Remote control helicopters give you a unique RC experience. Skill at flying this hovercraft requires practice and patience.

The inexperienced helo pilot risk a crash and burn fast if you don't take time to introduce yourself to the fine art of helicopter control. When your helo does plummet to earth you're in for some major repairs, or total replacement, in most cases.

If you dream of flying your own helicopter I suggest you first complete a flight training program on the RC Flight Simulator. It connects to your computer, and you learn to fly without ever leaving the ground.

And for additional flying fun this flight simulator includes programs for both remote control helicopters, and RC airplanes.

 Radio control helicopters are pure fun once you master your piloting skills.

With practice you'll learn to hover your aircraft in place, fly circles, ovals, and figure eights, and even perform aerobatics.

Take a look at the RTF Black Dragon. It just might be the helo for you. It's a great gift for ages 14 and older, and comes ready to fly soon as you take it out of the package, install the controller batteries, and charge the battery pack.

Here's an RC helicopter that's ready to fly when you get it. It's modeled after the military Apache, has indoor flight capability, is a full function 3 Channel remote control aircraft. The Apache comes with battery, charger and transmitter. This radio control helicopter flies forward, backward, left, and right. Unique co-axial rotors counter-rotate for superb stability. Light and safe, this helicopter transforms any environment into a cool chopper fly zone. Each charge gives you about 10 minutes flight time.
