In Case Your RC Helicopter Crashes..

Choose RC Helicopter with substantial parts. Crashes can come anytime so make sure that when you purchase a model you also purchase parts. Another thing that set gas RC Helicopter apart from the electric one is the level of respect and concentration required on flying each and every time. It is said that flying a gas RC Helicopter is somewhat similar to flying a real helicopter. Both are treated with much respect and much care. There are a few things that will affect the resonance frequency of your helicopter: 1)Weight and weight placement 2)Size and lengths 3)RPM 4)Shape. So when in doubt change one of those variables and see what happens.

Get used to merely lowering the collective 1/4 way down or so. Practice walking the RC Helicopter around. Follow at a safe distance behind it and make it go places slowly. Be careful not to step in any holes. Wind conditions; the bigger the helicopter the more wind it can cope with. Always hold your blade grips tightly when you start your helicopter. If the engine starts at a higher rpm than you expect and you do not have a hold of it right away you may not be able to stop it. This can happen if you forget to reconnect the throttle link after maintenance or forget to turn the rx on.

Electric RC helicopter is also easy to fly and less complicated. Model RC RC Helicopters engine fuel (glow fuel) produces more power than conventional gasoline because of the high contests of nitro methane which is why it is more popular than gasoline for model aircraft. How important is it to find an expert to set up the pitch and balance? Make sure to buy a balancer and a pitch gauge you want errors to be less than 1 degree and the balance of the blades to be perfectly level / even. modern homebuilt helicopters surpass way too far from these early helicopter concepts.

Do not over-react and send it launching into the sky. Just take it easy and if it gets "on top of you" do not touch anything but a little forward cyclic for 1 or 2 seconds. What happens when you crash the RC Helicopter? In a light crash (bad bounce off a hard surface) you might break the landing gear and a couple other things in a average crash (lands on it's side) the first things to go are the main blades the tail boom the main shaft the flybar. Do not forget to put the frequency crystal back into the tx after you have been using it with the CSM Simulator (since the tx batteries last 10 times longer without the crystal installed) it is a real drag to go to the site and just as you are ready to start-er-up you notice you do not have a crystal in your tx. Do not let that helicopter get too far away. Even though you think it is too hard to see just because it is on a screen does not mean it is any easier to keep it close in the real world.
