Radio-controlled Helicopters

The hit of hidden and obvious desires of men of all ages in recent years radio-controlled helicopter. What is the reason for the success of this toy among children and adults? First of all, the combination of innovative technology with the ease of control. The ability to remotely control the flight of an elegant model, as close to the prototype – the real embodiment of childhood dreams of every adult who still has a child in him. Children as a helicopter on the remote control leads to an indescribable delight.

Modern market radio-controlled models filled with a variety of options: radio-controlled helicopters differ significantly in price and technical parameters: size, type and engine power, complexity of controls, design features and other characteristics. This allows you to choose exactly the model that suits you best.

All radio-controlled models of helicopters are divided into the following groups:

• Mini helicopters miniature budget radio-controlled helicopters, which can be launched both at home and outdoors;
• Helicopters for beginners radio-controlled models of the medium price category with simple enough to cope with a child can easily;
• Helicopters for 3D pilotage innovative helicopter models, capable of moving along complex paths;
• Multi-rotor quadcopters (quadcopters), six- and eight-rotor flying models are not just toys, but multifunctional radio-controlled devices, capable of carrying cargo and shooting video.

Mini helicopters

Mini helicopters are versatile lightweight helicopters that can be launched in the house, apartment or outdoors. The limitation for launching them in the street is the presence of wind, in windy weather is better not to risk it. Miniature radio helicopter control a great gift for a child, he is safe and easy to manage. Mini helicopters are controlled via an infrared port that limits the control radius of 10 meters. Simple two-channel mini-models can move vertically up / down and horizontally forward / backward. More complex models (three-channel) can also move left/right. Mini helicopters are sold fully assembled and ready to work.

Helicopters for beginners

Medium-sized remote-controlled helicopters also belong to the medium price category. They usually have not too complicated three- and four-channel control system. The number of channels determines the movement in different planes, as well as additional functions, such as “gas”. The flight radius of such helicopters is about 100 m. They can be launched at any time of year, but preference should still be given to dry windless weather. Durable and stable radio-controlled helicopters for beginners will allow each beginner to feel like an experienced pilot.

Helicopters for 3D piloting

Any model of helicopter for the highest 3D piloting has at least 6-channel control. Such helicopters are larger and more technically advanced. They are able to make quite maneuverable movements in flight, but their control is very sensitive to any action of the pilot, so to cope with them a beginner will be problematic. Such a helicopter can no longer be classified as a toy is a serious high-tech multi-functional unit, requiring a certain skill piloting.

Multi-copters

Multi-copters are special radio models of helicopters equipped with four (quadcopters), six (hexacopters) or eight (octocopters) propellers, which makes them stable in flight, reliable and comfortable. Multicopters exist in a variety of functional variations from unpretentious children’s toys to serious equipment, designed for aerial photography and transportation of small loads. Stable flight characteristics are provided by a large number of propellers, the more it is considerable, the more reliable and controllable model.

Helicopter models for different purposes, ages and skill levels can become not only a favorite pastime, but also serve professional purposes.

Radio-controlled helicopter toy is suitable not only for children but also for adults. The line when a simple toy becomes a serious hobby is quite blurred. After all, at first the child just wants to play, and then begins to take a serious interest. Any professional modeler can say that the hobby started with a simple model. And in the process of learning wanted to learn new and different things.

The radio-controlled helicopter runs on a built-in battery. It is convenient and practical, in fact at any moment it is ready to fly.

Selection Criteria:

• Ability to operate outdoors;
• Option for home use with a small range of action;
• The presence of a built-in gyroscope to control the horizontal position of the body;
• Multi-channel model to perform complex tasks;
• Durability for novice pilots.

Models for children are equipped with a remote control, which is used to conduct the flight. Most models have a fairly large signal range.

Types of helicopters:

• Variants with a gyroscope have excellent stability in flight. The gyroscope corrects the speed and rpm of the propellers. Thus the helicopter does not rotate in the wind;
• With a video camera. radio-controlled helicopter video shooting allows you to shoot beautiful views during the flight. Popular in tourism and advertising;
• 3D models allow you to create unique pirouettes. Suitable for extreme people, as well as for participation in various competitions.
