Now a days RC Airplanes can be seen flying in department stores and fields everyday. In fact, its close cousin, the RC helicopter are every bit as enjoyable if not more! Some even say that they add a whole new dimension to the world of RC hobby. Mastering these rotary fliers will be an enjoyable pursuit that provides endless entertainment!
Flying an RC helicopter can be difficult at first, and patience is required. Very few pilots actually manage to fly or even keep their model aloft for more than a few seconds the very first time they try their hands at the controls. This is definitely one hobby where multiple flights and a lot of practice is required. However, through repetition, the beginner pilot is bound to be a better flyer and soon to master their heli!
To start out with, there can be some minimal expected investment for the RC helicopter hobbyist. The entire price of the kit selected will be the primary investment, but the RC toy user will also want to keep a fund stored away in case repairs become necessary. There is a good chance that repairs will be likely during the first few flights, since the novice is still mastering the art of using the toy. Thus, being financially prepared relieves the hobbyist of the anxiety associated with not having enough monies to fix any damages incurred during first time flying sessions.
One more factor to remember is that this hobby is quite difficult, in fact some claim the most difficult of all RC pursuits. If you are not scared to "stick with it" and learn how to fly properly, you are already almost there. What most veteran pilots will guarantee, however, is that your perseverance will surely pay off in the end and you will reap the reward in form of endless enjoyment.
Once you are ready to make the first purchase, it should be noted that most kits, though mostly assembled, will need some more assembling. An instruction manual will be provided, but don't expect it to be easy to follow. Moreover, a slight misconfiguration might mess up the model aerodynamically and it may not lift off at all. Because of this, it may be a good idea to get a to know some local hobby shops where you can make frequent trips to ask for assembly instructions and advices.
Last but not least, safety should never ever be overlooked. It is most prudent to be mindful of others as well as your self when ever you are flying your RC helicopter. Although some think of it as a toy, with blades spinning at crazy speeds, they can be very dangerous! It is highly recommended that you always fly outdoors and in safe conditions. This way, you can enjoy your hobby and know that you are doing so responsibly!
