Electric Radio Controlled helicopter

In recent years, electric rc helicopter have really dropped in price and have become easier to fly, making electric rc helicopter the ultimate 'must have' radio control model. Electric RC helicopter allows more people to enjoy this hobby without having to always fix their models and having to pay a hefty price.

As a result, electric rc helicopter now make up the fastest growing sector of the general hobby of rc flying, and the models shown on this page are just a few of the most popular models at the current time.

So it's great news if you've ever loved the idea of flying a model helicopter but have always been put off by the high prices and horror stories about how hard model helicopters are to control - it seems that those days are over!

Having said that though, care still needs to be taken if learning to fly a 4 or more channel single rotor electric rc helicopter from scratch. electric rc helicopter not toys and they do still have a learning curve! The co-axial electric rc helicopter, talked about further down the page, are much easier to fly with no experience.

But many modern electric rc helicopters such as the sleek-looking Phoenix CP, pictured below, are designed with the novice, as well as the expert, in mind.
The Phoenix CP follows hot on the heels of the tried and trusted Phoenix CP, one of the most popular electric rc helicopters in its class*.

Helis like the Blade generally have good flight stability - exactly what you need when learning to fly an rc helicopter, and yet they're perfectly capable of demanding 3D aerobatic flying with some simple upgrades (and a lot of practice...).

So even if you've never held a radio control helicopter before, a model like the Blade CP will give you a smooth introduction to flying electric rc helicopters but, as previously mentioned, you still have a learning curve to deal with!

Because the two main rotors spin in opposite directions to one another, they cancel out each other's torque and so a tail rotor is not necessary on these kind of helicopters - that's one less channel to worry about when learning to fly!
These contra-rotating helicopters are very stable in the air and can be flown around just like a conventional tail rotor model.

They have the added advantage of being a lot easier to master, and the good ones such as the Blade CX shown above can pretty much be flown right out the box with not much setting up involved.

In comparison, a single rotor/tail rotor RTF electric heli advertised as "Can be flown straight from the box with NO experience!" invariably needs some tweaking here and there, and some sensible practice.

With the majority of electric rc helicopters, so long as you are sensible and follow the manufacturer's instructions closely, there is absolutely no reason why you should have any serious problems or difficulties with learning to fly your helicopter quickly and safely.
