There are actually many different types of radio controlled helicopter and each of the have their own perks and drawbacks. If you are very serious about buying a chopper then you need to know which type to buy? You have to sit down and build the thing from scratch and then learn how to fly it, its not as easy as you might think. Not to mention that the best ones are quite expensive. So here is a bit of help when it comes to choosing one.
Gas
Many people consider this type of helicopter to be dying out simply because people are just not buying them anymore. There do seem to be two reasons for this. These are by far the most pricey out there and this is something you need to think about especially if it is your first buy. One of the other reasons is that they are a bit difficult to fly. Without actually being sat down and shown what eveything is it can be hard to fly these things.
Nitro
Nitro is the very next on the list and this is difficult to choose as well. The reason this time isn’t because of the price, although they are still expensive it comes from which to choose? For anyone who has just started the hobby the thing that can be tricky is all of the sizes that are available. The average flight time is 7-14 minutes with these which is pretty good but this still isn’t the one I would recommend.
Electric
This is now the most commonly used RC aircraft and this is down to the fact is it is the cheapest and easiest to pick up for novices. One of the main points about this one that you need to take into consideration is that you will not get as much flight time.
If you arent that interested in choppers why not look into Airfix cars.
