Nitro Remote Control Helicopters For Maximum Enjoyment

Out of all the toys sold in toy stores today, nitro remote control helicopters have come to be number one. Children and adults as well die to experience the all new high quality and advanced performance of improved nitro helicopters. These toys that have been built for hobbyists and enthusiasts alike can be a bit more costly than the other types of choppers. But when compared to its price, there is much more that the nitro offers to people that are willing to take flying a bit more seriously. Since there are plenty of spare parts in the toy shops, most amends could be done by yourself if you have some knowledge about how an engine works.

These remote control helicopters come in two separate methods. The first is the self-assembly kit which comes in parts and you have to assemble it to make it fly. The other is readymade and is flyable right out of the box. These toys are many times faster and powerful compared to electric RC helicopters because they are powered by nitro fuel.

PRICE CHOPPER APPLICATION

It is best that you get some practice using electric remote control helicopters before buying one of these nitro models. You may do some serious damage to yourself as well as to others around you if you do not have the adequate knowledge and practice of flying the nitro RC helicopter. Flying one of these machines will also seem almost impossible if you do not have any prior experience of RC flying. That is why newbies are instructed to have some practice using the much less powerful electric toy before going for the powerful nitro RC.

Getting the excitement and the fun of operating one of the high speed-high flying most powerful toys on earth without any accidents occurring will be a definite thrill. The same fuel mixture you use for the operation of your lawnmower which is nitro and oil can be used on these engines as well. These toys come with powerful internal combustion engines that are fast, powerful and are especially suited for the brave at heart. These machines, when they are at their top performance will go at speeds of above 120 miles per hour and it will be very destructive if you do not have a very good handling practice.

Although you may be able to get a very good deal on one of these remote control helicopters, it is best that you go and compare its price with the prices in your area. There are many stores online that avail spare parts that you will find hard to get in the shops closest to you. There are also a wide range of these toys that you can choose from. They come in a wide range of prices also. Therefore you can choose the most suitable priced helicopter that matches your budget.

Since the engines of these nitro remote control helicopters come in various capacities, you should consider that too at the time of purchase. The larger its engine capacity is, the faster it will go. Therefore if you are a newcomer to the world of nitro you should consider buying one with a smaller engine capacity. Precautions to ensure safety should be taken at all times when playing with these powerful machines thereby avoiding any dangers that could happen.

What Makes The Best Remote Control Helicopter?

What is the best remote control helicopter?

chopper bicycle

I've been very interested lately in a lot of different models of RC helicopter and as I've been doing my research trying to decide which one to buy next, I've come to realize just how many different types of RC choppers there are!

CHOPPER

The first thing you need to decide is whether or not you want to buy an indoor chopper or an outdoor chopper. Now, an indoor chopper is strictly indoors and these can usually be had for around -40 dollars. Outdoor choppers will run you more money but they are usually larger and have better performance over all.

Keep in mind that with some outdoor choppers you won't be able to fly them inside at all. They are simply too big and require too much room to maneuver to make flying them in a typical room unpractical. There are however some models that sort of blur the line between indoor and outdoor like the Madhawk 300 which is big enough to perform outside (as long as it's not TOO windy) but small enough that you can practice indoors. Once you decide on an indoor or outdoor model than you consider these types before making a purchase:

Double Co-Axial Choppers

These are your basic indoor "toy" helicopters. They are easy to fly, easy to maintain and will generally provide a great deal of fun while cruising around your apartment. They aren't suited for outdoors as the slightest breeze will take them high into the air or smash them into the ground (usually causing a lot of damage!). They make a great conversation piece for your office and are perfect for wasting a bit of time!

Single Co-Axial Choppers

Basically the same as the above except some of these are large enough to fly outdoors. They are stable enough that pretty much anyone can get them to hover and move forward without much effort. Again these are beginner choppers.

Micro RC Choppers

These are the ones that you're probably most used to seeing these days. Normally they will fit in the palm of your hand and although the basic gear underneath is usually the same, they come in a variety of styles including Military and Commercial air craft. When they first appeared on the scene these choppers were really nothing more than cool looking toys that did not fly very well but with recent advancements in the technology these choppers are VERY flyable and are perfect for beginner-intermediate users looking for an easy to fly chopper to hone their skills on.

4 and 6 Channel Choppers

These are the more advanced choppers for people who are into modding and upgrading. Probably not a good first-time chopper as they are more expensive and more prone to damage in the event of a crash (and trust me, you will crash them!).

2.4 GHz Remote Systems

These days you should always try and go with a 2.4 GHz remote system. This refers to the frequency that the choppers controls operate on and 2.4 takes up less current than the older systems. Meaning you get more flying time for each charge and in the world of RC Helicopters, flying time is what it's all about!

The Best Chopper?

Well as you can see, it really depends on your level of skill and where you want to use it. But, from personal experience I would recommend: The Syma S107 for an Indoor Chopper and the Madhawk 300 for an indoor/outdoor chopper. Both are priced very reasonably and offer great quality for the money. Please check out my link below for more detailed reviews on both of those choppers as well as other great reviews on all sorts of RC helicopters and replacement parts!

Cheers!

Flying Remote Control Choppers - The Pastime That Demands the Mastery of a Real Chopper Pilot

Mini RC helicopters are an important hobby for many people. These miniature helicopters have the functionality of a regular sized helicopter and provide a lot of excitement to fans of the sport as their pilots take their mini choppers into the air and perform many maneuvers.

chopper

There are numerous types of Mini RC choppers but the most ubiquitous models are the Exceed G2 (Version 2) and OS 91 for F3C Competition. The Exceed boasts a 400 Class brushless electric 6-Channel ready to fly chopper. It takes minutes to set up and comes with a high quality FM radio system. It has an advanced pitch controller to let you fly in any direction - even inverted. The OS 91 has 91HZ F3C Competition Helicopter Engine and is purpose built for competition flying. This is a high power chopper with enhanced stability.

CHOPPER

There are basically two ways to get into Miniature Remote controlled helicopters. You can select the entire unit from your local shop (these are known as 'RTF' or 'ready to fly' models) or buy the components and assemble one for yourself. If you choose to assemble the complete chopper yourself, you will need to acquaint yourself with how the chopper goes together. They are no different from a full sized chopper. The manual that comes with the parts will provide much of this information but you should also have a exhaustive understanding of the mechanics. If you choose to set up your own chopper, you will need to make certain that all of the parts are correctly fitted prior to take off.

Learning to fly a remote control helicopter is easy. With a few hours of practice, you will be off to some great flying. The two most critical maneuvers are take off and hover. Once you master these two techniques, everything else should come easy. Again, these are the maneuvers that you'll be doing most. If you want to get some flying experience without risking your own chopper, you can use a helicopter simulator to learn the basics. A PC simulator will also show you how to execute all of the maneuvers that the chopper will allow you to accomplish. Again, there is no risk.

You should know that the skills for flying Miniature Remote controlled choppers and maintaining them in the air are the same as those required by a regular helicopter pilot would so there are some precautions to take when flying these little beasts. The blades of the machine can rotate at up to 1300 rpm, meaning that they have the potential to sever a toe or other part of the body. They can rip clothing that comes within its path. You will need to gain competency with the machine before you conduct your first flight in front of bystanders, otherwise you may cause serious bodily harm to them.

Also, remember that Mini RC helicopters use radios. In some jurisdictions you'll have to notify the FCC about your intended use, although today this is rare.

Always keep the Mini Remote controlled helicopter away from you. Many experts suggest that you maintain about thirty feet distance when flying your helicopter. You will find this measure practical in the event that the helicopter crashes onto the ground.

As a beginner there are many Mini Remote controlled chopper clubs that you can become a member of. Here you'll meet experts who can offer you tips on how to improve your skills.
