As a fair but not great r/c heli pilot who owns a dozen or so helicopters, here’s my $0.02 worth.
Your first decision is what type of heli to buy. There are three types in the batch you’ve listed above; co-axial (two counter-rotating main blades like the Walkera 5#10 above), fixed pitch (like the Falcon 40), or 3D (which most of your proposed heli’s are … like the EXI 450LE)
I have and have flown helicopters like each of these. Here’s my take:
Co-axial: easiest to fly and cheap, but limited in that they can’t perform prolonged forward flight or any acrobatics
Fixed pitch: harder to fly, cheap, no acrobatics
3D (Collective Pitch): harder to fly, most expensive and hardest to set up, but most versitile (with practice, these can do anything)
I’d recommend:
Co-axial: if you go this route, I’d buy an E-Flight Blade MCX. It’s tiny, perfect for flying around the house, and is AMAZINGLY stable (even for a coaxial heli). If you want something a little bigger, try either the E-Flight Blade CX2 or E-Sky Co-Lama V4.
Fixed Pitch: I’d skip it…
3D: For starting out I’d go with the Eflight Blade 400 because it has relatively inexpensive replacement parts. Alternatively, I consider the Thunder Tiger Mini-Titan E325 or the Align TRex 450. All of these are well built, are widely available, and have lots of dealers stocking parts.
Bear in mind that all of these are sold in varrying degrees of completion… all need a motor, speed controler, battery, 3 cyclic servos, gyro and tail servo. These electronics can run $$, so don’t get sucked in by something that costs $60 (and may cost $400 to complete). Read the fine print and understand what quality components you’re buying (I ended up replacing all the servos, gyro, and battery on my first heli within weeks).
Also, if you’re going to go all-in along the 3D route, start by buying yourself a decent transmitter that you can grow with. I’d recommend the Specktrum DX7 (great) or JR9303 2.4Ghz (best) if you have the cash (if not the Specktrum DX6i is good too).
Finally, buiding these things (other than the coaxial helis) can be a bit tricky and set-up is critical if you want to successfully fly. I’d spend some time on the r/c heli boards (runryder and helifever are good) and/or find a local hobby shop that caters to heli pilots.
Ok, that’s it… good luck!
I went on http://www.rcgroups.com and looked under Mini Helicopters. There are several to chose from. I fly a Honey Bee MK 3, fixed pitch as a trainer. There is a big difference between a coaxial heli, which is pretty easy to fly but doesn’t have a tail rotor and a fixed or collective pitch heli with a tail rotor. With a tail rotor you have to train your left hand, so it depends on what you want and your experience level. Also, if you have no heli experience you will crash and you will need parts – this is a big consideration. Everyone will tell you that flying a heli is not easy! The parts for my Honey Bee are pretty cheap.
Why not choose to buy heli on ebay from china seller, cheap and not bad.
we sells a lot helicopters(also I am a ebay seller), we sell walkera, esky and some other brand, if you are interested in some rc helicopter, you can come our ebay store to see.
i like the look of this one http://www.xheli.com/ea503dae6rar.html,i would refrain from buying the buyer above who doesnt know the name of his products,not a good sign
One gets the hang of these stuff when you have couple of friends who are into buying and selling , well even aviating with the miniature aero modelling stuff. I slightly got into it but not the big ones yet. I would like to get one of these to my friend who will love me for getting it for him.
Hi dude, whether your helicopter is for your indoor or outdoor use, RC helicopters will comfort you all the way. And especially the RC helicopter metal large outdoor brother dad, is a fabulous option for your endless outdoor adventure. You can experience the skillful flight performance while flying up or down, backwards or forward, left or right. The 9.6MaH battery is amazing and it requires 8AA batteries for the controller in special. The controlling systems and the main rotor provide more flexibility while driving. And the crucial thing is that as you are a beginner practice driving slowly and increase your speed gradually. Thereby it will help you to avoid unnecessary accidents. You could seek the help from aviation agencies for your better drive. Hope you got me!
Hey lad, this http://www.nitrorcx.com/wadrflyh26ra.html seems to be the ideal RC helicopter out of all. Yea, as this Walkera Dragon Fly RC is upgraded with lipo batteries and designed with powerful motors for our fun flight playing pursuits, this sounds great out of all. Additionally they have New Year offers and discounts for this RC helicopter too. So its better to get hold of this one in my view! TY!
In my personal opinion, the Dragonfly is the best on that list. They’re hard to beat.
