Product Description
Description:

-The Precision CNC Main Gear with Auto-Rotation Hub is designed to improve the performance over stock main gear. The main purpose of this upgrade is to provide true, round and un-wobbled main gear. The complete set comes with a new designed CNC main gear with better material than stock main gear. This material will make the gear stronger and therefore it is not easy to wobble. It is produced by CNC machines so it is absolute… More >>

RC helicopter has become one of the more popular “boy toys” that hit and hit big. Its popularity is not surprising at all. Imagine fulfilling your dream of flying an aircraft without spending too much. And most of all, without leaving your foot off the ground. Now that’s a good plus factor if you simply don’t want to risk your life flying with a spinning rotor above your head.


Rc helicopter usually come in either gas or electric powered. Here are the things you should know about the two:


Electric – If you are a novice rc enthusiast, then the most advisable thing to buy is the electric rc helicopter. The reasons are simple. It is simpler than other types of helicopters especially the gas rc’s. With the electric, you don’t have to deal with the engine and the gas it will consume. You would not need to have proper knowledge about mechanics just to make it fly. You don’t have to spend a lot of time reader the manual just to understand how it works. And if the helicopter fails, you don’t have to figure out how to fix it.


Most, if not all novices begin with electric for several reason. Electric ones are cheaper than gas powered. It is also easier to fly since it does not require an engine. And finally, electric rc helicopter produces no noise and no smell. With these reasons, you can draw a conclusion that those who buy electric ones want convenience more than real experience.


Although there is nothing wrong with it, electric rc helicopter is not for people who require more than just simplicity. If you are thinking that electric rc helicopter would not fly for long then you should change you perspective. Most modern electric RCs are powered by lithium batteries and coupled with brushless motors. This makes it fly much longer. In fact it can out last some of the gas rc’s.


And last thing: It is quiet on air thus you cannot disturb other’s privacy.


Gas – A more experienced pilot prefers gas powered for several reasons. One is, flying gas rc helicopter flies like flying a full-size helicopter since the sound that the engine creates can trigger excitement. Oh! You might think that it is quite absurd. But no! The sound of the engine makes it more exciting to fly. Another reason is that gas rc helicopter is more complicated that keeps its pilot more addicted with it. Why? This is because the pilot is not only limited to flying the helicopter alone. Pilot is involved with how the mechanics of the RC. This gives him more reason to become excited on the RC.


Forget about the price since gas rc helicopter does not come cheap. Also, forget about the noise because it comes with the engine, the sound cannot escape your ear. But here lies the answer to the question.


Serious rc pilots prefer noise and price over silence, economy and most of all convenience. The complexity of the engine makes it more attractive to those who want to enjoy the real experience of flying a helicopter. You never saw an electric full size helicopter, didn’t you? The there is one thing that rc pilots are conscious about, that is the closeness of the rc to the real helicopter.


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. Since it involves gas and an engine, rc pilots take it more seriously. Added to this is the type of thrill that is involve every second of flying.


One last reason is that, gas powered helicopter is the best thing you get before you move to ultralight helicopter. Thus, one you have a gas powered helicopter, you don’t have to require yourself to upgrade unlike if you have an electric powered helicopter. But in the case you want to upgrade to ultralight, you can easily get familiar with flying since you have already been with an engined-helicopter.


And oh, before we forgot, a gas powered helicopter teaches you the basic of the helicopter flying more than any type of rc helicopter around.

See me flying an E-Flite Blade 400 RC-Helicopter and listen to the song “Rot8″ i just composed.

Product Description
Description:

-The Precision Main Blade Grips and Mixing Arms are designed to work on the new Blade CP PRO helicopters. The product is 100% aluminum CNC machined to provide best precision and durability. With total of 10 miniature ball bearings, this combination works flawlessly on the blade CP PRO head, and brings much better smoothness in the head response. The mixing arms are redesigned to equip with high precision bearings in each arm… More >>

Bit damp out but it was very calm. This was after setting up the head better, and with correct settings in the transmitter. Much better.

RC Helicopters, one of mankind’s the most fascinating invention, grab people’s attention wherever they are flown. Not surprisingly, RC Helicopters earned its place as one of the most intriguing hobby to pursue. This fact probably came to be because of the addictive, gripping and exciting nature of this leisure pursuit. To add to that, the models themselves represent the finest modern day miniature technology can offer.

Not long ago, very few have ever had the pleasure of getting a taste of flying these amazing machines. For a simple reason – once upon a time they cost way too much to buy and way to expensive to maintain. Alas – many thought this hobby would be and forever remain amongst one of those exclusive to the rich. Also, some people did not like the smell of gasoline exhaust or the loud noise of the engine. Fear not! Those days are gone!

Most people can now very easily afford to fly RC helicopters thanks to the tremendous improve of batteries, motors, and general electronics in the past few years. These innovations result in a new field of RC – electric RC helicopters – which at the same time opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. These include flying helicopter indoors and right at your own backyard while at the same time causing absolutely no pollution and much less noise. Moreover, maintenance costs which used to scare most people now shrink down so low that it won’t hurt your wallet in any way.

Recent technologies also allow these new breed of RC to be built much smaller than their predecessors. This not only fulfills many people’s childhood dream of indoor flights, it also makes for easy transporting. Not that it has to be carried very far since it can be flown right at your house. The need for tedious maintenance greatly decreased as well. You can forget hauling around heavy flight box full of equipment. If any repairs became necessary, it can usually be carried out in full with nothing more than a screw driver. Often times repair can be made using bare hands.

Reliability of these electric machines improves greatly when compared to the gas versions because they use electrical motors instead of nitro engines. Electric motors come much cheaper, much less tedious, and much less dirty. Unlike gas engines, electric motor almost never cuts out like an engine does. This means no more stalled engine in mid air!

Don’t think for one second that electric flights won’t last long. Modern RC models use Lithium Polymer batteries. These types of batteries will allow electric flights to last as long as – or longer – than gas-powered flights. Moreover, when running out of gas, nitro helicopter engines will suddenly cut out. On the other hand, their electric brothers will slowly power down, providing ample time to safely land.

Beginners will find that it’s now much easier to get a hang of this hobby. Whereas nitro helicopters can easily draw buckets of sweat from learning pilots, these new electric ones prove much easier to master. No longer are six channels required to fly, now helicopter pilots can start learning at only 2, 3, and 4 channels. Some models even use two main rotors that turn in opposite directions, eliminating the need for a tail rotor. This means one less channel to worry about while learning. And what’s more, most of these beginner helicopters fly right of the box. No more spending weeks trying to assemble complicated kits.

On the other hand, for experienced pilots, high-end modessuch as Align’s T-Rex 450 and T-Rex 600 offers high performance 3D crafts that will excite even the most avid pilots.

Where once flying a small model helicopter around in your own home was once a far-fetched dream, electric RC helicopters has made that dream a very vivid and extremely enjoyable reality!
