What Micro RC Helicopter Should You Buy?

First a question or two will put you on the right track for getting the Micro RC Helicopter the really pleases. The first two basic questions will the helicopter be flown indoors or outdoors?

Most indoor Micro RC Helicopters are controlled by inferred which means line of sight. Sunlight will interfere with the control signal and cause the pilot to lose control. Being Micro RC Helicopters with precise flight characteristics make them perfect for flying around indoors in smaller spaces.

There are many Micro RC Helicopters that fit into the indoor category and many are just okay yet others are very poor. But if you really want to impress the person you are giving the gift to. Here are two Micro RC Helicopters that are over the tip in technology and high quality. Not only high quality but very easy to fly and very durable and both come in at under $25. And everyone from 8 to 80 just loves them.

The Best Indoor Micro RC Helicopters

Five stars rated in a 3ch RTF RC Helicopter the Syma s107 is available 5 different colors. Blue, Green, Red, Yellow and White and a sixth color is starting to make an appearance is Black.

Brand new to the market is a 4ch Micro RC Helicopter called the “Drift King”. Highly rated and very high tech, adds the slide to the left or right to the 3ch’s 4 different flying directions. It is just a touch larger than the Syma s107 but every bit as durable and loads of fun to fly.

The Best Micro RC Helicopter for Outdoors

You can find quite a few Micro RC Helicopters available still using the old technology. The very old fashion 27 Mhz and 73 Mhz frequencies for toys and some of them aren’t bad. But the new technology is the 2.4 Ghz frequencies because many pilots can fly at the same time and not interfere with each other. The 2.4 Ghz band is not as susceptible to terrestrial interference as the older toy frequencies. So no crashes from interference to ruin your day with the 2.4 Ghz band.

Until very recently the 2.4 Ghz band was a little pricey in the Micro RC Helicopter.  But that is all changed because a number of makers have started making the Micro RC helicopter with the 2.4 Ghz 4 channel radio control at prices that are sure to please..

The top Micro RC Helicopter for outdoors is the 4CH 2.4GHz Micro RC Helicopter model V911 RTF available in White and Blue and Red and Black. For outdoors until recently it cost a lot more but a number of the bigger name companies started making a 2.4 Ghz 4 channel Micro RC Helicopter but they are still a little pricey. Recently a company in China has introduced a knockoff of the more costly models. It is a 2.4 Ghz 4ch Micro RC Helicopter model V911 and can fly in breezy weather known to be another first. This Micro RC Helicopter is very fast and maneuverable. It is made from a material that is very durable and somewhat rubbery. This is the first RC helicopter that will fly up, down, forward, backward and will fly to the left and fly to the right, hover and turn right and left make the flight characteristics very realistic
