Electric - Early electric versions released are expensive but later models are more affordable. This makes them more popular than any type of rc helicopters in the market. It is easy to fly. It creates no noise and smell not like the gas type. It is powered by a rechargeable battery is suitable for beginners.
Mini - Also powered by battery, this type is similar to the electric type. In fact, it is hard to define if the electric model falls on the category of a mini. But to be safe about it, you can say that it is mini if you can fly it on your living room without imposing danger on your furniture.
A Mini remote control helicopter is fun to fly although controlling it on air might be a little complicated at first. But once you get the hang of it, maneuvers and landings are easy. It is also far more affordable than the two mentioned types of rc helicopter.
