I need information about remote control Helicopters?

I am wanting to buy my husband a remote control helicopter for his birthday. He has been talking about them lately and i want to surprise him with one. Problem is, i have NO idea where to start, what to get, where to go, what is a good price, brand, etc

Can anyone help me out?
I am in Australia

Believe it or not but Hobby Lobby carries them. Also, see if there is a Hobby Store in your neck of the woods, they could supply you with one to one info, then again, you may luck out and find a knowledgeable person in that area at Hobby Lobby. Also, check with your local County Office, to see if there is any Model Helicopter Clubs in your area, now those would be the primo people to talk to about Model Helicopters. Good Luck and he’s lucky he has someone who listens.

remote controlled helicopter for young boy?

I’m looking to buy a remote controlled helicopter for a young boy. How old do you have to be to control one of these?? He’s 10.

Sounds plenty old enought. Airhogs makes so pretty cool rc heli’s, they are also easy to control. They use a duel propeler type technology to make it easy to control and durable

Whether you flying electric remote helicopter model or using nitro rc engine. Here are some of the tips if you want to purchase remote control helicopter:
  • Electric remote control helicopter model or not : actually this will impact with the price, in common case that none electric rc powered are more in price, so if you prefer to purchase cheaper remote control helicopter, i suggest to buy electric remote control helicopter. Besides, it’s more simple to maintenance and operate.
  • Ourdoor or Indoor remote control helicopter Flying : If you prefer to flying remote control helicopter outdoor, i suggest to buy gas remote control helicopter, it’s because flying ourdoor need more powerful rc engine than indoor. If you have larger remote control helicopter, it will offer more control in windy situations so a mini remote control helicopter may not be the best choice if you will fly in wind often.
  • Choose top quality remote control helicopter model : It’s non mechanical tips, because it’s depend on some people experience when purchasing certain remote control helicopter model from hobby shop. I get informations that some of great electric remote control helicopter model for beginner are The Esky Honey Bee 2, Esky Honey Bee CP3, and the Art-Tech Falcon 3D V3 models. If you want to purchase electric remote control helicopter, some people recommend the Align T-REX 450, Align T-REX CF 600, Guai Hurricane 425, and Guai Hurricane 550 models. But if you prefer to purchase nitro remote control helicopter model, the Align T-REX 700 Nitro Pro models and the Align T-REX 600 Nitro Pro are best choices.

Hope some remote control helicopter tips above will help.
