Information About

Radio-controlled Helicopter




Flight controls allow pilots to control the collective and throttle (usually at the same time), the cyclic controls ( Pitch and Roll ), and the tail rotor ( Yaw ). Controlling these in unison makes the helicopter perform all the maneuvers and stunts an aeroplane can do, and more besides.

Radio controlled helicopters can range in price from £50 to £3000.

An advanced form of RC helicopter flying is called 3D. During 3D Flying , helicopters perform advanced Aerobatics in a freestyle form. There are a number of 3D competitions around the world, two of the best known are the 3D Masters in the UK and the EXtreme Flight Championship (XFC) in the USA .
