Icebrush79 4th Gear February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 Any fellows into RC helicopters here? I'm thinking of getting one to amuse gf and myself... but i've no experience flying one (ever).... Perhaps, any enthusiasts might wanna share their experience? Mainly, is it hard to fly for beginners ? Thanks in advance !! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 Reporting in. It is not easy to learn. Depends on ur hand-eye coordination ability, how soon you will be able to hover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ahh??? I won't become the serious hobbyist kind, due to the busy work schedule of both gf and I... probably just to have some fun and chuck it aside... There are some "beginners 3D helicopters" in the market, are these easy to handle?? You need a huge area to fly the heli I presume?? some ulu place with no trees (and low hanging branches) - good also... after flying heli can just up the lorry haha Thanks for your advise man!!!

Givechance 1st Gear February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 (edited) Extremely hard to me. I had a kyosho battery heli about 5 years back, could not even get it off the ground stablely. Bought all the expensive 6ch controllers, best motor and batteries, best gyro stability unit....also not helpful. In the end its in my storeroom, collecting dust. Last Christmas, bought a small toy helicopter $39.90.....the type with double propeller design......wow how technology had improved....the helicopter is IR controlled and charged via USB. The gyro makes the helicopter so stable and easy to fly. Now I am thinking, whether the kyosho gyro technology improved over the years or not. Thinking to dig out my old helicopter, get a new gyro stability unit.......but now working already...so no free time to meddle with any complicate toys anymore.

Yo, suggest you get the small toy chopper, the one that can fit in the palm of your hand, cheap and loads of fun, can play indoors for sure. My youngest son had one, still working, and when he comes back from the army, plays with it to disturb my cats by hanging a string on the bottom end of the chopper and flying it around the house, hover here and there, langa wall also no worries, won't spoil so easily. If I remember, paid only $35 or less for it. He later got a real RC chopper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 buy those toy one lor... den when advance liao go buy real one Buy toy one, u will not learn anything. It is meant to be a toy. Learning r/c heli is a very very very draining on ur wallet. Pain pain, get a proper 6ch, controllable pitch, flybarless helicopter. U will have proper control of the heli instead of the heli controlling u. Also learn to fly responsibly and not trying to fly a r/c heli over someone's head or near anyone.
