The Gas Helicopter Vs the Electric Helicopter

I am very enthusiastic about flying and building Remote Controlled Helicopters, and enjoy working with both The Gas Helicopter and the Electric Helicopter


The Electric Remote Control Helicopter

The last Electric Remote Control Helicopter I purchased was the Twister Medevac Bell 47. The classic war helicopter made famous by the seventies comedy drama show 'MASH'.

The Twister Medevac Bell 47 is a great Electric Remote Control Helicopter and is good for beginners and experts alike. It comes RTF (ready to fly) out of the box and with a little practice - flies like a dream. The reason it is so easy to fly is due to the co-axial design of the blades. It has two main sets of blades, one above the , that turn in opposite directions and because of this a tail rotor blade is not necessary. All in all it gives a great flying experience.

This model is now mainly unavailable, but never fear there is a new Electric Remote Control Helicopter available which is the same design.

Introducing the ESKY Lama 2 V3 Electric Remote Control Helicopter. This is a great Helicopter and is the same design as the Twister Medevac Bell 47.

In conclusion the Electric Remote Control Helicopter is affordable and easy to fly with a little practice and is enjoyed by beginners and experts alike, with the added advantage of coming RTF out of the box, especially if all you want to do is enjoy the flying without getting involved with the building.

The Remote Control Gas Helicopter

When entering the world of the Gas helicopter, there is a lot more to think about.

Are you serious about Flying Remote Controlled Helicopters?

Are you in it for the long haul?

I don't mean to sound so serious, but when entering the world of the Gas Helicopter you will be spending a lot more time and money, and need to make sure its what you want to do.

A good entry level Gas Helicopter is the Thunder Tiger Raptor 30 V2 ARF. It come 90% built and doesn't cost a fortune, which is great for your first project.

Although the Raptor 30 V2 ARF is widely recognized as an entry level Gas Helicopter, it is still capable of some excellent maneuvers and 3D flying. It is not only used by beginners but by experts as well. It is also so has a wide range of spares available and is easily upgradable.

In conclusion the Gas Helicopter gives you a much better flying experience but is for someone who is serious about flying and is in it for some time to come.

The Best Place to Find RC Electric Helicopters

Where is the best place to find RC electric helicopters? I can tell you for definite that you will first require to look in an electronics store, such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, or Circuit City. There you could find RC electric helicopters for a reasonable cost and you will probably get long lasting model. My recommendation for locating RC electric helicopters would be to first go to your preferred company's online site and look through the models they have on the market.

Since you most likely won't be able to make use of the helicopters in the actual store, it is sometimes better to read about them online and then order them through the company. Yes, you may require to pay a bit additional for shipping, but I think it is worth it. Then when you get the remote control helicopter, you can immediately take it out to your back yard and see the way it performs.

Save the box in case it ends up not being as long lasting as the company promised it would be. You ought to always make definite you receive a warranty for your RC electric helicopter because you might finish up needing to send it back in exchange for a different. I would recommend getting with welded sides or even a continuous plastic sheath so you don't must worry about it cracking or rusting.

Whatever you do, make definite you research it well and buy your helicopter from a reputable company, because you definitely don't require to must return it soon after you buy it. Your best bet would probably be Radio Shack in case you require to receive a nice deal, but you could also try the Discovery Store or even Brookstone if you are looking for a model that will impress people.

In either case, a RC electric helicopter is a great idea for fun on a bright sunny weekend, and as long as you do your research and know what you are looking for ahead of time, you'll be definite to get the RC electric helicopters that best suit you and you can get years of enjoyment out of it.

You require to think about your motivation ahead of time: would you a model that looks flashy in the air or that doesn't break in case you finish up crashing it in to the ground? These are things you require to think about before you make a purchase, because you might must compromise quality for beauty or vice versa. My recommendation is to receive a RC electric helicopter that can withstand the check of time and crashes, because choosing the that looks best to you is not the best way to go about it. If it is and you crash it, the remote control helicopter will quickly become ugly, and you ought to not must deal with that.

And if it so happens that the first you choose turns out to be poor quality and you require to buy another in a short time, know that you learned how long lasting they require to be, and next time you buy a RC electric helicopter, you can be a more informed consumer.

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.

Remote Control Helicopter Purchasing Tips

Remote Control Helicopter Purchasing Tips
Purchasing a remote control helicopter is a fun experience, you have to figure out first how much am I going to spend and where should I buy this. There are many remote control helicopters on the internet and then go from fifteen dollars to a few thousand, depending on a lot of factors. The smaller helicopters are run by a small little electric battery, and they are elegant and swift looking. The larger remote control helicopters are gas powered and have a pretty intricate motor on them.
The Smaller electric powered helicopters can be flown indoors, though I would not think that would be to fun, unless you put a camera on it. There are some that can fly outdoors, and they are pretty sturdy looking machines. These bring out the little boy in all the men, and rightfully so. The helicopters that are electric seem to stay around the twenty to one hundred dollar figure for price. Depending on the blade length and the remote can add extra dollars to one of these fine helicopters.

There is such a variety of different remote control helicopters that it could be a hard decision. They are fun to watch and bet they are easier to handle than the remote control airplanes. The price just depends on the toy you decide to justify for yourself or child.The suggested helicopter for a younger flyer would be the electric models and they would be practical if you live in the city limits. The nitro or gas supplied helicopters are more for the experienced pilot, one crash and bang out of these would hurt your pocket book pretty hard.

RC Helicopter Tips That Will Give You More Airtime

RC Helicopter Tips That Will Give You More Airtime
Flying remote controlled RC helicopters is a fun and rewarding hobby. It can be challenging. There are many different parts and pieces in those miniature helicopters. Here are some excellent tips that will give you more airtime and less downtime.
The very first tip that every pilot should learn is to understand your helicopter. While it is a toy, it is also a very complex machine with extremely fast moving parts. Always think safety first! You should have a small checklist that you go over before your start flying. Make sure everything looks and operates perfectly. Make sure all screws are nice and snug, especially the ones in the tail. Inspect all of the linkage. Make sure there are no snags and that every thing moves nice and smoothly.

Learn your radio and it’s controls. Go over the manual with a fine toothed comb and make sure there is no one else near you operating at the same frequency. Make sure you know what every little button and switch does before you fly.

The next tip is something a lot of people never think about. If you are a novice pilot, make sure that you have plenty of room when you first start flying. Large open fields are a great place to start. Never try and fly your RC helicopter indoors. This is a bad idea!
These are just a few great tips that will help you get the most our of your new remote controlled RC helicopter. Play safe and have fun!

Prepare to Fly Your RC Helicopter

Prepare to Fly Your RC Helicopter
Learning how to fly an RC helicopter is a really cool hobby. Imagine, you alone in a field with your very own RC helicopter, flying it all by yourself. You feel a sense of self-empowerment, that you’re in charge.
But in order to reach that level, you’ve got to learn to fly one first, How do you prepare to fly an RC helicopter? The following instructions may be helpful:
-It’s good to learn to get a feel what it’s like to fly such a helicopter. It may be good to try a computer simulator version of an RC helicopter, so you get a feel or grip on what flying the above helicopter feels like. Such simulators can cost as little as $20 or as much as $50, but it will pay off in the long run.

-It’s also good to take an experienced RC pilot to go along with you while you’re learning to fly. They can give your helicopter a pre-flight check as well as making sure you know exactly what to do.

-Start off small, with little hops, as you begin to get used to your RC helicopter, you can go to higher and higher heights.

Electric RC Helicopter Pros And Cons

Electric RC Helicopter Pros And Cons
There are different models of RC helicopters. Some have more advantages than others. If you are planning on buying one for you or as a gift for somebody else, it is important to check out the electric RC helicopter pros and cons before you make your purchase.
These are favored more because they are easier to fly especially if you do not have a lot of experience with them. You will also not have to know how an engine works because it runs off from batteries. You do not have to fill it with gas or anything. Batteries are changed or charged pretty easily.
One disadvantage of this is that you will have to wait until is charges up completely. The gas powered ones can be filled up and then they go again. The batteries can limit the amount of time that these are used at a time.

They are also quieter than the gas powered ones. This will allow your neighbors to have peace and quiet while you are having your fun. For the most part, these can be flown anywhere that these are allowed. Some people feel that the noise of the engine is what excites them. The electric ones do not have this. So some people will not enjoy them as well.

They are also safe. This is because nothing is flammable. When the batteries run down, you charge the batteries and you can fly again. One thing to remember when you are using something of this sort is that precaution should be used when using them.

Safety Rules For Your RC helicopter

Safety Rules For Your RC helicopter
Flying RC Helicopters is a lot of fun for people of all ages. To keep it fun for everyone involved, make sure to follow all applicable safety rules, especially those mandated by a RC club or organization, should you belong to one. There are many types of RC helicopters, and their operations vary, but here are a few safety tips to follow:
Before operating an RC copter, always do a pre-flight check, making sure the helicopter’s parts are secure, and the helicopter is properly fueled or charged. This is to keep dangerous parts from flying off into random directions, but also prevent the helicopter from falling in mid-flight. Do not forget to make sure the batteries in the remote are adequately charged, to ensure a good operating signal at all times during flight.

It is important to stand a safe distance away from helicopter before flight and prior to landing, making sure the area is clear of bystanders. Some bystanders, especially children, are not aware of what is happening around them so you have to be their eyes and ears. Do not operate a gas powered RC helicopter indoors, nor an electric one that is not rated for indoor use.

Also make sure that flying conditions are optimal. Overly windy days or other scenarios can hamper flight operations, and result in a terminal crash. When in flight, be sure to avoid obstacles such as trees and power lines, and other helicopters or planes. Remember to be courteous and have fun!

RC Helicopter Accessories – Which Ones Should I get?

RC Helicopter Accessories – Which Ones Should I get?
RC helicopters are an excellent hobby to get into but just like any other hobby you are going to need some accessories. There are so many small working parts inside RC helicopters. They can be modified and improved on with many of these great accessories.
You can start with something as simple as decals. Use them to modify and customize your helicopter to fit your needs. If decals are not your thing you can always try some paint. Feeling artistic? Then unleash your inner artist with some great styles and colors. You can go as simple as you want or you can go as wild as you want. The choice is all yours.
Blade holders are an excellent accessory to help keep your blades in place and protect them. They are inexpensive and every RC pilot should have a few in his or her tool box. Increase the life of your helicopter. Protect the blades.

If you are flying electric helicopters, you are going to want more than one battery pack. With battery packs come chargers too. Just make sure that you get something that is rated for your specific helicopter.

Get a a little deeper inside and you can start swapping out other working parts for better performance and speed. You can switch out the stock servos for ones that are smoother and offer more control or if speed is your thing then a faster motor can make a world of difference.
These are just a few of the many accessories available for RC helicopters.

Dynam E-Razor 250 Pro

Fly High With The Dynam E-Razor 250 Pro RC Helicopter

RC Helicopter Reviews | by admin | 0 Comments

Fly High With The Dynam E-Razor 250 Pro RC Helicopter
If you are looking for a great RC Heli that can fly high then look no further than the Dynam E-Razor 250 Pro RC Helicopter. This little machine can fly very smooth and very stable. That is something that you just do not see in an RC helicopter of this size and price range. Let’s take a look inside.
When you open this awesome little helicopter up the first thing that you will notice is the simple yet compact rigid frame. The engineering and design that went into this frame really helps pack tons of great features into such a small space. It is light weight but strong and everything is pretty easy to get to.

The next thing you might notice is the battery pack that mounts right in the nose. It uses a 7.4V 850MAH 15C li-polymer battery pack. You can expect to get around eight minutes of fun flying time with a full charge. One of the coolest features is the brushless motor. It is quiet and extremely efficient. It is hard to believe that this little motor can dish out so much power with such a small battery.

It uses a metal head and plastic linkage. Strong where it should be and weak where you want it to be. It uses metal tail grips as well. The Gyro is very sensitive. It only takes a very small turn of the pot for adjustment.
Overall the E-Razor 250 is a great little RC Helicopter for the price.
