okay so iv recently bought a mini combat force helicopter which is pretty dam fun when i got it i kind of instantly broke it not knowing how to fly it properly, i broke the back tail fin, but it still worked fine then i broke the back rotor luckly it came with a spare, then one of my friends when drunk had a go and flew it straight into the celing and broke it, im now awaiting spare parts from hong kong, but other than that those mini helicopters are loadsa fun shame they only last 5-6 mins but they take 15 mins to charge so its not all that bad i suppose. then today i got a birthday present for my birthday on saturday from my girlfirends dad, and it was a larger scale R/C helicopter was only £20 and takes 3 hours to charge but aparently only 15-20 flight time, which is a let down considering the 3 hour wait to recharge, suppose i cud buy loads of battery packs for it. but i dont know its handaling yet, i have to wait till my 18th birthday on the 26th.
R/C helicopters
Do either the old one or the new one have the dual main rotors that counter rotate each other?
nope the ones that i dont, they have a gyro balancer though that keeps the helicopters blades horizontal at all times. there only in the £20 range.
easy to damage..
esp when it at a very high place..
when battle begin.. the infra red (i think) hit your helicopter tail...
totally crashed!

Must admit flying choppers is great fun. I have one with a 4ft rotor span and a 10cc glow engine. Full 10 channel control gives you all the manouverability of a full size helicopter, and I have spent hours flying it around fields well away from people and property. It is best if you have some kind of insurance (as you should do for all radio controlled aircraft of any size) just in case you have a monor accident or heaven forbid lose control and it goes through someones window. Still gloom and doom over they are tricky to fly but when nastered give you a great sense of achievment.
i have a r/c helicopter shame its leccy tho, i want a petrol 1, i heard some rule with the law u have to over 16 2 take control of a petrol r/c helicopter!
I have 2 of the indoor ones,
They are soo fun and easy to control that even though they are as light as a feather you can fly them outside in wind without them blowing away!

I would like very much to have one of those mini helicopters.
It will be my next hobby someday!!
ok, so which is the best one out there in the market to buy?????
i was waiting for my rc heli honeybee king2 for a week now. i am so excited but unfortunately the seller did not approve my credit due to i am buying an online ticket which isn't my name and its for my mom. they kill my excitement...wtf!
Martin it is one of those "you pays your money and you get what you get" moments. There are a wide number of options these days from the small indoor machines costing tens of £ to the larger glow engine models costing hundreds. Also the bigger the chopper the more stable it tends to get and the more funtionality you get with a better radio and control gear.
Wow RC helicopters, you know what guys, I ordered a Honey Bee King 2 fron rc-helicopter but until now it didn't arrive yet. huhuhu. it so sad that they want a photocopy of my card and billing statement before they will send it to me. But I don't want to give them the copy coz I already give them my credit card no. from their site during the time I ordered it from them. I am just so excited to have a RC helicopter. can anyone recommend me a good site to buy a good quality rc helicopter? thanks.
Have you checked out http://www.raidentech.com/? I haven't ordered from them yet, but when I do get a good RC vehicle, it will be from them. They seem to have a huge selection of choppers, trucks, planes, cars, tanks, and other vehicles. I spent a couple hours looking at their stuff the first time I saw the site 
I would like to find an RC Corvette, preferably about a 69.
