Model Helicopters and Other Rotorcraft
There is a famous joke across aviation entusiasts. It says the helicopter owners are poor because they spend all their money on their helis. The real helicopters are bloody expensive to own and support indeed. There is nothing like that with the model ones.
Imagine you own all the helicopters you dreamed about and they all sit in your room. You could have model gas helicopters, electric ones, rubber band powered choppers and more! Well, of course that's possible only with models.
So, what do you think about
Certainly it's quite exciting to see this little toy flying in your room and landing on the TV. How many kinds of RC helicopters are available on the market? Thousands. But typically they fall within one of the following categories:
So cool, isn't it? What else:
Of course - think about autogyros, gyrodines, ultralight helicopter models.
Only your imagination is the limit.

Remote Control Helicopters?
Certainly it's quite exciting to see this little toy flying in your room and landing on the TV. How many kinds of RC helicopters are available on the market? Thousands. But typically they fall within one of the following categories:
- Electric remote control helicopter. Like in other types of RC aircrafts, electric are the most popular now. Easy and suitable for beginners, produces no noise and smell
- Gas remote control helicopter. Comes closest to flying a real helicopter. This kind of helis are expensive, complicated and suitable for most advanced RC fans. If you want a model gas helicopter you may need to get your hands dirty.
- Mini remote control helicopter. Some of the electric remote control helicopters are labeled as mini because of their small even for a model size. The mini RC helicopters are suitable for indoor usage.
- Micro remote control helicopter. If you have seen one, you'll know what a jewel it is. Less than 8 inches and still flying.
So cool, isn't it? What else:
 Photo by Jan Basset at Flickr | Static Helicopter Models...... can be exact copies of popular models of real helicopters. Some static models are made of wood others are made of plastic. There are also Model helicopter kitswhich allow you to build models easy yourself but wihtout starting from scratch.Modeling with kits is very appropriate for people who don't want just to buy ready toys, but have no experience in building models themselves yet. If you are in this category, consider buying a kit and don't worry, the time to build entirely yourself will come. Are there other kinds of rotorcraft models? |
Of course - think about autogyros, gyrodines, ultralight helicopter models.
