Buying and fly mini rc helicopters has become a lot more affordable in recent years thanks to the advances in radio control technology that have allowed much smaller and cheaper servos, receivers, battery packs and motors to be produced.
Flying mini rc helicopters is great fun, particularly in the home, but remember that the learning curve can still be steep for a multi-channel model if you've never had any experience with one before.
Because of this, flying it outdoors in an open area and on a wind-free day is a much better option when you're learning.
If you have a friend who already flies rc helicopters then some lessons are a very good idea, but don't worry if you don't know anyone who can show you the ropes.
Mini rc helicopters like the RotoFly EX or Pegasus are very 'flyer-friendly' and have been designed with the beginner in mind. |
