RC Helicopter Online Guide

Cheap mini electric rc helicopters can be flown indoors and outdoors, while fast gas powered radio control helicopters need to be flown outdoors. 

Mini Electric Powered RC Helicopters

These are best for beginners. The electric motor design is less complicated and easy to set up. There are very simple electric rc helicopters that cost less than $60. Great if you just want to try out the hobby.  However, we would recommend you start of with "real" electric Ready to Fly powered remote control helicopters.  At less than $250, these remote controlled helicopters are a bargain!  Note: Ready to fly or RTF means that the kit comes with radio, battery, and charger. These models or kits come already assembled.

Indoor Remote Control Helicopters

These micro rc helicopters are small enough to play indoor or your backyard. Simple design makes it easy even for beginners.  Electric motors make operation easy and quiet, perfect if you have neighbors.  Imagine flying one in your living room. Better yet, since rc helicopters are cheap, buy two and double the fun!

Gas Powered Radio Control Helicopters

These fast radio controlled helis use small model gas engines, and are design for more advance and experienced modelers.  Because of the cost and technical complexity, we do not recommend gas rc helicopters for beginners. These are very advanced models that are better suited for experienced fliers.

A flight simulator program is highly recommended.
