Here are some RC helicopter repair tips that you should know.

First, you have to have all the basic RC helicopter repair tools that you will need in case of damage or trouble. Some of the tools that should be included in your tool kit are adhesives, hardware, hand tools, power tools, grease, zip ties, braid kits, Velcro, and setup tools, to list down a few. It is important to keep them in one tool kit and take it whenever you go somewhere to fly your remote controlled helicopter. You can buy these from hobby shops that's ell RC helicopters or online. Some of them are miniature versions of the real tools.

Another important RC helicopter repair tips is to lubricate all the moving parts. Parts that are not properly lubricated cause a rough and unstable flight and it can also damage the blade. Make sure that you lightly lubricate the parts for a smooth and trouble-free flight.

A broken blade is another common problem with the RC chopper. This usually happens after a crash or when the RC chopper is not stored properly. It is not advisable to try to glue the blade together because this can cause the helicopter to vibrate, which is not good. The blade should be smooth for your helicopter to fly smoothly. This can be solved by replacing the broken blade with a new one. Just unscrew the old blade and place the new one. Tighten the bolt that will hold the blade. Make sure that it is not too tight or the new blade will crack.

There are many problems that you will experience once you start with this hobby. Make sure that you do your research on RC helicopter repair tips before repairing the damage. If you are not sure about what to do, take the RC chopper to an expert.

I've been very interested lately in a lot of different models of RC helicopter and as I've been doing my research trying to decide which one to buy next, I've come to realize just how many different types of RC choppers there are!

CHOPPER

The first thing you need to decide is whether or not you want to buy an indoor chopper or an outdoor chopper. Now, an indoor chopper is strictly indoors and these can usually be had for around -40 dollars. Outdoor choppers will run you more money but they are usually larger and have better performance over all.

Keep in mind that with some outdoor choppers you won't be able to fly them inside at all. They are simply too big and require too much room to maneuver to make flying them in a typical room unpractical. There are however some models that sort of blur the line between indoor and outdoor like the Madhawk 300 which is big enough to perform outside (as long as it's not TOO windy) but small enough that you can practice indoors. Once you decide on an indoor or outdoor model than you consider these types before making a purchase:

Double Co-Axial Choppers

These are your basic indoor "toy" helicopters. They are easy to fly, easy to maintain and will generally provide a great deal of fun while cruising around your apartment. They aren't suited for outdoors as the slightest breeze will take them high into the air or smash them into the ground (usually causing a lot of damage!). They make a great conversation piece for your office and are perfect for wasting a bit of time!

Single Co-Axial Choppers

Basically the same as the above except some of these are large enough to fly outdoors. They are stable enough that pretty much anyone can get them to hover and move forward without much effort. Again these are beginner choppers.

Micro RC Choppers

These are the ones that you're probably most used to seeing these days. Normally they will fit in the palm of your hand and although the basic gear underneath is usually the same, they come in a variety of styles including Military and Commercial air craft. When they first appeared on the scene these choppers were really nothing more than cool looking toys that did not fly very well but with recent advancements in the technology these choppers are VERY flyable and are perfect for beginner-intermediate users looking for an easy to fly chopper to hone their skills on.

4 and 6 Channel Choppers

These are the more advanced choppers for people who are into modding and upgrading. Probably not a good first-time chopper as they are more expensive and more prone to damage in the event of a crash (and trust me, you will crash them!).

2.4 GHz Remote Systems

These days you should always try and go with a 2.4 GHz remote system. This refers to the frequency that the choppers controls operate on and 2.4 takes up less current than the older systems. Meaning you get more flying time for each charge and in the world of RC Helicopters, flying time is what it's all about!

The Best Chopper?

Well as you can see, it really depends on your level of skill and where you want to use it. But, from personal experience I would recommend: The Syma S107 for an Indoor Chopper and the Madhawk 300 for an indoor/outdoor chopper. Both are priced very reasonably and offer great quality for the money. Please check out my link below for more detailed reviews on both of those choppers as well as other great reviews on all sorts of RC helicopters and replacement parts!

Cheers!
