As a new pilot, your first electric rc helicopter choice is an important one. A good indoor rc heli can give you a great deal of amusement and is the ideal starter remote control helicopter. They are fast, quiet, inexpensive to buy and to run, and above all FUN! Not too mention cheaper then gas rc helicopters.
When you are a beginner, an electric rc helicopter that is not too powerful and does not have too many gadgets and gizmos, is simpler to control and will help with learning how to control the flight. A more basic model that is easier to fly is a good starting point. You may be used to driving rc cars or other land vehicles, but helicopters take this to a whole other dimension so new skills are required.
Here are three models of mini Gyro rc helicopters that are very popular today:
Electric RC Helicopter:
Syma S107/S107G
There are a number of popular Syma rc helicopters. This one is one of their latest models and is a mini version, being one of the smallest and lightest helis you can get. Although small, the new gyroscope technology used with this model, means that you have great control. The controller uses AA batteries and the mini Gyro helicopter will charge either from the controller or directly from the USB cable. The Gyro is a very stable little helicopter which makes it suitable for a beginner, and is very reasonably priced.
Viefly V268 3 Channel RC Military Gyro Mini Indoor Helicopter
This rc helicopter V268 is super responsive with its three channel control system. The 3 channel system is an improvement on the 2 channel helis as it provides additional control, making it easy to fly up, down, left and right as well as backwards and forwards with little effort. This is an easily controlled, durable little helicopter with features that you would expect from more expensive models even though it can be found for a bargain price.
Mini Gyro Zoomer RC Helicopter
This little mini Gyro Zoomer claims to be the worldís smallest gyro helicopter. As it’s only around 11cm long, they are probably right. The tiny helicopter is great fun and highly controllable, making it easy for beginners to get started right away. Although very small, it is remarkably resilient, but there are some spare parts included just in case.
The only negative that seems to crop up with these mini gyro helicopters is that sometimes the charge doesnít last as long after prolonged use.
The fourth electric rc helicopter to look at is something rather new and different:
The Lujex(TM) U810A iHelicopter 3.5CH Mini RC Helicopter Gyro Launching Missile
An rc helicopter that you control with your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, how cool is that? This heli also launches a missile with sound. The Gyro makes it easy to control and there are clear instructions which make it suitable for beginners and simple to get started straight out of the box.
Whichever electric rc helicopter you decide to choose for your first flight, you are sure to enjoy this fun and entertaining hobby.
