Introduction

  Welcome to the RC heli section !

This section is for beginners who start in this hobby.
Here are presented my RC helis, required tools and equipment to start, and settings methods. Moreover there are PowerPoint and video about RC heli mechanism.

Start off flying RC heli

   It is now possible to start off flying fixed pitch (FP) helicopter, or a coaxial one, before to go with collective pitch (CP) helis. Coaxial and FP helis are very stable when flying, then they are easier to fly for beginners. A quadricopter (drone) is a great choice too: it is very stable and it flies like RC helicopter.
CP helis have a more complex mechanism and can perform advanced aerobatics. Contrary to preconceived ideas, starting with a big model is easier than starting with a small electric model. In fact small models are lighter and very responsive, but big models are heavier and more stable. This is especially so for CP helicopters.
The use of an RC flight simulator is highly recommended as a serious training aid. This is especially important for helicopters which are models more difficult to fly than aircrafts.
