Go to Wal-Mart or K-Mart and look for the Air Hog helicopters. They have a very large selection to choose from. From beginner to advanced, Indoor to outdoor, and they also have some that are more like planes than helicopters as well. They range from $20 to $90.

Walmart. they got one for $60 bucks that goes in all directions. The cheaper ones have no steering power.

I am looking to buy some stable indoor helicopters for Christmas gifts (for upwards of 6 people). I believe they say that 6-way control is the best for control and stability in an indoor remote controlled helicopter, no? I may be wrong, but too many times have I seen Remote Controlled Helicopters that are near uncontrollable and fly all over the place. Too many in my family could have fun with ones that are actually stable!

I am looking to buy this for kids within the family, so let me know (they’re all old enough to use whatever you can find) if you have any intel on what is out there!

Anyone?
For anyone kind enough to help, I’ll show you the one I’ve found to be the best candidate so far…but it’s unavailable everywhere I’ve checked (and that includes a lot of places)!

there is a helicopter at the Milford mall in Connecticut that is a remote control

A good but cheap Remote Controlled Helicopters for beginners?

I also bought one but before but the flight time was 2 minutes, so could the helicopter have long flight time, like 10-30 minutes?

Hah I have seen questions like this so many occasions here - maybe individuals should understand the answers by this time.

I am wanting to buy my husband a remote control helicopter for his birthday. He has been talking about them lately and i want to surprise him with one. Problem is, i have NO idea where to start, what to get, where to go, what is a good price, brand, etc

Can anyone help me out?

Believe it or not but Hobby Lobby carries them. Also, see if there is a Hobby Store in your neck of the woods, they could supply you with one to one info, then again, you may luck out and find a knowledgeable person in that area at Hobby Lobby. Also, check with your local County Office, to see if there is any Model Helicopter Clubs in your area, now those would be the primo people to talk to about Model Helicopters. Good Luck and he’s lucky he has someone who listens.

I’m looking to buy a remote controlled helicopter for a young boy. How old do you have to be to control one of these?? He’s 10.

Sounds plenty old enought. Airhogs makes so pretty cool rc heli’s, they are also easy to control. They use a duel propeler type technology to make it easy to control and durable

My boyfriend wants a remote control helicopter for Christmas. He really liked the one we saw being demonstrated in Selfridge’s last week. The only problem is I can’t remember what it was called. Does anybody know which one it may have been? It was quite small, was capable of hovering, and was priced at 29.99. Otherwise what other remote control helicopters might he like?

Hi the one that you’ve probably seen is the Picco Z which is distrubuted by Flying Toys / Silverlit in the UK.

These are great fun and basically fly themselves and you can often see them for sale in Tesco’s for about £20.00.

There’s another few options available too, dependant upon what you’re willing to spend (and beware, you can spend over £1000 very easily on a ‘proper’ radio controlled helicopter) the E-Flite Blade MCX is an excellent little model.

The MCX flies like a very tame real RC helicopter and can be repaired and upgraded and are likely to cost around £100 dependant upon where you get it from.

Either way - the Picco Z Helicopters are great fun and don’t require any training or skills to operate, it can take months of dedication and practice to learn how to fly a proper RC helicopter so the Picco Z is probably a good place to start and then if he really likes it get on to a search engine or forum like www.rcheliaddict.co.uk
