Benefits of Remote Controlled Helicopters
These are some of the reasons why RC fans tend to select a remote control helicopter on a quadcopter.
1. The ability to respond. RC helis are usually faster to respond than quad copters because you only have to adjust one or two motors. Of course, with a quad copter, you need to reconfigure the angle of rotation and the speed of four. Hobby-grade helis are designed and built specifically for 3D flights, while not all quads are suitable for advanced acrobatics.
2. Flashy. A well piloted RC helicopter is a head spinner and can outshine most of the prettier quad copters. More maneuvers and tricks are available for a remote control heli than a quad copter. He lifts them one set of blades instead of four, which means he can cut much more, but they are not so stable.
3. Challenging. Some of us enjoy the challenge of taking the hard way. RC helicopters have fewer electronic controls than quad copters. That means that more of the navigation load is in the pilot and less is in the device itself. It will not be helped so much by the electronic controls that offer corrections to produce the correct results. In addition, a crash may mean that you need to make some important repairs, while quad copters generally resist a little better.

6 Tips for Flying Your RC Helicopter
Compared with the operation of other remote control devices, RC helicopters are a little harder to master. His ability to respond is also his disadvantage for novice travelers because a false step will send his new toy to earth. Fortunately, the best remote controlled helicopters are made to withstand some collisions. Here are some tips for your first flight.
1. Start with little. Instead of seeing how high your RC helicopter can get before losing radio contact, practice accuracy. Take it only two or three feet from the ground and inside, where there are no wind currents to compete with your control and practice landing on surfaces.
2. Familiarize yourself with the directional controls of your RC helicopter. In two-channel helicopters, it only controls the up / down movement and the left / right rotation. These helicopters can not float in place; they move forward by default. Three-channel helicopters put him in charge of the forward movement (and, sometimes, backward), so they can remain in place if set to zero (usually by not touching the control). Four-channel helicopters can also move sideways. The more channels, the more control you have over your device, but the more practice you need to do it right.
3. After a crash, check the condition of your helicopter before sending it back to the air to avoid losing parts.
4. For a maximum flight time, allow the battery to cool between flights. A hot battery does not charge as efficiently and can interrupt the fun after two or three minutes instead of the five to seven minutes that most RC helicopter batteries offer at their best. Consider buying an additional battery to use one while the other is charging.
5. Use small and subtle movements. Rapid changes in speed or direction can cause you to lose control.
6. To land, slowly lower the throttle so that your remote control helicopter descends gradually to the ground. If your helicopter gets out of control and the collision is imminent, stop the accelerator immediately. A rotating rotor that hits the ground is much more likely to break.
These tips should help you get the most out of your remote control helicopter.
