subject: Selection Of A Scale Rc Helicopters [print this page] Remote control helicopters are built to perform and look a lot like a genuine helicopter. RC helicopters aren't the same as RC planes and change in a number of ways. RC helicopters come in several different sizes, colors, speeds, and costs. They also alter mechanically from one to another.
A scale RC helicopter can be acquired in 2 other ways. They can be bought assembled and ready to be used or unassembled. The unassembled copters are preferred by beginner users and collectors of scale RC helicopters.
RC helicopters vary in size and can be either miniscule or very big. Smaller RC helicopters are excellent for newbs and are typically what is in toy stores. Smaller RC helicopters are more easy to fly and sometimes less expensive than bigger ones.
The more small the helicopters the simpler to fix and the cheaper the parts are. As price rises the standard of the product increases and the more similar it becomes to a genuine helicopter not only in appearance but by performance also. Another factor affecting price is the size. The bigger the helicopter is the dearer it is, the more power it has and more experience is wanted to maneuver it.
There are 2 different ways in which a RC helicopters can be powered. These 2 are either by electricity or by gas. Electrical powered choppers have a tendency to be more cost effective and better to work. Gas powered RC 'helicopters are more like a genuine helicopter but are trickier to correct and maintain.
Learning to employ a scale RC helicopter needs more talent then flying an RC plane. RC air planes don't need the same maneuvering systems because they don't have the same range of capabilities of a RC helicopters.
Controlling an RC helicopter needs many different activities that differ from controlling a RC aeroplane. Ardent collectors of RC 'copters sometimes look for copters that operate and look like a genuine ones. The more hobby-grade the chopper is the bigger the cost more and the more capacities it has. They can reach speeds as quick as 80mph and can go as high as 12000 feet.
