How Do We Choose the Best Helicopter?
Nowadays, a large number of people are turning in and showing an interest in the RC helicopter flying like never before. Hence, it is challenge for most of them, as they are unable to distinguish between right and wrong. This job of choosing the right model has turned even more difficult with lots of junk in this category.
Once again, we see people come in with dilemma as whether choose an inexpensive helicopter with fixed pitch, so that they can learn on it. New advanced helicopter can be purchased once we out grow the old once. The second thought is if we will have to buy a quality helicopter with better pitch and we can grow with the fun of learning.
Considering all the odds, it is better if we can buy the quality helicopter with better pitch even if we are a newbie to the “heliflying “hobby. The reason is simple- We will not out grow the quality in collective pitch within a span of few weeks. In addition, we can save time and money.
The helicopter-flying hobby is quite expensive. Hence, we should decide on choosing to buy the best. Opting the best does not mean we should go for extravagant looking copters or rather cheap ones. These kinds of copters are of no worth in terms of functionalities or fun. People who have been through this have cried fowl and been through frustration as they invested their money in this poor quality flashy looking eye candy.
All we have to check is a better flight performance rather than its looks. For this, it is advisable to go for the Single Rotor. This is a collective pitch copter, which is best for anybody from a beginner to pro.
Cautions
¨ It is better if we stayed away from the single rotor collective pitch copter with rotors having electric tails. They are difficult to learn. Instead, we can go for either the belt driven or tail rotors driven by shaft with changeable pitch.
Conclusion
Three very best copters recommended for buys here.
¨ The first one is E-flite Blade mSR, which is a very small helicopter and is micro electric.
¨ The second is a X-Cell 40 helicopter which is manufactured by The Miniature Aircraft USA.
¨ The strongest growth we see nowadays is the single rotor in the 400 class electric. For this kind, the E-Flite’s Blade 400 is the best choice.
