Required things:
Long flight time on full charge
Not a long flight time
Looks good
Under $200
Durable
Larger than those helicopters you see in Brookstone or on tv (example: Havoc Heli)
Is nice and will last
If it is worth it i would be willing to go over my price by a little but im saving for a Nikon D5000 so not very much
and the first answer will not do 
lol
One that works!
Should I get one with image stabilization instead? Obviously to catch the helicopter in flight you would have to follow it with the camera???
Yes, since it doesn’t depend on image stabilization but more on shutter speed and aperture.
Image Stabilization corrects the image when your hand is shaking and it creates a stabilization effect.
Action shots involving quick objects such as an RC helicopter whizzing by you or maneuvering or even jinking (assuming the controller is so skilled) requires a fast shutter speed and at least 1/60th of a second to ensure your own hand and body movements don’t blur the shot.
If you’re trying to capture fast action such as the jinking or fly by, you may need to set your shutter speed to 1/90th / 1/120th of a second to even enter the threshold of clear and blurry free pic.
The challenge of photogrpahing helicopters either large or small is the the rotor blades can be frozen to where it appears the copter is just danling in mid air since the fast shutter speed will ignore the blurring "buzzzing / flying disc" saucer effect the fast moving rotors project to the human eye.
Since you’re shooting in daylight and depending on whether it is sunny or cloudy, you can depict the moving rotors with a high f/Stop (aperture) and a slower shutter like 1/60th or even 1/30th if you can take the picture like a rifle sniper:
1. Frame the shot
2. Take a deep breath and from your diaphragm / suck your stomach in while breathing in, not sucking your stomach out
3. Let out half of the deep diaphragm breath
4. Release the trigger
Failing that, a handheld shot at 1/30th of a second will be just as blurry as our economy.
Heli fuel doesn’t go ‘off’ in the going bad sense. With the right storage conditions it is possible to store it for as long a 5 years but the real problem is whether you can avoid it becoming contaminated with moisture from the air. Each time the fuel is exposed to the air, it absorbs moisture and this can then prevent your model from running as smoothly as it might as the fuel burns. The worst thing you can do is to decant unused fuel back into its container as the re-poured fuel will suck moisture out of the air and then contaminate the pure stuff. If possible, always expel as much air from your storage bottle before tightening the cap.
I want to buy an rc heli and i was thinking of coaxial but i want something that’s maneuverable and stable and that doesn’t cost to much so i could fly it indoors and outside
depends on your budget if your willing to pay between 50-100dollars then you should get a 4 channel AH-64 helicopter. Its fun to fly inside and outside at certian weather condition. Just no rain and heavy winds
what is a good 4ch remote controlled helicopter for beginners?
I want it under 100 dollars, or for 100 dollars
go to a website where they sell it or yotube
I want to get a RC Helicopter, because i need to start a new hobby. Where can i get all the parts to a helicopter, with instructions to build one? I want to buy online, and i want to start before June/July.
I would suggest clicking on the following link:
http://searchrc.horizonhobby.com/index.jsp?sid=126455C8D5E0&Ne=500&N=5401+593
Those helicopters listed and the site provided will show you what helicopter is best and the available parts that you can replace it with.
I would suggest starting with a coaxial helicopter; The one with one propeller on top of the other.
Something like this:
http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH2300
They are affordable and it comes with everything you need to do the hobby.
You don’t need the instructions to build one, and it is best not to build your first helicopter, as it just builds frustration with the hobby as it doesn’t fly. The helicopter you purchase here does come with a manual that states how to replace a part for the helicopter if necessary.
so basically, im making this box for christmas to send off to an orphan in ukraine, he wants a remote control helicopter, does anyone know anywhere i can buy a good one at a low price?
Check out the site below - it has some excellent examples of micro helis which are a real blast to fly, plus good tips and sources for buying them on sale.
i have an rc chopper. when i charge it and start it , after reaching a
certain speed , the blades stop and the heli says the battery is low .
but if i continue spinning the blades below the flying speed , the battery
does not does not discharge. WHAT IS WRONG ?
Please state the brand and model of the helicopter, and I will provide the needed information for the fix.
