How to Choose an RC Helicopter

Robbie for expert village, helicopters, huge popular thing right now are the electric radio control helicopters. Used to be to get into helicopters very expensive and the learning curve was real steep, you spend a bunch of money make a mistake, spend a bunch of money make a mistake. What's new is that their coming out with these really great electric ready to fly helicopters that for the most part have revolutionized RC helicopters and brought it to a point where just about anybody that has some patients and the desire can learn how to fly them. There's two types of helicopters, you have your coaxial style. Coaxials are an upper rotor blade, lower rotor blade, and no tail blade, or your conventional style helicopter, as I call it, which is your main upper rotor with pedals and an independent tail rotor as well. Big difference in the way the two of them fly. These coaxials what's really changing the hobby these are very easy to fly but their limited in their maneuverability and just exactly the stunts and tricks things you can do with them. The conventional style helicopters much more stunt capable they call it 3-d flying but considerably harder to learn how to fly.
