Electric RC helicopters have enjoyed a surge of popularity because of recent significant improvements in radio and electronics industry. In order to improve their quality and components at the same time, at the same time more and more affordable in price, many manufacturers start beginners models as RTF or "Ready to Fly" refers to - but are they?
In fact, the phrase "ready to fly" in the days of aviation "traditional" RC born. What is really meant, at least initially, was "necessaryNo mounting. "It does not mean that the RTF kits do not require set-up, tuning, DIY, or before he could take flight.

Today, however, expect the new drivers just started this hobby, that their new model, called "flying out of the box", is labeled to do just that. Unfortunately this is not always the case.
Very often make novice pilots, helicopter RTF is not "ready to fly" when he learned that takes in air is quite difficult, especially forFour-channel models. While there are co-axle trucks available, which are relatively easy to handle, but will also require hours of training.
In addition, this helicopter with the rotor blades rotate at high speed causing serious injury. Why would anyone want an out-of-control helicopters of all sizes in their vicinity. Many soon found that even for this aircraft Rich, the best approach is to learn the first time in a simulator. This fact alone means that the easiest way to flyRTF Helicopter takes practice and, often, many of whom - upset the "right to fly out of the box" term.
RTF helicopter does not always with everything you need to fly, as most people would think either. The most common missing component is the battery for the wireless controller - are usually a rack with battery, 4 to 8 AA alkaline batteries. Leaflets usually more severe end up buying a rechargeable battery is not very long after their first purchaseIncluded in the kit.
Another popular component is missing a charger. This kit usually comes with rich very rudimentary adapter directly into a battery, which by all accounts no one "charge". You do not even know how to cut the electricity when the battery is fully charged (which, incidentally, can lead to overload and, ultimately, the explosion of the battery). In fact, many find it ironic that these RTF kits a battery but no charger included.
OnlyRecently, the issue has been addressed and some new models (like the Esky LAMA IV) have an appropriate charger.
However, there are some helicopters that are truly "ready to fly" right out of the window. These are the 2-channel models, such as the famous Pico Z. Not only are they ready to fly, is handheld, so for them a little 'wherever it is that calm to be flown. These small aircraft are also quite durable, so that it falls to resistCrash. However, they are much less manageable four-channel models.
All told, there are many types of kits RTF and some are "ready to fly" than others. Those models work seamlessly right out of the box can decide to settle for 2-channel models, affect maneuverability. On the other hand, those who are most capable of flight models will go for 4-channel models, only to find that they are so ready to fly as advertised. However, this kit a great RTFLesson to teach new enthusiasts in this hobby, flying as well as to enjoy infinite set, edit and update their models.
