What is the biggest RC helicopter?
Currently, the record holder for the largest RC Helicopter is the EC-135 ADAC Notarzt Christoph 33.
What is a collective pitch RC helicopter?
Collective Pitch RC Helicopters With collective pitch (CP), the pitch or angle of attack of the main rotor blades changes to control lift while the motor/engine speed and rotor speed stays more or less constant.
How much does a good helicopter cost?
Entry level (not better brand / higher quality / lots of aluminum parts / flybarless) Micro CP Helis are generally under $250 without radio, while FP Helis are usually under $160 with radio and coaxials $120 with radio. Note: This isn’t to say that there aren’t quality helis much cheaper than this upper limit.
What is the best indoor RC helicopter?
The Blade BLH4200 is one of our favorite indoor RC helicopters because it’s made of high-quality materials and super simple to use. While it’s not as inexpensive as other helicopters, it’s got something few others do: it works with generic, third-party batteries, so it’s cheap to buy several to have around.

What are the controls for a helicopter?
Location of flight controls in a helicopter. A helicopter pilot manipulates the helicopter flight controls to achieve and maintain controlled aerodynamic flight. Changes to the aircraft flight control system transmit mechanically to the rotor, producing aerodynamic effects on the rotor blades that make the helicopter move in a deliberate way.
Why is a helicopter called a helicopter?
Helicopter rotor chops or cuts the air to produce required the lift and hence the name chopper is used for a helicopter. Incidentally, ‘chopper’ is used for a semiconductor device called ‘ thyristor ‘ because of its ability to chop the sin-osoidal wave at a desired location.
What is the size of a helicopter?
Helicopter sizes. Normal (<4kg, <150cm rotor diameter) 30 and 50 sized nitro helicopters, 600-sized electric helicopters.
