2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz, which is best for you?
If you fly with a Mhz radio such as 72, 36 or 35mhz then you should choose a 2.4Ghz FPV system as it will give you more range for the same power. Many hard-core FPV pilots fly with Mhz radios because of its superior range to 2.4Ghz radio control systems.
If you have a Spektrum, Futaba or other 2.4Ghz radio, then you need to fly with a 5.8Ghz system.

Tips for Flying your RC helicopter

Tips for Flying your RC helicopter
Have you recently purchased a remote control helicopter and are wondering what you should know before you begin flying it? In the following article you will learn a few tips to help you start flying your RC helicopter. These tips are meant to be helpful, and give you a little bit more of an idea of what you should do, or need to do before flying your helicopter.
First you should familiarize yourself with the helicopters remote control. On most remote controlled helicopters there generally have two sticks, also known as controller sticks on each side. One stick is meant to control the throttle and the other the rudder. Aside from these two remote control sticks there is also going to be the two dials that are often used for adjusting the aileron trim and elevator trims.
Next you will of course need to make sure that you have plugged in your battery pack in the helicopter to make sure that it has a full battery. If it doesn’t, be sure to charge the helicopter before usage. By making sure your battery has a full charge you are giving yourself more opportunity to fly with it.
Next you should try raising the helicopter from the floor or another flat surface and work on getting use to the controls of taking off and lifting. By doing this, you are giving yourself the advantage of knowing how to land. Once you have figured this out, you can try moving upwards, downwards, to the left and to the right. The small adjustments that you make will give you more of an idea on how to control and fly your rc helicopter.
The thing to keep in mind when you are learning to fly your helicopter is to be sure you have read the entire manual from cover to cover to get the idea of how to use it. The most important thing to remember with these tips is to be sure that you practice them. The more often you practice using your rc helicopter you will get more familiar with it, and be able to have hours of entertainment each time.
