Remote Controlled Models - The Helicopter

If you like remote controlled models and have plenty of room, then you might want to consider purchasing one of the new huge remote control helicopters that have recently been introduced by several makes. These helicopters, which can sometimes be as big as ten feet long, rival real helicopters in agility. They are expensive and can cost three thousand dollars or more.

As with many fads, some people just have to possess one of their own. So, the next time you are strolling in the countryside and you see a helicopter flying around, look again closely. At first you will most likely think that it is a real helicopter that is simply further away then you first thought. But look again and you will probably see someone controlling the helicopter with a huge remote control box.

If you see one of these remote controlled helicopters in flight, deem yourself very fortunate. Because it is so expensive to own one of these beauties, they are also still fairly rare. However, because I am an ardent collector myself, I have considered buying one of these large remote control helicopters, and I even put a bid on one in Ebay once, but in the end I did not get it and instead decided to wait until the cost comes down a bit more.

Just as with any new, trendy item, big remote control helicopters are the latest fad, but in a few years, I am sure there will be a greater supply and the cost will fall. Then I will be ready and willing to buy. But until then, I have a very bighearted and rich friend who owns one, and I will practice flying his. I have already taken it out once - it is so much more powerful than the normal, small remote control helicopters that you are probably used to. When you first turn it on, the big remote control helicopter’s rotors spin with such ferociousness, that you may worry that you are going to break something. and then, when it lifts off the ground, you will experience a huge sense of achievement, knowing that you are the one who is controlling it.

And if you are able to make a successful, smooth landing too, then you can truthfully consider yourself a helicopter pilot, because even those very experienced with small remote control helicopters will be overwhelmed to see someone land a big remote control helicopter, because it really is totally different. So if you happen to be fortunate, well-off, or just single-minded enough to acquire one of your own, take pleasure in your time with your giant helicopter.

I guarantee you that it will be one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life. For me, the entire process was unreal, and when it was all over, I had to phone everyone I knew and tell them how I had flown a 10 foot helicopter and landed it smoothly. I bet that’s how pilots feel the first time they fly a real aircraft.
