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:

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.
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.

Hi, I am a Paparazzi and am sticking on a lightweight camera onto a Remote controled helicopter. It will not go further than 20 meters up in there are, but as far as 150 meters away from the remote. My budget is under $300 but if you could recommend others a bit over that price range that are worth it, that would be fine.
THank you.
Get the Blade CX2 or Blade CX3 from E-Flite. Those are the best beginner helicopters that may be able to support your camera… depending on how big it is.
RC Helicopters are fun, but noisy..is it because the electric motors are noisy or is it the rotors moving through the air that makes so much noise?
It is the rotors making the noise.
As a helicopter crewman for 15 years we always had to listen to the fixed-wing pilots favorite joke about helicopters:
"They don’t FLY… they just beat the air into submission !!"
Seriously, the electric motor is almost silent. There will be a high-pitched whine from the gearing system. And the loudest noise will be the rotor-tips pounding the air. ALSO, there is a secondary noise from where the rotors cross over or near the tail rotor.
Im looking for a lama v3 rc helicopter or any other 3 or 4 channel helicopter like it. Not the 2.4ghz lama just the regular one. It has to be ABOUT $60 or less. 10 points
Like i said in the $60 dollar range
ef lite blade is the answer.
i got a nexus 30 from kiosho , it used to fly ok but then i stopped using it , now i try to fly it again and when i start it if i pull off the glow plug it shuts off right away , does anybody now why?
Do you mean your glow driver? If removing the glow driver shuts off your engine immediately you most likely have a bad glow plug. To check it,
remove the glow plug and insert it into the glow driver. If it glows, it’s fine;
if it doesn’t, it’s dead and needs replacing. You should have several glow plugs in case of situations like this. Glow wrenches usually have spaces
to store them (since going electric I’ve eliminated that problem).
I only have a 50$ budget which is pretty cheap so plz provide something.

I have seen many RC Helicopters online and I have noticed some features such as brakes. How are the brakes used? Or is that just an automatic function of a rc heli? Also, I would like to know some local Helicopter stores like radio shack, because I really want to buy a Fly Eagle. Thanks.
I can’t answer for R/C birds, BUT…
A rotor brake on a real helicopter is a mechanical device that can be used to STOP the rotors, or permit the engines to be started and run-up without the rotors turning (it locks the rotors).
It would NOT be used in flight… stopping forward motion is done by bringing the cyclic back.
