What little boy (or big boy, for that matter), doesn’t love an RC helicopter? An RC or radio controlled helicopter puts fast flying action in your fingertips so that you can pilot a helicopter outside your home for hours of wholesome fun. Much like radio controlled cars that are so popular among males during their youth, the radio controlled helicopter takes play to a whole new level. Other than actual children, many adults are actually hobbyists and like to build and construct their helicopters themselves. There are even competitions where these RC toys are raced against each other in an aerial spectacle.

There is any number of choices to be made when you decide to buy a helicopter.  One of the biggest and most important is the decision on how many channels your model is going to have.  It is possible to buy machines with 2, 3, 4 or 6 channels although for the smaller or younger child 2 or 3 is deemed appropriate.  Also if you are only flying indoors then 2 or 3 is sufficient.  The person who is starting out on flying as a hobby can perhaps consider a 4 channel model.  This will enable them to fly like real helicopter and these helicopters will usually contain a flight simulation programme to be loaded on to your personal computer.  This enables you to practice as much as you want without taking the actual helicopter out of the box.  You are just flying on the simulator and simulating flight accordingly.  Any crashes that happen can just be wiped out and you simply start again.  This is much cheaper than a real crash and is ideal for you to gain extra confidence before the real flying starts or continues.   It is possible to buy a machine that contains a miniature digital camcorder type addition and this will enable you to film as you fly.

The real humdinger of a model for the experienced flyer only is the 6 channel RC helicopter.  This beauty can perform manoeuvres in 3 dimensional flying upside down and other moves. This is though as mentioned for those who have had smaller choppers and are now increasing their capacity due to their increased experience.

The 2, 3 and 4 channel models are far simpler o fix and less costly to do so. Any crash with a 6 channel one can prove expensive thus the need for more experience.

Having decided to purchase you would be advised to shop through the Internet purely because they have the best deals and with less inventory and overheads they can give you better prices compared with the standard High Street emporia.

Even though Nitrotek are a top retailer for Nitro RC Cars, they have a brilliant range of RC Helicopters including this Apache X Helicopter which is on sale within May with 50% off its retail price.

When you visit the page by clicking the image above, you can see the video they have included of this RC Model flying around the room. As with Remote control nitro cars, the rc helicopter can take a little while to get the hang of depending on the model you are flying. With the Apache though, flying this helicopter is very easy.

There are many RC Helicopters that are classed as toys but this should not be one of them due to its high spec and very fast rotating blades. This helicopter goes in any direction you tell it to with specs as follows.

Rotor Diameter – 26cm

Length – 30mm

Weight – 80g

Flight Time – 8-12 minutes

All in all a great RC Model for Birthday or Christmas

The RC Car ranges available at the moment are very very fast so can easily get in the way of a normal car on the road so make sure when playing, children are aware to keep an eye out as kids can easily run out between cars and not be seen. If they are picking their RC Model up off the road, to look both ways before bending down and to get out of the road as soon as possible.

As for the RC Car itself, make sure the toy car does not stray into the main road to much as it can easily be squashed by passing cars. The last thing you want is to have to return to the retailer you purchased your nitro car from to buy spare parts as wheels or a spoiler has fallen off. Adding to this, please be aware of other children and pets in the same area children are playing with remote control cars as they can easily be tripped over and cause an accident.

Either way, Nitro RC Cars and their cousins are for fun so make sure you do have fun but be careful to.
