Trotz Wind und feuchter Wiese stand gestern der Jungfernflug meiner endlich fertigen Bo 105 (500er Größe) an. Da es mein erstes Semi-Scale-Projekt ist, hat der Bau lange gedauert und somit war ich sehr froh, als sie endlich das erste Mal am Himmel schwebte. Die Steuerung ist noch gewöhnungsbedürftig und ich hatte am Schluss plötzlich starke Empfangsstörungen, die sich in Servozucken und Reaktionsträgheit von 1-2 Sekunden gezeigt hat. Da stand eine schnelle Landung an. Aber dennoch bin ich mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden, da ich mit viel schlimmerem gerechnet hatte.

Radio Controlled Helicopters - What's the Difference Between 2 Channels, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Channels?
All radio controlled helicopter enthusiasts will tell you that flying RC helicopters is the most exciting and thrilling of all RC models. Cars, trucks, tanks, boats and robots are all limited to forward/backward and left/right movement but radio controlled helicopters can have full technicolor, surround-sound,3D maneuverability. The only limitation to your exhilaration and flying pleasure is your skill, the space available and the sophistication of your RC helicopter model.
So what is it exactly that enables your heli to perform complex aerial acrobatics?
In short, it's the number of channels that can be controlled by you - the more you have, the greater the maneuverability of your RC helicopter.
But don't be fooled into thinking that more is better. Flying a model helicopter is every bit as complicated and skillful as the flying the real thing. Just because your heli is smaller in scale doesn't mean that the laws of aerodynamics change! To achieve successful flight, all criteria remain the same. However, flying a model does have the advantage of being able to start with a basic set of controls and work your way upward to the Full Monty and this is achieved by mastering an increasing number of channels.
But first, you will need to understand that each channel controls a separate servo mechanism in your model. And for those of us who find it helpful to understand how a thing works, it's useful to know that a servo is a mechanical device that controls the movement of an element by 'pushing' it with a lever. You can control the degree of 'push' this lever exerts on a servo from the controls on your transmitter handset. The greater the servo's 'push' the bigger the resulting movement of the element it is acting on. So, to move the angle of the tail rotor, for example, you need a channel to control the tail servo.
So, as each movable element on an RC helicopter requires its own servo, you will also need an extra channel for each one. By increasing your ability to fine-tune the interaction of each servo via the channel controls on your handset, you will be able to produce an increasingly wide range of aerial movements for your radio controlled helicopter.
So here's a basic list of the differences between the numbers of channels on a radio controlled helicopter:
2 Channels provide you with the ability to control two servo mechanisms, giving you the ability to control movement up and down (rotor blade speed) & left and right, (rear rotor, directional controls).
3 channels give you the two movement controls, above, but with the additional control of moving backwards and forwards (cyclic control).
4 channels give control over the throttle, elevator, aileron, rudder, improving on the maneuverability of the above, fixed pitch controls.
5 channels are rarely found, giving way to the more common 6 channel model. These additional channels give skilled flyers the ability to perform true, 3D aerial movements by adding collective pitch and gyro gain control into the mix.
It can all get very complicated!
So which is the best choice for you? Well, if you are just starting out with radio controlled helicopters, stick to the 2 channel models at first. Learn to master the basic movements first before progressing through the ranks, right up to the impressive but challenging 6 channel models. Whatever you decide, have fun with your RC helicopter, fly safely and enjoy improving your flying skills!

In this article we are going to look at giant scale RC airplanes. These large scale RC airplanes are more often than not war birds, both fighter and bomber variants, believe me seeing something like a B17 flying around is truly impressive. These giant scale RC airplanes are generally categorized by their weight. This is because when an RC aircraft reaches a certain weight, in this case over 44lb (20kg) models are subject to an inspection by the Large Model Association on behalf of the CAA in the UK and the IMAA in the US.
This series of inspections are designed to ensure the safety of the public, by imposing certain standards in the construction of the airframe and integrity of its control systems including double redundant elevator control, twin batteries with automatic switching etc. These airplanes usually have wingspans of greater than 85 inches and look superb in flight.
These large scale airplanes are normally powered by petrol engines up to and sometimes beyond 100cc. Many users are now exclusively using 2.4GHz Radio control equipment; all servos must be of the metal gear type and things like control clevis and horns need to be beefed up. This is where weight starts to play its role as these airplanes need stronger heavier kit for durability, they also need stronger heavier and sprung Oleos to absorb landing shocks, and so weight can increase exponentially. These large scale RC airplanes are not particularly difficult to fly and sometimes they can be easier due to their increased stability, this is especially true in gusty weather.
Many might say that this is an awful lot of hassle when if you keep the weight below 44lb you are relatively free of rules and regulation, but I urge you to go to a meeting of these large war birds you may just become hooked.
Where To Find RC Helicopters For Sale And What To Look For
RC helicopters are a growing trend in the hobby world. They offer enjoyment for both kids and adults, both in the flying of them and, for the enthusiast, the building and customization. But buying an RC helicopter can be a pricey investment, so the potential buyer should make sure to understand what they are buying and where to find exactly what it is that suits them best.
Finding RC helicopters for sale is a fairly easy task. The complication comes in deciding whether what one store has for sale is best for the individual buying. Hobby stores are a great place to find RC helicopters, as are online hobby sites. These sites often contain a great deal of information as well, allowing the buyer to browse through the different options. Some sites are even devoted purely to RC helicopters, and thus provide the greatest variety of options. Major toy stores also carry RC helicopters, though the selection may be more oriented to the casual flyer or towards cheaper-end products that are better for kids rather than the devotee. Auction sites are good places to find RC helicopters for sale, but this may leave the buyer settling as opposed to getting exactly what they want.
When shopping, a potential buyer should be aware of the various options available to them and the relevance of these options. The prices of RC helicopters can vary greatly depending on the size and quality. Larger copters are going to require more fuel, and usually gas as opposed to the electricity that smaller copters use. Larger copters are much easier to control. Larger copters are also more expensive. The amount of money that the buyer is willing to pay should reflect their interest in the hobby. If the hobby is just going to be part-time, then buying a larger and more expensive copter might not be the best idea. There is the issue of how much the buyer wishes to customize the copter as well. A small, electric, and pre-built copter would be an excellent choice for a child's birthday present, but a poor choice to an RC devotee.
RC helicopters can be quite fun, but a new buyer should definitely do their homework before making a commitment. Being aware of how seriously one is going to take the hobby allows the buyer to pick and choose the options that suit them best. This can save a lot of time, grief, and money in the long run. If unsure, buying a smaller copter and trying it out might be the best way to go. If the hobby turns into a passion then a larger copter will be easier to purchase when the buyer understands more about what they like in their machine. Finding RC helicopters for sale is easy, but buying the right one a little less so. Knowledge is the key to making the right decision and maximizing one's enjoyment.
Whether you are new to your hobby or an old hand you can benefit from joining a local RC club. What better way to connect with other people who share your interest and passion? It is a great way to meet people and hopefully make many new friends. We all know how hard it can be to find time in seriously busy schedules to meet people and make friends, right? Club members will be able to discuss with you the latest RC issues, the hottest new toys, share tips and techniques and give you advice on the best and safest places to operate your remote control toy plane, helicopter, car, boat or truck. Their websites can provide a great amount of information specific to your area and give you an idea what the club is all about.
Depending upon the type of model or toy you have you will need to check into requirements for operating them at local parks, tracks, waterways and fields. For instance, fields in our area require model RC airplane enthusiasts to be members in good standing of the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics). Some fields located within parks also require you to purchase an annual pass in order to use the fields, as well as, being a current member of the AMA. Local clubs will be able to answer all these questions for you.
I went out on the net and did a Google search for clubs in my home town and found four RC plane clubs, five RC car clubs, one RC truck club, one RC boat club, but unfortunately no RC helicopter clubs. Maybe a helicopter club will form soon. I picked random localities, did searches and found that most cities have local clubs. If there are no clubs close to home, maybe you could be the first to start one. A little networking could help you to locate others in your area that might be interested in starting a club.
Go out and do a search in your area and find a local RC club. Most clubs have calendars that list events and meeting times and places. I suggest going to a club meeting, meeting the members and finding out what they are all about. You can visit more than one club if they are available and choose the one that fits you best. You want to feel comfortable with the other members of the club. All that is left is joining and then the fun begins.

Blade 400 - Flight 41 - Foam Blades @ RC Heli Field Video Clips.
Wanted to see how they performed during some forward flight - not bad at all! They're a little more responsive than the stock woodies. I'm running them a bit too fast (2500 vs 1800rpm), but they've held up just fine during the last 10 or so flights. I was itching to try my first loop - I better wait until I put the woodies back on ...

RC Helicopters - The Importance of Watching Product Demos on YouTube
If you would like to view incredible demos on how aircraft models operate, go on and search for YouTube RC Helicopters. There you will discover numerous video clips that showcase your favorite flying choppers in action.
Seeing the footages will truly assist you in determining whether or not to purchase a specific model you want since you will be offered a preview. But whilst getting a sneak peek is a benefit, nonetheless it is usually much better to view the actual item personally. So do your very best to check the model yourself to be certain if it is really the appropriate design that meets your preferences.
I am an RC helicopter hobbyist myself, and I presently own 4 models. But prior to buying each and every single one of them, I did some evaluation first and searched for YouTube videos to understand how the device functions and what the customers have to say about it.
There is a specific YouTube channel I like that's called Banana Hobby. It provides a substantial assessment of the newest and most favorite RC helicopter styles, and I view the videos a lot especially when I'm about to purchase another model. I like how the uploader really puts effort in explaining every aspect of the model he's reviewing, as well as tests it out so that the viewers can judge its efficiency.
Watching the videos and reading the customer comments have always had a fairly significant influence in my choice to purchase every one of my helicopter models. I cannot tell you how many occasions I've fortunately avoided buying what I believed was a great piece, and this is because of the video critics who showed me the real disadvantages of the product. Without these demos, I'd have wasted cash and most likely develop disinterest in mini helicopters if I kept on obtaining terrible models.
The YouTube RC Helicopters videos are also very useful particularly for individuals like me who reside far from where the actual item is sold. I usually need to get my order shipped, so it won't be until the product arrives when I find out if it's good or not. That is why I'm truly glad there are many clips about radio-controlled choppers so I'll know what to anticipate beforehand. And because I've already seen the model chopper online, I can stop the hassles of item returns and therefore conserve time and cash.
But obviously it is not best to just depend on video demonstrations; you'll need to take a look at the model aircraft yourself to prevent being scammed. Also, keep in mind that not all the critiques are trustworthy. Some uploaders are only concerned about having their products sold, so they'll usually offer biased opinions to attract the viewers. You truly have to be cautious and look for the critic that's most trusted by customers.
The fantastic thing about YouTube RC Helicopters videos is the fact that they're always accessible. Just an easy search on the internet and you will discover a large number of demos to view--that's a lot better than reading a written evaluation because it is somewhat difficult to truly trust somebody when you cannot see what they're speaking about. And because mini helicopters are a significant investment for hobbyists like yourself, you'll definitely need a much more visual presentation of the item before you decide to purchase it.
To obtain more details about model helicopters, simply search for YouTube RC Helicopters to get previews and demos on the newest designs being sold in the market today. In time, you should be able to find the chopper model that's really meant for you.
The Air Hogs Fly Crane is the first consumer RC helicopter with a built in winch. It can carry about 11 grahams of weight and it comes with 3 baskets to put things in and carry around. It's a 2 channel helicopter so it takes some skill to pick up a basket, but it is a lot of fun. You have about 6 minutes of flight time to see how many baskets you can pick up, and it really gives your flight a little more purpose. The winch is really well designed, tangles aren't a problem, and it raises and lowers at the touch of a button. You can pick one up at your local toys r us or walmart or online. It's a great little helicopter and it's perfect for your collection.
