RC Helicopters For People Of All Ages

Flying RC helicopters has exploded onto the toy scene – with the advancement of micro-electronics and manufacturing, you can get a very capable RC helicopter for very cheap nowadays – starting at $30 (cheaper than most video games)! For beginners you want to look for what’s called an RTF helicopter (which stands for ready to fly) that comes with the receiver, motor, battery pack and basically everything you need to get started in one box.

For beginners and young children a good RC helicopter to start with is what’s referred to a mini-rc helicopter. These tend to be the size of your hand with a popular one being the Syma s107. It’s a small 3-channel helicopter that right out of the box will run. It’s available in 3 colors and has all replaceable parts including the blades, balance bar and shell incase you crash it too many times (which you probably will).

If you can get the hang of one of these, its time to go bigger and you can opt for more intermediate helicopters such as the double horse 9101. These are bigger, so has a larger battery and the same 3 channels of motion that let you go forward, backward, left, and right. IT also featured some carbon fiber body parts that not only look cool but are more durable as well.

Parents are constantly looking for new fun ways to spend time with their kids. Remote control toys can really help fill this gap as it’s available for all ages and whether you’re indoors or outdoors it can be a lot of fun. There’s RC buggies that you can buy that are extremely durable and built for the sand and dirt roads, to highly modified RC cars that run on gas and have extremely accurate controls that even let you do drift turns and doughnuts like real cars to RC boats that can literally fly across the water at breakneck speeds. All of these toys have different skill levels that let you start off with your say 5-year old son, and as he gets better, upgrade to a more advanced model.
