Flying a remote controlled helicopter can be very exciting and at the same time very challenging if you are a beginner. A RC helicopter toy can be intimidating to beginners because of their versatility, compared with other vehicles a helicopter can move in any direction and perform 360 degree turns. For a beginner I would recommend a Dual-rotor aka (coaxial rotor) helicopter, Coaxial rotors provide a smother flight stability, these type of helicopters don't usually have a tail rotor. Because each coaxial rotor spins in opposite directions the pilot can turn by applying more force to either rotor making it easier to learn to fly. But if you prefer more of a challenge I would try flying a heli with a single rotor which consists of the main rotor and tail rotor.
These type's of remote controlled helicopters are more difficult to fly because you must learn to control both rotors. These rotors work together to provide stability and maneuverability to the heli, learning to apply the correct force to the main rotor and tail rotor are essential for flying, of course there are other factors that contribute to the stability of your unit such as balancing the blades.
A RC helicopter simulator is a great way to practice flying without the fear of costly repairs. Flying a RC helicopter toy is a great experience and shouldn't' t be a hassle, learning more about this hobby is rewarding. When flying a heli for the first time it's a great idea to start flying lightly and not apply to much force to the control panel to find out how much throttle is needed to hover. Practicing on simulator is the best way to practice without having to worry about damaging your RC helicopter. Learning to fly your remote controlled helicopter takes time and patience so take it easy and stick with the basics and you'll be a master pilot in no time.
