The Dangers of Remote Control Gas-Powered Helicopters

I wouldn’t recommend you purchase a remote control gasoline powered helicopter unless you are really an experienced helicopter flyer and have a bit of daredevil quality to you.  Basically, these machines are dangerous, dirty, and difficult to fly, and you can really get hurt if you don’t know what you’re doing with them.

My recommendation is to stick with the lower priced electric models, and only fly them in good weather, unless you find yourself really growing bored with them.  It might be all right to purchase one of these gasoline powered models, but you should keep in mind that you need to get a permit to operate them, and they can only be operated during a specific time of day and a specific weather pattern.

These restrictions are placed on helicopter flyers because there have been reports of accidents with remote control gasoline powered helicopters crashing and burning because a spark ignited the gasoline.  As in any case, when you are working with a machine that runs on gasoline, you really need to be cautious, and the problem is that most people that are naturally cautious are just not as likely to want to purchase a remote control gasoline powered helicopter.  So you end up with these daredevils that are out flying their gasoline powered helicopters, and when one of them crashes, everyone has to look out because the person that crashed it would probably just think it was funny.  It can really grow to be a dangerous situation if not controlled.  I know about this personally, not because I was the daredevil in the situation, but rather because I was one of the people standing nearby when a daredevil crashed his remote control gasoline powered helicopters into each other one fall day.

Not only did they both burst into flames, but there were dried leaves nearby, and these leaves also ignited.  Ultimately, it turned into quite a scary conflagration, and I really am happy that I happened to be playing in the sand near a water source with my son, because I was able to grab one of the pails we were using for sand castles and fill it with water to put out the fire.  That was one of the very few instances in which I saw the dark side of helicopter flying, but I’m so glad I was there to prevent anyone else from getting hurt.  Of course, the person flying it didn’t care whether he had almost hurt someone, nor did he care about all the money he had lost by destroying two very nice remote control gasoline powered helicopters.  Al he cared about was that he was able to get the humongous crash on video and use it on his website showing that he was the ultimate champion in helicopter flying.

If you are interested in that side of remote control gasoline powered helicopters, then I just hope that you will fly your helicopters in an isolated area, specifically away from children.  I would never want little, innocent children to be hurt by a daredevils carelessness.

Today’s Remote Control Helicopters Have More Channels than my Old B&W

If you are really looking for some fun, then you should check out 6 channel remote control helicopters, which seem to be becoming the great new pastime.  You can purchase these really strong and powerful helicopters from your local helicopter and other electronics shop, or from a trades store, and you can use them outdoors or indoors.

They are extremely versatile, and any helicopter flyer will tell you that they are some of the most impressive technologies in helicopters out on the market today.  Specifically, the 6 channels allow you to control multiple facets of the helicopter’s flight patterns.  For instance, you can make the helicopter fly straight up, straight down, forward, backwards, and some models even let you tumble them in tight circles in the air.

Yes, this technology tends to be a little more pricey than your typical fly-straight-forward helicopter, but at the same time, these helicopters are so much more true to life.  Helicopters that are actually flown by people in cockpits, rather than people holding remotes on the ground, have many different channels-sometimes a lot more than six, even, but at least getting closer to the number of channels in a real helicopter is truly a feat.  I remember reading a little bit about these 6 channel remote control helicopters, and they were even more impressive than I had initially thought.  In addition to the control you have over all the different flight patterns, you also can customize the types of blades, the body of the helicopter, and even have a custom paint job done.  Of course, these amenities all run into more money, but the pleasure of having a 6 channel remote control helicopter that is truly original and unique to their collection sometimes outweighs the price for many helicopter enthusiasts.

So I was really surprised when own of my closest friends and a fellow helicopter flyer said that he’d had a bad experience with his 6 channel remote control helicopter.  I asked exactly what happened, and it turned out that he had left his helicopter unattended, and some young school children had found it in his backyard and taken it to a park.

They then proceeded to have a great time with it, only later returning it, in a much banged- up condition, to its rightful owner.  At first my friend didn’t even realize it had been used and just thought that the scratches and dents that he had discovered were there all along and just went unnoticed by him.  It was only after he took it to the manufacturer to inquire about the warranty that he learned the truth.  Luckily the children had some conscience and they eventually paid him back and apologized, but he has a bad opinion of 6 channel remote control helicopters since then, and the sad thing is that it’s really not the helicopter’s fault, it was just a bad experience.

Hopefully, he’ll come around someday soon, because the 6 channel remote control helicopters are really some of the best, most controllable helicopters you can buy in the world today.

Tips for Using Gas or Nitro Powered Remote Control Helicopters

In contrast to electric helicopters, there also exist gas or nitro powered remote control helicopters that you should really check out, if you think you have it in you.  Of course, the gas powered helicopters can be more work intensive, but they can also be more rewarding.  You see, it is the gas or nitro powered remote control helicopters that are capable of really showcasing the best agility level and the highest, fastest flying capabilities.

At least that’s what I’ve typically found with my helicopter purchases.  Either way, you can really have a ton of fun with gas or nitro powered remote control helicopters and if you don’t mind replacing their fuel when it runs out and working carefully to avoid fire when you’re setting them up for flight, you can really have a wonderful time.

I remember once helping another shopper with a gas or nitro powered remote control helicopter purchase, and they really found that they could have much more fun with this type of helicopter than the electric helicopter that they were using before then, because the electric one just didn’t respond as well to the remote control.  I don’t know for sure if this is the case universally, or if this particular customer found that gas or nitro powered remote control helicopters were better than electric helicopters based on a single, isolated incident, but I do know that when I discuss which helicopter is better with other professional fliers, I typically get the same answer.  Gas or nitro powered remote control helicopters are indeed more work, but they are also unparalleled in their ability to fly well.

For instance, let’s say you want to fly your helicopter further backwards than any other person and make it to the Guiness Book of World Records.  Well, I have typically heard that people find the gas helicopters to last longer-the electrical charge in electric helicopters runs out before the fuel does.  That said, the gas or nitro powered remote control helicopters are also much more expensive, and you do need to know that you have to restore the gas whenever it runs out, and cleaning the apparatus also takes more ingenuity and work.  But of course, if you’re up for the challenge, the rewards are well worth it.  Just make sure that when you purchase gas or nitro powered remote control helicopters, as with any large transaction, that you are buying from a reputable independent or commercial dealer, and you have researched the price trends in your area, so you know you’re getting the best deal you possibly can for your money.

There is little more frustrating that purchasing your first real gas or nitro powered remote control helicopter and finding out that your next door neighbor got a similar one for a lot cheaper, and is happier with it because they had money left over to take a trip out to the country and really fly it around.  The choice is up to you, but if I had to choose one, I would choose the gas helicopter over the electric one!

Where to Find Remote Control Helicopters

Where is the best place to find remote control helicopters?  I can tell you for sure that you’ll first want to look in an electronics store, such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, or Circuit City.  There you could find remote control helicopters for a pretty reasonable price and you will probably get durable model.  My recommendation for finding remote control helicopters would be to first go to your preferred company’s online site and look through the models they have for sale.

Since you probably won’t be able to use the helicopters in the actual store, it’s sometimes better to just read about them online and then order them through the company.  Yes, you may need to pay a bit extra for shipping, but I think it’s worth it.  Then when you receive the remote control helicopter, you can immediately take it out to your back yard and see how it performs.

Save the box in case it ends up not being as durable as the company promised it would be.  You should always make sure you get a warranty for your remote control helicopter because you might end up needing to send it back in exchange for a different one.  I would suggest getting one with welded sides or even a continuous plastic sheath so you don’t have to worry about it cracking or rusting.  Whatever you do, make sure you research it well and buy your helicopter from a reputable company, because you certainly don’t want to have to return it soon after you purchase it.  Your best bet would probably be Radio Shack if you want to get a good deal, but you could also try the Discovery Store or even Brookstone if you’re looking for a model that will really impress people.

You need to think about your motivation ahead of time: would you rather a model that looks flashy in the air, or one that doesn’t break if you end up crashing it into the ground?  These are things you need to consider before you make a purchase, because you might have to compromise quality for beauty or vice versa.  My recommendation is to get a remote control helicopter that can withstand the test of time and crashes, because just choosing the one that looks best to you isn’t really the best way to go about it.  If it’s pretty and you crash it, the remote control helicopter will quickly become ugly, and you should not have to deal with that.

In either case, a remote control helicopter is a great idea for fun on a bright sunny weekend, and as long as you do your research and know what you’re looking for ahead of time, you’ll be sure to get the remote control helicopter that best suits you and you can really get years of enjoyment out of it.  And if it so happens that the first one you choose turns out to be poor quality and you have to purchase another one in a short time, just know that you learned how durable they need to be, and next time you purchase a remote control helicopter, you can be a more informed consumer.
