Radio Controlled Helicopters

Have you ever heard of 6 channel remote control helicopters? If so, have you ever used one? It seems these are becoming quite a new pastime. They can be purchased at a local helicopter store or even an electronics store. These powerful helicopters may also be found at trade stores which can be used indoors and out.

These things are very flexible and any flyer will say these 6 channel remote control helicopters are most impressive in the helicopter technology.

What does the 6 channel do? It allows you to control the multiple parts in the copter’s flight patterns. A person can make the helicopter fly side to side, up and down and forward and backward. Some models will tumble circles in the air.

It is not a surprise that these helicopters are much pricier and look more “lifelike” than those that fly straight. People know that helicopters are not flown by a remote but rather people. They also know there are many more buttons on a real helicopter but this one remote controlled helicopter has six channels. It is attempting to reach the actual number seen in a real one although that would be a feat. This helicopter is indeed impressive.

Even with controls over the various flight patterns, people can customize the blade types, the helicopter’s body and have a custom paint job as well done to it.

However, the more you customized your helicopter, the more money you will have to shell out to get it done. Yet, it is a true pleasure to have an original, one of a kind 6 channel remote control helicopter. This is especially true of helicopter fanatics that love to design and create. Sometimes the spirit of collection outweighs what one would actually pay for it.

As bad luck would have it, one man, who is a helicopter flyer enthusiast, recently had a bad incident with his 6 channel remote control helicopter. He had left his 6 channel helicopter out one day, alone and some young school-aged children found it. They took it to the park and carried on byhaving a very good time with it.

The catch of it… those kids are played with it so much but hadn’t taken good care of it. It came back to its original owner in a much harsher condition than it was before it was stolen. The helicopter’s owner figured all the bumps, dents, scratches were always there and he just never noticed them.

When he took the helicopter back to the manufacturer for the warranty, he learned the awful truth. Not only that but the guilty party ended up feeling guilty themselves and told the man what they had done. They apologized and paid him back.

However, this experience left him with a bitter taste for these helicopters although the truth of it is… it’s not the helicopter’s fault. Maybe he will come around because it really was just one bad occurrenc that should not have happened.

These 6 channel Remote Controlled Helicopters are one of the best and controllable helicopters being sold in the world today. No other model helicopter is catching up like a real helicopter.

Does the small helicopter in the new battlefield only have the laser (rocket) attack? I thought I noticed a couple times that it was using other attacks but havent been able to do so myself. Wasn’t sure if you had to be close or maybe I was just seeing things or it was only on certain maps? Not sure.

The Small Helicopter is a UAV and it only shoots a single guided missiles (rockets) about every 15 secs? The other weapon i think you may be seeing is the machine gun when you use "Alt Wep" to your Vehicle specialization slot.

If you have the limited edition game you get the "Alt wep" Specialization when you begin the game. If you don’t you need to level your vehicle class to the max and get it.

Note: The Machine gun does run out of ammo and the UAV is most of the time located near the attackers base, look for a small white box with a V in it.

It is imperative when looking at the difference between gas and nitro powered remote control helicopters that you really check them out before committing to one kind.

It must be said that gas powered helicopters are more labor intensive; yet they are rewarding. Both types of helicopters can really showcase their agility levels as well as their flying capabilities - higher and fastest.

With you use gas powered or nitro powered remote control helicopters, fun is bound to be had. Fuel replacement is necessary when they run out. When you set up the helicopters for their flight, be careful to avoid starting a fire, so you can enjoy all your helicopter has to offer.

There was once a helicopter shopper who had a gas or nitro powered remote control purchase in their hands. They had decided that using either one of these was much more fun than using an electric helicopter. Why was this? They found that the remote control did not respond near as well.

It is not known if this customer just felt the way they did about electric helicopters because they found gas or nitro powered remote controls responded better due to this one particular failure or if there was a universal issue with all electric remote controls.

However, when fliers come together and talk about which remote controlled helicopters do better, respond better and get a height range better, most say the gas or nitro powered remote control helicopter do better. Why is this? Even though these gas and nitro powered helicopters are more work than others, their flying abilities remain unparallel to others.

Suppose you are aiming to get into the Guiness Book of World Records for making your helicopter fly backwards further than anyone else who in the world. It has been said that the gas helicopters last much longer than the battery charge in the electric run helicopters. The fuel in the gas and nitro powered helicopters will last longer than the battery of an electric remote controlled helicopter.

Even though the gas and nitro powered Remote Controlled Helicopters work much better than the others, you pay for what you get. Not only are they expensive in their costs, it costs to fill it back up whenever the gas runs out. Don’t forget you will also have to clean the apparatus of the helicopters.

However, the rewards of being challenged are worth the money you will be shelling out in the long run. Be sure that where you buy your gas powered or nitro powered helicopter that your buying from a reputable independent or commercial dealer.

If you are looking into buying a helicopter, research the prices in your area and the surrounding areas so you know for sure that you are getting the best deal available for the money you put down.

Sometimes, it can be annoying not to mention frustrating buying your first gas or nitro powered remote control helicopter and paying more than your neighbor who has a similar product but bought it at a much cheaper price and are happier because they actually had money left over.

The choice is really left up to you… but between electric and gas powered helicopters, hands down helicopters operated on gas seem to work much better.

How far away can you be and still control one of them? I am talking about better models, not cheaper toys… Like this baby: http://www.helihobby.com/html/t_rex_600_heli.html

- DSM Radios with FHSS can control from nearly 1,000 feet away.
- DSM Radios with DSSS can only control from about 300 feet away.
+ DSM Radios with FHSS are more likely to stall-out for a few milliseconds because of how they constantly are adapting with frequencies.
+ DSM Radios with DSSS are very silky and smooth with precision. Only signal strength will be your enemy when it comes to who can fly the farthest.
Have fun!

I need one that flies at a good distance and steers well… doesn’t have to be like: http://www.helihobby.com/html/t_rex_600_heli.html but it has to be at a lower price(around 100$ or something)…

A decent electric heli - about $150/$250 - 3D for about $400

A decent gas heli - about $1500

Stay away from the birds without tail rotors, the coaxial helis, they fly like crap. I would recommend this for a newbie

http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH3000

If this is your first bird, the first thing you need to learn is hovering. Learn to hover with the tail pointed at you. Don’t get it higher than your belt while learning to hover in place. If you start to lose control, land it, take off, and try again. Once you’ve spent about a week non-stop learning hovering, then learn forward, backward, stopping, side to side, and spinning with the rudder. Spend about a week doing that. Once you get that down, then start doing figure 8’s. This time fly if well above your head so you can correct the mistakes. Spend about another week straight learning this. Then, once you’ve mastered the basics, keep on practicing. Later, look into buying a 3-D helicopter so you can learn inverted tricks. Don’t buy a 3-D bird at first because you wont be able to control it for 3-D flight so you don’t want to waste your money if you crash it beyond repairs. Make sure you learn the parts of the helicopter too, because you will have to replace parts eventually. Buy 2 extra battery packs too if you’re going to go electrics. This way you can fly non-stop. One battery is charging, one battery is charged, and one battery is the one you’re playing with at all times. I cant stress it enough, learn to fly a cheaper heli before crashing an expensive one.

Good luck

OK so i wanna buy a small remote controlled helicopter just to have and mess around with. where can i buy one and i don’t wanna link to some place where it comes in the mail i just wanna go to a store and buy it take it home and fly it where can i get one like maybe a radio shack? please give other stores thanks!

Believe it or not, WalMart sells them. I don’t know how big you are wanting, but the ones I’ve seen there are pretty small… and pricey. Expect to pay around $30 for a decent one. Hope this helps…

My partner is keen to build and fly one but the only ones I’ve seen are already constructed. Anyone know of a UK website where I could buy one?

Not sure… However note that these things aint for kids… The word flying high speed blade over a meter accross comes to mind. Or bladed remote control missile as they are big.

So he will need lessons or thats £400 down the drain on impact or someone torn to bits.

There are some magazines. Go look in WHSmiths. If in London there was a shop between Camden station and regents park. Heading up hill.

You are also looking at £200 ish at least for anything good.
