Helicopters have often been called the most difficult of all remote control aircraft to fly but with a mini RC helicopter (AKA micro RC helicopter) that's no longer true, and even less so with a coaxial mini RC helicopter.
These small fliers are a great way to bring youngsters to the fun hobby of radio/remote control copters.
Safer, easier to handle and less expensive than larger, single rotor models, a Ready to Fly coaxial Mini will have you flying in minutes and having a ball right away.
A coaxial mini RC helicopter differs from pricier and harder-to-fly single rotor helis in important ways.
Single rotor copters have a main rotor and a tail rotor, while coaxials have 2 mains (and no tail rotor) placed one on top of the other, and blades that spin in opposite directions.
This arrangement does a better job of canceling out the torque produced by the rotors, making the aircraft more stable than single rotors.
Other design features also boost stability, so that coaxial minis are as easy to fly as most 2 channel toy helicopters, but with lots more agility.
In addition to hovering, going right and left and up and down, they can go forwards and backwards (some toy helis can't) and even perform some complicated maneuvers, just like big single rotors.
If you, your child or grandchild have wanted to fly RC helicopters, it's never been easier to learn, or easier on the pocketbook, than right now.
If children are flying, be sure to choose an age appropriate model and monitor them at all times.
Be safe and you'll have tons of fun flying a mini RC helicopter!
