What exactly is the "fun" in RC Helicopters?

and are you smart enough to do it?

RC Helicopters are pretty darn nifty.. and the dog has fun!Every day when I'm out flying radio controlled helicopters I always hear the same thing from my buddies. "This one is hard", "This one doesn't do anything but go up and go down", "Dude I can't even hit your dog! Show me how you did that again..". It's true, there's such a huge variety of rc helicopters on the market now-a-days that it's hard to really determine what the fun really is!

Rewind to years ago when only a few rc helicopters were on the market and it was easy to select the perfect one for you. The hobby has since grown significantly and now has thousands of models available. So which one do I buy, and how do I "HAVE FUN" with it? Before we get into brands - let's first determine if you need a gas or electric rc helicopter.

Electric - For the most part includes indoor helicopter models. These helicopters are made mainly for flying indoors with the exception being the 4 channel models are able to fly outside.

Gas - Generally includes some 4 channel, and mainly 6 channel AWESOME helicopters.. These helicopters are ones that can do incredible tricks outside, even on a windy day! I recommend going with a 4 channel first before upgrading to the big boy though, you may wreck it and cause hundreds of dollars worth of damage - not worth the risk!

Now that you know the difference between electric and gas helicopters, let me take out all the fluff and tell you the truth about the brands.. There is really only a few good brands of these things and you can verify that with ANY local hobby shop. If they don't know these brands, then they've never even flown a helicopter!

First up to is the ESky Helicopter. This brand name has been around for a very long time and includes all of the most popular rc helicopters on the market. If you're looking for a great price on a 4 channel helicopter and like great quality as well then I highly recommend ESky Helicopters.

The 2nd (hands down) best brand currently available on the market is Align TRex Helicopters. These guys make the best 6 channel helicopter that I've ever flown and let me tell you first hand that the tricks they can do are freakin amazing!
