Micro RC Helicopter has caught fancy of many in past few years. To put it simply it’s all about controlling a helicopter through a radio control. Since the helicopter has a built in gyro they are very stable and the controlling is very easy. The helicopter can be flown in the living room without damaging paintings, furniture and plants with little bit of practice. The Micro RC helicopters are available in varied ranges. The starting length of the helicopter is of 10cm (4 inch). There are four sizes available:
·         10 cm (4 inch)
·         23 cm (9 inch)
·         36 cm (14 inch)
·         50 cm (20 inch)
The prices of the helicopters vary as per the sizes. As the size increases the price also increases. The charging of the battery is also dependent on the size. The Micro RC helicopters are loaded with Li-Po batteries with one or more cells. The helicopter can be flown from 5-15 minutes depending on the size of the helicopter. It is advisable to buy smaller helicopters as they are easy to start with. Since the smaller helicopters are affected by the wind easily, they are not controllable when they are flown outdoors. If the user wants to fly the helicopter outdoors then the best chosen size is 36 cm (14 inch).
 
The channel counts in each Micro RC helicopter is the most distinguishing character. The more the number of channels the more functions it gives. For e.g. one channel can control the altitude of the helicopter. The Second can rotate the helicopter. The third can move the helicopter backwards and forward. Further with the fourth channel the helicopter can move in the sideways. For those who love to do stunts with their helicopters there are 5th & 6th channels which can be used to twist and turn as per requirement. In some models there are buttons which can remotely control the lighting of the helicopter.
 
In general most of the helicopters have 3 to 4 channels. As the number of channels increase the controlling becomes difficult. It is advised by the experts that the beginners should first start using helicopters with three channels. A beginner can enjoy the flying with 3 channels indoors without much experience in flying. Once the user is familiar with flying with 3 channels then he can go in for four channels. The helicopter can be controlled with the help of two types of remotes i.e. radio controlled and infra red. In case of infra red antenna is not required.
