This is the worlds smallest helicopter from Micro-X. Not ideal for entry level, this mini helicopter is for people who have already had experience of model rc helicopters. Containing 4 channel’s and able to fly several hundred feet before it goes out of range. Ideal for gadget lovers, this little helicopter will give you fun any day of the year. Many cheaper helicopters go up and down and turn left or right. This RC Helicopter goes in any direction and moves the same as a real life helicopter including banking left and right and all sorts of impressive moves.

The electric helicopter runs from a rechargable high capacity lithium polymer battery pack which lets you have up to ten minutes flight time that comes with a UK Plug to charge it. This mini helicopter is of the highest quality and the actual box is attractive enough to be used as a gift box. The age recommended is 14 years old or above.

If you are looking for mini electric helicopters then this model from Model-X will do the job nicely as it is the worlds smallest 4 channel helicopter at just 175 in length. When it comes to mini electric helicopters, this has got to be the best with its palm sized specs and great for indoors fun.

These helicopters are becoming increasingly popular, it’s ideal for any gadget fan or just for anyone who wants fun with a indoor helicopter. The design and engineering which has gone into these is second to none and come with a 4 channel controller with a long range. Many two channel mini helicopters just go up down forwards and backwards but these can do all that plus rotate both left and right, bank left and right and with a range of a hundred meters or two so ideal if you are looking for something which is small but similar specs to full scale mini electric helicopters. All this is a helicopter which fits on the palm of your hand, a good rechargeable battery with a flight time of around seven to ten minutes and a United Kingdom Plug.

Additionally, this cute little helicopter comes in a box which looks great as a gift box so an ideal present this Christmas. Recommended for ages over 14 years of age.

When calibrating rc helicopters, the controller needs to be set properly otherwise it will not calibrate properly so the following settings need to be
set on the controller

1. the left stick needs to be all the way down
2. the left vertical trim needs to be all the way down
3. The rev switches, both the bottom front right on your controlled need to be down put to DOWN, UP, DOWN, UP in that order starting from the left and then the right
4. If you rc helicopter is a 6 inch model then the idle switch which is found on the top left of the controller is set to the off position

Once these settings have been put in place, then turn on the controller and then you should connect the battery to the rc helicopter. You should find a red light on the
Receiver will flash a couple of times before turning green

If you complete all these settings and the calibration is still not set, then complete the following checks

1. The rc helicopter battery is fully charged
2. The same for the controller batteries
3. The frequency plug is inserted into the receiver properly
4. The same for the controller
5. Both the frequency and receiver number matches both
6. All the buttons on the first section above are correct and not just set half way. You can check this by turning them in the opposite direction and then back again
7. The controllers Ariel has been fully extended

If after all these checks it still does not work, contact the supplier

your rc helicopter on a table and look at the tip end of the main blades, the chordline of the blade can be tilted through a range of angles by the servos.

In this sense, the rotor disk of a heli is a bit like a variable-pitch prop on an airplane. If your helicopter is hovering in the air, and you want to make it climb straight

up in the air, you just increase the pitch of the main blades and turn up the throttle which means the helicopter can overcome the drag which increases and the blades

keep turning at the same rotation speed before the throttle was increased and the helicopter will rise

Overall the more you increase the pitch of the blades, the more the lift given to the rc helicopter. At high throttle the engine puts out more power, but there is a corresponding increase in the load on the engine due to increased main rotor blade pitch, and so the engine stays at the same RPM’s.) The general increase in pitch means that the helicopter will climb and is called collective control.

On a 4 channel rc helicopter, the pitch angle of the blades is fixed in places but as we said above, the 6 channel helicopters blades can be changed in pitch.

The Apache Twin Blade RC Helicopter is a amazing looking helicopter and easy to fly. With many twin blade rc helicopters on the market, they are all well designed but none look as great as this apache helicopter. With a twin blade rc helicopter, anyone can fly then with just a little practise and an ideal way to start a hobby with rc helicopters. With this great apache, you can have so much fun and thrills without having to practise for hours.

This helicopter is not to be confused with toy helicopters as this great machine has full 3D control. You will find there are very similar two channel versions on the UK market but have a limited amount on control but this four channel version is much better as you can go up, down, rotate left and right, bank left and right and go forward and back.

This apache rc helicopter comes with everything you need to get going apart from 8 x AA batteries for the rc controller.

This Apache rc helicopter is easy to fly and looks amazing. This model comes with twin blades as do other models on the market but none look as good as this rc helicopter. Anyone can fly a twin blade rc helicopter so ideal for people with no experience, beginners and at the end of the day, just for fun. No more need for hours of practise, just start it up and away you go.

Please do not confuse this with toy helicopters though as this has fully functional 3D controls. You will find on the market, a similar two channel apache rc helicopter but does not let you have as much control over the machine as this one. This is better as it contains 4 channels so allows you to move it up, down, left, right, bank left and right as well as forwards and backwards.

All you need to get going are 8 AA batteries, it comes with everything else.
