Having spent over 20 years as a commercial helicopter pilot the author has the following observations to make:
The first time I ever flew a helicopter I thought to God I was trying to stir a cake.
The second time I flew a helicopter I was convinced I was stirring a cake. The helicopter seemed to have a mind of its own because no matter what you did on the controls it took a helicopter about a second and a quarter to make up its mind that your command on the controls is what you really wanted. This is called a time the lag common to all helicopters. You don't know how long a second and quarter is until you've flown a helicopter.
We were at about 1000 feet and my instructor turned to me and said, "Here you take the controls I'm sick of flying." I quickly grabbed the controls as the nose of the helicopter was heading toward the ground, so I pulled back on the cyclic stick; nothing happened, so then I pulled even further back on the stick. All of a sudden the helicopter having a mind of its own decided I really wanted the nose to go up, so the nose went up until the helicopter was almost pointing straight up into the heavens. At this point I pushed forward on the cyclic stick. This is the stick used to steer a helicopter. The nose kept going up into the wild blue yonder, I panicked as the nose kept going up, and shoved the cyclic stick even further away from me to make the nose go down. All of a sudden down went the nose straight toward the ground, with that I pulled back on the stick. The nose kept going toward the ground. I pulled back on the stick, and the nose continued going toward the ground, so I pulled the stick even further. All of a sudden the nose started rising again toward the heavens.
Meanwhile my fellow passenger who was supposed to be my instructor was sitting over in his seat laughing his head off. He wouldn't tell me what was wrong all he did was to keep laughing, and laughing. His laughter made me mad, so I decided that I'd have to dope the thing out all by myself. The instructor was just sitting in his seat convulsed with laughter. For the next 60 miles by working with the rudder pedals I was able to keep the course of the helicopter reasonably straight, but I continued flying like a porpoise, up-and-down while reciting a whole litany of the traits both common to the helicopter and my instructor as well as some comments about their habits and ancestry. Meanwhile the instructor was sitting in his seat with howling laughter.
After flying all over the sky for about an hour I finally managed to get the helicopter to fly on the straight and level. I probably learned more about flying a helicopter in that one hour then I learned in all the rest of my training flights.
As we approached our destination the instructor took over the controls again and landed the helicopter. Then he finally told me why he would not take the controls back form me; because he wanted me to gain my own confidence of the helicopter. He felt that had he taken the controls back I would never fly a helicopter again. He was right!
Flying a helicopter is a much different proposition than flying an airplane. With an airplane you can set up the trim tabs and the airplane will pretty much fly itself. A helicopter on the other hand will fly the pilot. It is much more difficult to fly a helicopter than an airplane because it takes an entirely different set of skills. The only way you can learn these skills is by experience.
The helicopter has more controls than an airplane. The collective stick you hold in your left hand, and use it to make a helicopter to go up and down by pulling up or pushing down on the stick. This actually changes the pitch of the main rotor blades by changing the amount of bight they have on the air. The same stick also controls the throttle that is like a motorcycle throttle that you operate by twisting. The starter button is often on the very tip of the stick and engages the starter when you push it down. The cyclic stick controls the attitude of the helicopter; or more specifically the attitude of the main rotor. The final control that you use is the rudders. They control the direction in which the helicopter flies. These controls are on the floor towards the front of the cabin, and they are operated by your feet. They actually operate the pitch of the propeller that is at the rear of the helicopter; this is actually called the tail rotor.
Now we have explained what happened when I first started flying a helicopter, and the controls that you have to use to fly a one.

It is true that RC airplanes are commonly seen being flown in open parks and fields outdoors or in the local community in front and back yards, but a close cousin to RC airplanes is identified in the fantastically affordable and fun RC helicopters currently being sold. RC toys in general are amazingly entertaining, but an RC helicopter in particular seemingly adds a new dimension to the RC toy using experience! There is just nothing like mastering an RC helicopter and successfully flying it for hours on end.
In order to truly benefit from utilizing an RC helicopter, the user must really be ready to develop a bit of patience. It is not reasonable to believe that a RC helicopter will be operated with great success the first time it is ever used by a novice. It takes several sessions before the RC helicopter operator learns how to manage the remote control and to direct the RC helicopter in the appropriate way. Thus, the novice flier will want to prepare ahead of time, and be ready to take the RC helicopter out on flights as much as possible; the more the RC helicopter is used the better the controller of the RC toy becomes.
To start out with, there can be some minimal expected investment for the RC helicopter hobbyist. The entire price of the RC helicopter 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 uses of the RC helicopter, 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.
When it comes to any and all RC toys, it has to be said that the RC helicopter is the most difficult to learn how to master. If this notion is not a deterrent, then the individual interested in RC helicopter will probably do well with operating one. A stick-to-it attitude and persistent approach gives the hopeful RC helicopter operator an edge of those individuals that have little patience.
At the time that a consumer begins choosing from all of the RC toys and kits available, it should be realized that many of the kits come with assembly required. Instructions are offered with RC helicopters, but they must be implemented correctly or the RC toy will not work at all when it comes time for the flying session. This is so true when it comes to RC helicopters; even a loosely fitting part, or an improperly placed piece can cause the helicopter to lose its aerodynamic properties; when that happens, the RC helicopter will not lift off properly and the wind will not be able to aid in the support of the helicopter. For this reason, once the entire kit is put together, the RC helicopter owner might very well want to take a trip to the local hobby shop to have experts give the item a once over; this checking system will ensure that everything is put together appropriately.
Finally, during RC helicopter flying sessions, one must take certain precautions to, not only protect the RC helicopter, but to protect one's self and others too. The RC helicopter blades can prove to be quite damaging when coming into contact with other objects and can even cut an individual; this is why this item should never be used in enclosed spaces or too near other people. Instead, RC helicopters and many RC toys are far better when enjoyed outdoors in open areas where there is plenty of space to enjoy free range of motion with the RC toys in use.
Walkera Genius CP 3D Flight and Durability Test Video Clips.
Here we put this new Genius CP Helicopter to its first test of 3D and Durability by flying it indoors and crashing it so many times on hard concrete grounds. This helicopter flying on 3D mode on 3 axis Gyro simply amazed us by its ultra durable qualities where it took all those bad crashes and still kept on flying and kept on pulling 3D. what a sweet helicopter. I am in love. This FBL mini helicopter is totally perfect for beginners of 6 channel helicopter to learn to fly on and for practicing some 3D and or having fun with some 3D without worries about crashes. This thing takes crashes with a smile and keeps on flying. Another extreme challenge flight video will be up after the 3D flight and durability test video.

Electric RC Plane - Diversify Your Landing Options
If you are ready to take flight with an electric RC plane, but you don't have a large field nearby to fly one, then the 4-channel Float and Land Plane might be the answer for you!
The 4-Channel Float and Land Plane has the ability to take-off and land on both land and sea. This "specially designed" plane comes with landing gear for land, or wheels, and also comes with "floats" for landing on water. So whether you have a field to fly it in, or if you are going to the lake, you can take RC fun with you. All you have to do is remove and replace the landing gear for the terrain you are planning to use it on.
This plane has excellent control and stability, making it easier to learn with than more complex, more expensive planes. It is steady in flight and very easy to master. It also is a great plane for flying at slow speed. Flying at slow speed makes it easier to fly in restricted-space and low altitude situations, so if you are flying in a small field or above a small lake, you have better control. Overall, it is an outstanding Float plane and Land plane for all different ranges of flyer's, skilled or not.
The 4-Channel Float and Land Plane comes ready to fly (RTF). It operates with an electric motor, powered by an 11.1v 1200mah Nimh battery. The maximum operating range is approximately 800 feet and has a 4-channel remote system. The dimensions of the plane are (approximately) 16 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 10 inches high. The package includes the manual, the remote (8 AA batteries NOT included), the battery pack, and the 110v home charger. It weighs in at about 23 pounds.
Like any RC plane or helicopter, i personally would not recommend this for children under the age of 12 for the simple fact that you are flying and any loss of control can be detrimental to your plane. But, regardless of age, there is a learning curve for all "first time" flyer's. If you don't want to risk the investment, there are plenty of electric RC planes from the price range of and up. Select a little less expensive one and start you flight training in comfort of the lower cost.
The other option I would recommend, that helps with the learning curve, is to start out with an electric RC helicopter. RC helicopters are easier to get used to because they can hover making it easier to gain control, take-off, and land. But, regardless of the choice of vehicles you make, moving into the world of RC flight is an exhilarating way to take your RC fetish to the next level!

Tethered RC "Buster" Ukie aeroplane with RC elevator and throttle. Video Clips.
R/C airplane Test Stand? I haven't flown Ukie for 50 years until recently. I have never watched any Ukie videos on YouTube, but I expect someone probably has already done what I did today long ago. If so, I never saw it. But for me to try it (using my own ideas), was the challenge. Here are the results of my first attempt at RC Control Line as I continue to mix History with Present Technology. I would have no problem having someone learn the elevator sensitivity and throttle, with this setup. It is kinda like my RC Helicopter test and training stand, in some of my previous videos.

IRCHA Jamboree- Radio Control Helicopter Competition On YouTube.
IRCHA Jamboree- Radio Control Helicopter Competition The International Radio Controlled Helicopter Association (IRCHA) was founded in 1989 by helicopter pilot Don Chapman. IRCHA is a Special Interest Group (SIG) that represents the interests of helicopter pilots within the AMA. IRCHA hosted its first Jamboree in Dayton, Ohio in 1992. The following year the event was held in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. From 1994 through the year 2000, the Jamboree found a home in Hebron, Ohio which is located outside of the city of Columbus. Following the sale of the property in Hebron, Ron Kummer approached the AMA about using the flying site in Muncie for the Jamboree. The Jamboree immediately followed the helicopter world championships in 2001 and despite the tragedy that occurred that September when the airlines shut down, the Jamboree attracted around 200 pilots. The IRCHA Jamboree has been held at AMA headquarters ever since. This year, aside from the 3D flying (and there was plenty of that!), a pit area and flight station were set aside for scale and vintage helicopter flying. Much to my surprise, this was just to the right of show center. In Peter Wales book on scale helicopter flying he mentions that people get bored with 3D helicopter antics, but if you break out a scale helicopter people will stop what they are doing and watch. This was clearly in evidence as any time one of the larger scale helicopters took to the air the video cameras were rolling and the still cameras (mine ...

Flying remote control helicopters is a great way relieve stress and be entertained by where you can fly the helicopter; however they do require some patience, good eye and hand coordination and practice. After taking the helicopter from the box, the first step is to read the instruction manual and make sure that it is intact. When purchasing a RC helicopter, it is best to find one that has at least four channels with adequate backup or technical support to call on if you need to do so. Some of the best remote control helicopters are manufactured by companies in Britain.
Learning how to fly RC helicopters is not extremely hard but there are a few basic facts to keep in mind. The remote control helicopters are controlled by radio waves; with the lift powered by the way the helicopter blades turn against the air and the direction is controlled by the pitch or direction of the tail rotor. One good idea is to have an experienced flyer help when you are starting to fly RC helicopters because he or she can give you tips on the best way to master the tiny tricks that make you a better flyer and able to handle flying the radio controlled helicopter in a faster amount of time.
The importance of making sure the connections on your RC helicopter all are correctly wired and tightened cannot be stressed too much, without the proper tension, the helicopter won't fly correctly and or can crash, bringing a halt to your hobby for a while. It is best to search for repair instructions and spare parts if they are not included with your kit. It is best to follow a checklist whenever you are learning how to fly your radio controlled helicopter; this is where doing everything the same for set up and starting will keep you and your helicopter safe.
To control the RC helicopter, you need to be able to operate the collective and rudder at the same time; both of them act together to make your helicopter move up, down, sideways, forwards and backwards. If you have a person helping you, you can use the buddy system which enables the instructor to explain and show how to fly the RC helicopter. To make the radio controlled helicopter, the controller on the left is the throttle, it controls how high or fast the helicopter is going, the right controller is used to control direction.
It is better to practice doing small maneuvers at first, before venturing into more challenging areas. Many people who are in the process of learning how to fly radio controlled helicopters invest in a simulator to help them learn how to maneuver, a crash on the simulator is much cheaper then crashing your RC helicopter outdoors, then having to pay for expensive parts to repair the helicopter. Flying remote controlled helicopters is a great way to spend time outdoors and making the helicopter hover and dive or do acrobatics. Keep practicing and find other people who enjoy flying RC helicopters as well as watching video or DVD's to improve your skills and your will have a lifelong hobby to entertain and amuse yourself and those around who will want to learn how to fly RC helicopters.
Align Trex RC Helicopters: Trex 100S Shopping Guide For You
Align Trex RC Helicopters are considered the high end in the RC helicopter hobby. Prices on these guys can go anywhere from for a bare bones helicopter and can go upwards of ,700 and more for the more complex combo kits. But then again Align is considered the top RC helicopter manufacturer. The bigger Trex Align Helis are not meant for the beginner. You don't want to take one of the babies out without any experience and crash it. Make no mistake because these helicopters are the Mac Daddy of RC Helicopters.
In this article we are going to cover the Align Trex 100S, this is the companies first micro sized helicopter. Weighing in at 32g this little on can fit in the palm of your hands. The 100S is intended for the beginner in RC aviation and designed to survive crashes. But it looks as though Align has incorporated all the quality of their big helicopters in this small package. Align Trex RC Helicopters are well known for not coming completely assembled and the 100S is not an exception. Although not as complex as the larger Trex Align Helis, basically all the assembly entails is popping the head onto the main shaft, two ball links, tighten up the "Jesus Bolt" and pop on the canopy and your ready to fly! It has been called the fastest box to flight of any Align Trex yet! Like other micro RC helicopters of its class this one is no different, the 100S is really not intended for outdoor use unless there is virtually no wind and is more intended for indoor use.
The super combo kit for the Align Trex 100S consists of a 2.4 GHz transmitter that also doubles as a flight battery charger and simulator, two lithium polymer batteries, a dual lithium polymer battery charger, a flight simulator cable and software, USB cable for charging (NEW) and 4 AA rechargeable batteries. The standard combo pack includes all of the above except for the lithium polymer charger and rechargeable AA batteries. The super combo kit for these Align Trex RC Helicopters is around 5, standard combo goes for around 0
As mentioned above and this is REALLY a huge selling point for beginners, this Align Trex comes with flight simulator software! you can learn to fly your new 100s before even actually taking to the air with it! This is essential as the prices of these mini's as compared to others is quite expensive so it would prudent for a beginner to learn how to fly and maneuver these Align Trex RC Helicopters virtually before actually flying one in real life. Being that the 100S is a fixed pitch rotor it should not be too much of a lesson to fly one as fixed pitched RC helicopters are known to be within the beginner's realm and easy to control.
Review - Syma S107 Metal Series, RC Helicopter (1/2) On YouTube.
Facebook: www.facebook.com/xenonproject Twitter: wwww.twitter.com/xenonproject www.xenonproject.com Interesting Review on the Ready-To-Fly Syma S107, Metal series - 3 channel Helicopter. The RC hobby has always been driven by technological innovation. The Syma S107 helicopter is the latest benefactor of this continual push toward the future. Using the same physical concepts that drive a gyroscope, the S107 flies with unprecedented stability for a helicopter of its size. With the S107, you can now achieve the hovering stability and responsive controls of a higher end 4-channel helicopter at a fraction of the cost and bulk! Its portable size is perfect for today's mover and shaker - the S107 charged via the included USB cable, making it possible for you to work on your laptop computer while your S107 charges for a quick flight during your study or work breaks. The amazing performance capabilities of the S107 makes it a great practice or toy 'copter for all pilots, from beginners trying to learn the dynamics of rotary flight to more advanced pilots looking to practice their moves and maneuvers on an inexpensive heli. Beyond its advanced engineering and aerodynamic performance, Syma's S107 has a revamped, aggressive design wonderfully suited to its hardy, stable flight patterns. The visually appealing colors and accents decorating the helicopter overlay a solid steel casing that houses the well-engineered rotary motor. To say that we're all rather in love with this product is ...
If there is an area where RC has advanced dramatically, it is in simulators. RC flight simulators used to be cheesy, but now are outstanding.
A Remote Control flight simulator is a computer software program in a video game format that allows you to replicate the feeling of flying an actual RC model airplane on your PC. The idea of flight simulation computer games was developed with some of the earliest gaming computers. The early flight simulators were not useful for RC training because the programs and graphics were still rather primitive.
The recent increased capacity for gaming and graphic reproductions as well as the more wide spread availability of Personal computers has led to a surge in the production and sales of flight simulator programs designed to simulate remote controlled flight. The best programs use a transmitter that is the same as the one used in actual flight situations. The transmitter is connected to the computer via a USB cable. Signals from the transmitter operate the simulated plane in the gaming display on the monitor exactly as a RC model would respond in actual flight.
The training possibilities are what make the flight simulator much more than just another computer game. The ability to simulate the exact conditions and feel of a real RC model plane allows a person to perfect his flying skills on the simulator without risk to his expensive actual RC model. The simple basic landing and takeoffs can be practiced until they can be done perfectly. The more advanced maneuvers can be practiced again and again until perfection is achieved. Then you are ready to try them out with a real plane.
Some of the better simulator programs include the Great Planes Realflight G3.5. It is considered by many to be the best software available. The G3.5 has several expansion modules that can be used with the basic program. This gives a person a wide choice of airplane types and graphic backgrounds. The Aerofly Pro Deluxe RC Flight simulator is another highly rated choice. It is possible to adapt your own transmitter for use with the software which gives an exact reproduction of the feel of the controls.
A third highly rated software program is the Reflex XTR. One of the features of these high quality flight simulators is the ability to reproduce not only various flying environments, but also weather and visibility conditions. Some can reproduce night flying or simulate out of sight control of the aircraft when it flies behind an object and out of line of sight. Most Hobby Shops that sell RC vehicles will carry the RC flight simulators or have information on how to obtain them. As the motto of one highly rated flight simulator promises, first they will teach you how to fly an RC model plane and then they will make you an expert.
Blade 400 Helicopter-Part II, Test Ride On YouTube.
This is the Pitch Curve and Trimming flights of the Blade 400. This is my Electronic and Mechanical "break in" period. It allows me to test and trim my equipment before really getting aggressive. It also allows me to find out the characteristics of this heli's flight. It is all part of the learning curve when flying a new helicopter. So now that I have it trimmed, I will present a more aggressive flight when my fingers don't get so cold next time. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.
Most of us are familiar with the two letter combination of R and C and what it means. When used together, they stand for the phrase "radio control." A growing number of aspiring and wannabe aviators are choosing to spend a large portion of their leisure time at the controls of an electric RC plane.
The pleasures enjoyed by those who fly model planes increases, if and when the hobbyist takes the time to learn a few principle terms. Those who have just begun to pursue RC flying normally operate a control with three different channels. The smart hobbyist learns the technical name for the thing that is controlled by each channel.
Every electric RC airplane will have a motor and a rudder. Two of the three channels in the controlling device will allow for remote operation of the motor and rudder. The third channel controls the elevator which determines the degree to which the aircraft will rise above the ground.
While hardly a new hobby, the growing numbers of enthusiasts who fly an electric RC plane--fueled by design improvements that make flying easier to learn and less expensive--do serve to illustrate the general public's fascination with flight. In turn, the increase in RC adherents continues to spur important innovations, such as brushless motors, electronic speed controls (ESC), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries and spread spectrum radio systems.
Thanks to the introduction of 2.4 GHz spread spectrum technology, those who fly RC can now enjoy interference-free flying. If you are just starting out, consider purchasing a 2.4 GHz radio system as opposed to a traditional narrow-band set. That way you'll never have to worry about another pilot getting on your frequency and causing you to stall out or crash.

Where To Find RC Helicopters For Sale And What To Look For
RC helicopters are a growing trend in the hobby world. They offer enjoyment for both kids and adults, both in the flying of them and, for the enthusiast, the building and customization. But buying an RC helicopter can be a pricey investment, so the potential buyer should make sure to understand what they are buying and where to find exactly what it is that suits them best.
Finding RC helicopters for sale is a fairly easy task. The complication comes in deciding whether what one store has for sale is best for the individual buying. Hobby stores are a great place to find RC helicopters, as are online hobby sites. These sites often contain a great deal of information as well, allowing the buyer to browse through the different options. Some sites are even devoted purely to RC helicopters, and thus provide the greatest variety of options. Major toy stores also carry RC helicopters, though the selection may be more oriented to the casual flyer or towards cheaper-end products that are better for kids rather than the devotee. Auction sites are good places to find RC helicopters for sale, but this may leave the buyer settling as opposed to getting exactly what they want.
When shopping, a potential buyer should be aware of the various options available to them and the relevance of these options. The prices of RC helicopters can vary greatly depending on the size and quality. Larger copters are going to require more fuel, and usually gas as opposed to the electricity that smaller copters use. Larger copters are much easier to control. Larger copters are also more expensive. The amount of money that the buyer is willing to pay should reflect their interest in the hobby. If the hobby is just going to be part-time, then buying a larger and more expensive copter might not be the best idea. There is the issue of how much the buyer wishes to customize the copter as well. A small, electric, and pre-built copter would be an excellent choice for a child's birthday present, but a poor choice to an RC devotee.
RC helicopters can be quite fun, but a new buyer should definitely do their homework before making a commitment. Being aware of how seriously one is going to take the hobby allows the buyer to pick and choose the options that suit them best. This can save a lot of time, grief, and money in the long run. If unsure, buying a smaller copter and trying it out might be the best way to go. If the hobby turns into a passion then a larger copter will be easier to purchase when the buyer understands more about what they like in their machine. Finding RC helicopters for sale is easy, but buying the right one a little less so. Knowledge is the key to making the right decision and maximizing one's enjoyment.
With all the popularity surrounding RC helicopters these days you probably feel as though you need to get into this before you get left behind, and you'd be about right! RC helicopters are a fun and exciting hobby that combines your imagination and skills to provide an afternoon of flying fun for people of most ages. You may have many questions however, on just how to get started, and that's what we'll endeavor to answer here.
If you are brand new to the hobby of RC helicopters or aircraft, then you'd be well advised to start out with an electric model RC helicopter. They have many advantages, not the least of which is that the learning curve and maintenance issues are very easy with electric RC helicopters, as opposed to their gas counterparts. They are also very much less expensive than gas models, and with all the fuel and assorted accessories necessary to flight operations with a gas model, my conclusion is that for beginners, electric RC helicopters are the only way to go!
Learning how to fly your RC helicopter is the next big hurdle, and it can be overcome by scouring the instruction manual, and getting advice from other RC hobbyists. You'll find them everywhere you go to fly your bird! There are now coaxial electric RC helicopters that have twin rotor blades, which spin in opposite directions, thus eliminating the need for a tail rotor and making actually flying one of these birds a lot easier!
Many times electric RC helicopters come RTF (ready to fly) and this can get you started fast, getting you in the air quicker. After all, you want to pilot one of these, not be part of the ground crew forever! Take care to master the basics of flight first, and not attempt too many daring maneuvers until you get the hang of piloting of these small wonders. If you crash and burn too many times starting off, it may not only be an expensive start, but may also sour you on the whole thing.
Getting started with RC helicopters is very easy to do nowadays, as the electric models at least can be found in almost any toy store. Get yours today and start soaring!
I love spending time with my kids. We play all kinds of games, but being the odd father that I am I like to try and find new twists to common games my kids enjoy. One day we went to their school fund raising carnival - you know, the over priced food, the cheap games and activities with prices that would make Disney blush. Well we were there and one of the activities they had was the classic "Fishing Pond". There was a ratty sheet strung between two poles with a couple of junior high kids behind it connecting cheap prizes to cheap poles and tossing them out to any angler that came along. Now, I don't mean to belittle a time honored classic carnival game like the fish pond, but as I stood there watching child after child saunter up, toss their line over and wait for the telling tug that signaled the arrival of a really great sticker, an ugly plastic bug or an enigmatic Chinese finger trap I thought, "Surely there's a better way". I began to think of how I could modify the fish pond game and make it a bit more exciting. With the help of my site, RCPlanePro.com and Art-Tech, I think I've succeeded. Behold, RC Helicopter Fishing!
Required Supplies
One of the best things about RC Helicopter fishing is that it doesn't require much to make it a smashing success. All you'll need is the following:
• A quality micro RC Helicopter - I got my Art-Tech Micro from my own website, RCPlanePro.com, but any quality micro heli will work.
• A length of string - Make sure you have enough to compensate for the downdraft produced by the helicopter rotors (more on that in a minute).
• A small, but relatively strong magnet.
• A roll of craft magnet, preferably with adhesive on one side (the kind you can get in any craft or hobby store that you can cut to a specific size). You can also substitute paperclips for the craft magnet, but the paperclips don't work as well.
• A hot glue gun complete with a glue stick.
• Several cutouts of funky looking fish (I typically plan on two or three fish per participant)
• A marker - doesn't matter what color, just try to get one that won't bleed through the paper fish you have.
• Tape - this is to attach the string to your helicopter, so be choosy what tape you use. I prefer painters tape since it never leaves marks or smudges on my helicopter, though it's not as strong as masking tape.
• A blue sheet, towel or rug.
• Other decorations as available depending on how elaborate you want your pond.
• Prizes for the participants.
Preparation
Know Your Down Current
One of the most important things you can do to prepare your helicopter fish pond is to know the down current your helicopter produces. The down current is simply the force of air being pushed down as a result of the spinning rotors. Different helicopters produce varying amounts of wind. You need to know how much down current your copter produces so you can apply weight to your fish appropriately - you don't want the helicopter to blow away all the fish before the kids have a chance to catch them!
The helicopter's down current is one of the main reasons that paperclips are less effective than the heavier magnet option. So to test this, I suggest cutting out your fish and then placing various sized magnet pieces on them - without the adhesive exposed - and then flying your helicopter over the fish to see if they blow away; if they do, add more magnet.
Another option for this is to use slightly heavier magnets and glue the magnets to the fish. Again, you need to be careful with this since you need to make sure the helicopter can lift the fish off the ground!
Get the Right Length of String
Once you know how heavy your fish need to be, you want to determine the length of string to attach to the helicopter. This is an important step since you don't want the down current from your copter to cause the string to move in wide circles - that makes it really hard for the kids to catch a fish.
The best way to figure what length of string you need is simply to test it. I'm sure there's some snazzy mathematical equation out there that someone who is smarter than me could apply to figure it out the first time, but I'm not the guy. I go the old school route of trial and error. By the way, if you happen to be that smart guy, let me know your fancy equation so I can save some string. On with the regular old way...
I suggest starting with a piece of string about 2.5 feet long, that's generally enough to keep the magnet-weighted string stable. Tape the string to the bottom of your helicopter just a little back of the nose. The reason for putting the string here as opposed to right in the middle of the helicopter is that when most RC helicopters move, their nose dips just a little; if the string is attached in a place where it can get closer to the fish as a result of this dip, it makes it easier for kids to be successful. You may want to consider two pieces of tape for extra security for when you've captured a dangling fish.
Use the hot glue gun to glue the magnet to the far end of the string - the end that is not attached to the helicopter. Once the string and magnet are secure, lift off and start by simply hovering in one place. Make sure all of the string is off the ground so you don't get a false positive on this test due to ground friction. When the helicopter is up, let it hover for around 30 seconds and watch the amount of rotation you get on your string. If you don't have much, move on to negotiating a few twists and turns with your helicopter and again, watch how the string behaves.
If you find that you're getting a lot of string rotation, simply land and tape a slightly longer piece of string to your copter. The idea is to get the magnet end of the string far enough away from the rotors that it is not affected by the down current. Continue testing string lengths until you find one that allows the magnet to hang pretty steady without much rotation.
The Fish and the Pond
Now that you know your helicopter is all set up it's time to ready the fish and the pond. For the fish, simply find some good fish cutouts online and print them off. You could print them in color or you could print them in black and white and then have the kids color them prior to fishing for them. I prefer the latter since it engages the kids and really gets them wondering about the activity as they are coloring.
When the fish are printed or colored, cut them out and use a pen or marker to write a number on the back. Each number is associated with a prize the child wins for catching the fish. Alternately, you could have all different looking fish and have the type of fish correspond to a prize, it just depends on how many fish you need and can find.
Peel off the adhesive side of your magnet piece, or pieces, and stick them to the fish up close to their lips. As with attaching the string near the nose of your helicopter, putting the magnets close to the fish lips makes it a little easier for the kids to catch them.
When your fish are ready use the blue sheet or towel or whatever you have chosen to use, and spread it out on the floor where the game will take place. Don't worry about getting the sheet totally flat; in fact, a few wrinkles are good because they look sort of like waves and help some of the magnetized fish lips stick up making them a little easier to catch.
I like to decorate the pond with various plastic trees and maybe a log or three and anything else that comes to mind. Sometimes I have added aliens, others stuffed animals and once or twice some random "junk metal" as obstacles the kids need to avoid. Just take a few minutes to think about whatever would make the activity more fun for the kids.
Going Fishing
When everything is set up and your helicopter is fully charged, let the crazy fishing begin! You can make you own rules according to the kids you have, but I typically like to let the kids fish for 90 seconds unless they catch something first. One catch per turn or ninety seconds, then switch. Go through the kids until each child has caught at least one fish and earned a prize. Depending on your budget, though, you might let them catch two, three or more fish! They'll be having so much fun they'll go until your helicopter dies or you run out of fish.
Tips
Here are some tips to consider before unleashing the kids on the game:
1- Test the game before the kids play. Make sure the string doesn't rotate, make sure the helicopter can lift the magnetized fish and that you have enough space to allow for kids not being the best pilots.
2- Have a spare battery or other activities you can do while the helicopter recharges - consider giving the kids a time limit to catch a fish. Most RC helicopters take about 30-45 minutes to recharge their batteries - that can be a long time for a group of antsy kids to wait! So if you have a battery backup or other planned activities while the battery charges, you won't have as great a risk of a child uprising.
3- Turn off any indoor fans or ceiling fans. The air currents caused by these fans can disrupt the flight pattern of the micro helicopter making it difficult for the kids to pilot.
4- If you're playing with younger kids who have a hard time piloting the helicopter, instead of using magnets on the fish, simply use large cutouts of fish (they still need to be weighted) and have the kids simply land - or crash - the helicopter on them to win. I have used lily pads with frogs for weights and that worked great.
If you have any other tips to consider, please let me know. Also, if you have tried RC helicopter fishing, let me know how it went. And if you happen to be that guy that's smarter than me and knows the funky math equations for the string, you better hit me up. Have fun kiddies, it's way better than the ratty sheet-plastic bug version!
There's A Walkera RC Helicopter For Every Hobbyist
To actually fly a radio controlled helicopter has gotten to be a very exciting pastime. With the new developments in technology Walkera RC Helicopter has risen to the challenge. That challenge is to build RC Helicopters that will fit any budget and reach any skill level to satisfy to most experience pilots.
Radio controlled Helicopter flight has long been a hobby open to professional RC pilots with lots of money. Sure the technology was available at a price and so was the level of complexity. RC beginners almost had no chance without the help of an experienced RC pilot.
RC Helicopters were primarily run on nitro fuels and were complicated to tune and get them running right so you could try to fly. But today the industry has made a switch to electric motors and computerized radios in the 2.4 MHz band. Gone are the days of interference causing you to crash? Gone are the days when you had to worry about someone else using a radio on the same frequency as your transmitter?
Cost is always a big question for many and today we can fly indoors or outside at the airfield. Fantastic flight characteristics are available for indoor flight at prices under and go up into the hundreds of dollars. RC Helicopter models to fly outdoors that are still fun to fly will start at about . As the level of complexity goes up so does the price which can run up into thousands of dollars.
Many believe the cheap one is not worth the money. This is a mistake because they are very sophisticated technological marvels that are very durable. The cheap RC Helicopters are considered toys and bought for kids but when you see them fly and crash hundreds of times without damage you are sure to be impressed.
These toys are loaded with real value and should you break something their replacements parts are available to get you flying again in no time. Many are even upgradable will longer lasting rechargeable batteries and bigger more powerful electric motors. More advanced models have lots of options and can be more expensive. So start out with the cheap RC Helicopters to learn on then move up to the more advanced.
Buying Tips
First things first the Internet is the place to go to get a little information about Helicopters and the new technologies we have today. As the title of the article states there is a Walkera RC Helicopter for everyone. Online you can find many Walkera RC Helicopter flight reviews and forums where you can learn all you need to know about models and flying them.
Jumping into the big expensive collective pitch Helicopters has a learning curve to deal with. If this is your ultimate goal then join one of the many Helicopter flying clubs. There you can learn from many of the more experienced pilots. We have many Helicopter flight simulators and many have been successful at learning to fly some of the more complicated collective pitch big Helicopters using them.
