what is the difference between a 2, 3, and 4-channel radio control helicopter?
please help
More channels means more functions. A 2-channel RC helicopter is going to be a child’s toy. It will do basic up/down and forward/back movements without much acrobatic ability. The additional channels will add abilities such as pitch and yaw, the ability to hover, pivoting using the tail rotor, and so on. Of course, more functions means that it is harder to fly; you have to actively control all those inputs just as if you were flying a full-scale helicopter.
If you are new to the hobby, you should start simple to learn the basics of helicopter control (it is an art) and to decide if it is really for you, as an advanced helicopter can be pretty pricey compared to other RC vehicles.

The helicopter and control have switchable channels. This avoids interference with other radio controlled devices in the area. It wouldn’t do you much good to try to fly your helicopter on one channel when someone else nearby is using the same channel. Hence, you can switch it and use a different channel.
