electric RC models. Noise has been greatly reduced while pollution has been done away with altogether. This has also rendered them neighborhood safe.
* Reliable and convenient flying: Gas helicopters are prone to crashes since gas engines are not really very reliable. Electric rc helicopters, on the contrary are very reliable. They don't cut out mid air even if the battery is down and there is no need to crank up the engine over and over again. The electric motors can function anywhere at any point of time while theres battery. They are also easier to fly then gas models which makes them ideal for beginners.
There are some other benefits as well to the electric RC helicopter. They include easy maintenance which means the amount of fixing to be done is kept to a minimum and also its size. These helicopters can be small enough to be flown in the bed room. With the models being improved upon regularly, is it any wonder that these helicopters are so in demand?

In full-scale trim, the Ferrari 575 GTC is a bona fide race car. Kyosho captures the power and sleek lines of this purebred machine in the latest version of the FW-05T Plus RTR nitro touring car. This chassis is based on the FW-05R racecar so it’s already got excellent race breeding. Unlike most racers, however, it’s a design that also results in a durable, low-maintenance package that has unmatched value in the market. The engine is one of the most powerful of its size, and the revolutionary pull-starter design doesn’t slow down the engine or require any regular maintenance because there is no one- way bearing. The 4WD shaft-drive system is virtually maintenance-free compared to belt-drive cars and it produces lightning-quick acceleration. Even quicker acceleration results from the included two-speed transmission; second gear produces faster top speeds. Combine all this with durable aluminum clutch shoes are installed for long lasting performance and this is a potent combination for the street or the track. FW-05 PLUS also includes front universal shafts, threaded aluminum oil shocks, turnbuckle linkage rods to make adjustment quick and easy, and V-One RRR rear hubs for more adjustability and better performance.

How To Build an RC helicopter
How To Build an RC helicopter
When you decide to Build an RC helicopter and jump into the RC helicopter hobby, the first thing you will need to do is decide on and purchase a model.Last month,I bought a model from hobby-estore.com.
However, you will not be ready to fly immediately; no matter what model you choose, you will need to build it before you can fly.
Building an RC helicopter can be a daunting task, but with the right tools and information you will gain a lot of knowledge and joy for completing this task.
The first thing to do is to decide on what helicopter to buy.
The best way to determine this is to find out the different kinds of RC helicopters, read reviews on various models of the types you are interested in, and make an informed decision from this information on how to Build an RC helicopter.
After you've decided on and purchased your RC helicopter, you will also need to purchase the various parts for it.
You will need an engine to make it run, servos to control various mechanical parts in the helicopter, a gyro to control the tail rotor, a radio to control it once it's ready to fly, and receivers to transmit signals from the radio to the servos.
You should also make sure you have the tools necessary to Build an RC helicopter; screw drivers, ball drivers, nut drivers, wrenches, pliers, fuel-filters, addition glow plugs, ball link pliers, and a pitch gauge. You may also want to see what kind of bolts and screws you will be using so you can purchase additional ones, just in case the kit is missing some, or through mischance one rolls off and goes missing during assembly.
Finally, you should prepare for when you are ready for your test flight by having field equipment - which should definitely include the type of starter your helicopter requires!
When you begin building your helicopter, it is extremely important you read and re-read the instructions until you fully understand them and how the parts will fit together when you begin building the helicopter. When you start the actual assembly of the helicopter, it is of prime importance that you take your time.
Anything that turns should be balanced, all end points should be equal, and all bolts are tightened enough - but not too much.
You will also want to balance your blades, which is best done with a blade balancer. Afterwards, you will need to set up your radio. The more familiar with your radio you can be before you fly, the better off you will be.
Finally, before you fly, you may want to have an experienced RC helicopter pilot look over your model. Oftentimes you can find a person to do this at the shop you bought your helicopter and parts from. Having an experienced hobbyist look over your Build an RC helicopter can help ensure that everything is put together properly and ease your mind about your upcoming first flight.
