First off,
let's define best remote control helicopter. If the thought of flying a helicopter
"in general" were intriguing, then a best remote control helicopter
would require "no experience" and "easy-to-fly".
If it is the
challenge of flying a Remote Control helicopter that is intriguing,best remote
control helicopter would require "no
experience" but not so "easy-to-fly". The "no
experience" and "easy-to-fly" remote control helicopter falls
under the category of a "coaxial helicopter".
These
helicopters have 2 counter-rotating blades that keep it very stable while
flying; they are a mini helicopter and are meant to fly indoors. At hover, it
will do just that, fly in place. When learning to fly fixed-pitch heli's, think
about an inexpensive model with parts readily available.
Once you
master that, try with the helicopter facing you, now your left and right are
reversed from the helicopter, the helicopters left is on your right, and it
does get confusing unless you've had experience with something else, car, boat,
airplane.
When you
master those techniques, then fly a little higher off the ground, maybe eye
level. It shouldn't be much different, except flying close to the ground, you have
what is called ground effects from the blades creating different airflow and
easier for the heli to hover. The blades are so close to the ground, it is
actually helping you hover.
Buying Your First Remote
Controlled Helicopter
If you are
looking for a new hobby then flying a remote controlled helicopter might be
something you would like to try. A remote controlled helicopter (often called
RC helicopters) runs on regular batteries. They come with a controller/charger
that is used to fly the helicopter as well as charge its battery. The very
large ones often run on gasoline and can be flown for a longer period of time.
If you have
no experience you will want to start with a 4-channel model and make sure it is
advertised as Ready to Fly (RTF). They are easy to fly and will fly in all
directions. They have a bit of a learning curve but you will have lots of fun
learning.
Each remote controlled helicopter will be
different so it's important to read the instructions. After the batteries are
added take a moment to check the controls. Having some extra parts on hand is
also a good idea.
If you are
looking to get some support on how to fly a remote controlled helicopter you
might want to check with a local hobby store. As well they can direct you to
clubs and organizations that are dedicated to flying remote controlled
helicopters.
Flying
remote controlled helicopters can be exciting and fun. Once you feel competent
with your new machine, you can move onto more advanced models
