If you are having any doubts as to why you should be flying Electric RC Helicopters, here are the reasons you should switch, (or start out, as the case may be!) flying Electric RC helicopters instead of gas. RC helicopters are a fascinating hobby, one that captures the imagination of young and old alike, a hobby that engages both the imagination as well as fine motor skills.
Unlike their gas counterparts, electric RC helicopters are quiet, environmentally clean, and don't require you to have to join a flying club and go to fly at particular places and at certain times. With electric RC helicopters they are seldom limited as to where and when you can fly. No Arduous Maintenance - Gas helicopters force you to maintain a number of mechanisms regarding the engine and flight operations. Maintaining a gas engine has its issues, but with an electric RC helicopter, these issues are mostly a thing of the past. No more hauling gas and oil, as well as an extensive toolkit to fly your bird!
Easy to Fly - Unlike gas RC helicopters, which often are at best temperamental, and at worst, often decide to stall out in mid-air, leaving your expensive model to come crashing to an ignoble end on the ground. Gas RC helicopters and their phalanx of accessories can set you back hundreds if not thousands of dollars, whereas electric RC helicopters usually come in under a couple hundred bucks.
