5 Types of Remote Control Helicopters

If you are thinking of what particular remote control helicopter to buy, then this article should help.

Here are the different types:

Gas - If you are thinking of flying a helicopter that somehow close to flying a real helicopter, then the gas helicopter is for you. Made with an engine and powered by gas, this helicopter is the most advanced model to buy. It does not come cheap with engine and more complicated moving parts, they are for more advanced rc pilot.


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.

Micro - If you have seen micro rc car, micro rc boat, and micro rc plane, then you should not be surprised if you see micro one. This tiny piece of aircraft can stretch up to 8 inches. But, you cannot consider it a toy. It has standard features similar to that of a standard model. It is so tiny that makes it look so delicate but in face, materials used such as titanium and carbon is strong.

Toy - If you want an affordable remote control helicopter, then this one is for you. Only remember that to fly this type of remote control helicopter requires a lot of practice.
