One of the most challenging yet rewarding RC experience is mastering rotary-wing flight. Helicopters are inherently more difficult to fly than fixed-wing aircraft and are mechanically more complex. Choosing a first heli can be confusing with so many ads and choices; it also depends on your goals. The ideal choice will be different for someone who is just looking for some entertainment in the living room and someone who wants to tear up the local flying field with the latest high-performance 3D heli.

Although mechanically complex, modern kit engineering makes it within reach of the average person to build and fly helicopters. By carefully following the instructions, you can bolt kits together with only basic tools and supplies. Almost-ready-to-fly (ARF) kits are factory assembled and only require the installation of the engine and electronics. There has been a recent explosion in small ready-to-fly (RTF) electric helis that include everything in the box and are completely assembled.

When it comes time to choose your first heli, there are a few things to keep in mind. For the most part, unlike fixed-wing aircraft, heli trainers are not common. Your first heli can take you from hovering to advanced aerobatics. Exceptions are the coaxial and fixed-pitch helis. These are limited to hovering and simple maneuvering. The key is in the setup. By reducing the collective-pitch range and cyclic control throws, the heli can be tamed and made easier to fly. As your skill grows and you need more maneuverability, the throws can be increased. That being the case, it is wise to start out with the best equipment your budget allows. A mid- to upper-end radio system will have all the features needed for advanced flight, and you won’t outgrow it after you learn to hover. Choose the helicopter version of the manufacturers’ system, as it will have the correct configuration of switches and a smooth (non-ratcheting) throttle stick for more precise control. The radio can still be used for fixed-wing aircraft, as it still has the basic features needed for most planes.

Helicopters are more difficult to fly because they lack inherent stability. The pilot of a heli in a motionless hover is constantly moving both transmitter sticks to keep it there. In a Mode II transmitter (most common type in the U.S.), the throttle is on the left stick and controls the power to the engine or motor. The collective-pitch control is mixed with throttle so that a constant rotor rpm is maintained. As the collective pitch is increased, the engine rpm also increases. The left stick also controls the tail rotor or yaw axis. In a hover, the tail rotor counteracts the main rotor’s torque. The heli’s nose can be moved left or right with tail-rotor input. Modern electronic gyros take care of keeping the tail where you want it, letting you concentrate on the other aspects of flight. Without a gyro, any minute change in rotor or engine speed or a slight wind gust would require superfast tail-rotor adjustment. The right-hand transmitter stick is the cyclic control and allows the heli to be flown forwards, backwards or sideways. By increasing or decreasing the blade pitch during each rotation or cycle, more or less lift on the blades causes the heli to bank and move in that direction. - from gettingstartedinrc.com
