Indoor and Outdoor Flying RC Helicopters

Remote Controlled Helicopters
RC helicopters nearby the eventual challenge. Not like RC planes, these scale model machines have a range of maneuverability that presents some unique challenges for beginners and experienced RC pilots alike. From learning the beginning maneuvers to adding a repertoire of advanced techniques, the RC helicopter will keep hobbyists coming back for more.
The beginning hobbyist would do well to start with an inexpensive RTF (Ready-to-Fly) helicopter for the inevitable crashes that will occur while learning to fly a scale model helicopter. After learning the basics, which could take weeks or months of practice, then hobbyists can consider advancing onto more technical models including custom built models.
Expenses of in service RC Helicopters
RC Helicopters are fun, addictive, and costly. Newcomers to the hobby can start off with a beginner model for around $70-$100, but make no mistake about it, this is a hobby that can get expensive fast. Hobbyists need to think about cost of upkeep and repair on equipment and also the cost of fuel for gas and nitro fueled models. Higher end RC helicopters are built better, last longer, and can run into thousands of dollars.
Indoor and Outdoor Flying RC Helicopters
For indoor flying a small Electric RC Helicopters are a must. Gas powered RC copters produce quite a bit of smoke and noise and should only be used outdoors. For indoor flying, smaller is better; mini and micro copters are perfect for indoor flying, even though larger RC helicopters provide better control and maneuverability. Outdoor RC flying opens the door for larger models, gas or nitro powered engines, and stunt flying.
As for indoor flying, beginners should perfect their skills outside and away from expensive equipment like flat screen televisions and aquariums. Ceiling fans are another unassuming obstacle to watch out for when flying indoors. Know the basics before flying indoors.
