Little toy R/C helicopters
 

The ones made from foam type material that you can fly indoors.
Which one is the best for around £30?

This one looks ok for £20

Bladerunner Black Ghost - I Want One Of Those

I have had them all and they are without exception crap!

I now have this which is absolutely fantastic, stable, reliable and it works every single time!

RC Robocopter

To be honest they are fun for about five minutes until you either break it, get bored of it or.. in the case of my brother.. fly it into the fire place. Brought new meaning to crash and burn for me.

That's not to say they aren't worth the money for xmas. Play have them for around £10 though.

I would say best = cheapest for these things.

We have the robocopter. It's a bit more stable than the typical copter but it's still not amazing imo.

I got a pair from RED5 and me and my daughter found them good fun for an hour or so... a bit tricky to get used to but they did work they didn't break and we did get a few spare blades in the box. Where are they now...in the loft with all the rest of the junk. :D

I bought this Mini Remote Controlled Helicopter : GADGETS - REMOTE CONTROL : memorybits.co.uk and it was fun for a while.

I've got two of the polystyrene ones, ok for starters.

Enjoyed crashing them into everything in the lounge.


Got this one now, 3 channel, lot more precise control and can be flown inside.

RC Bladez3D - Thumbs Up (UK) Ltd

That looks pretty good from the video.

I guess it's a case of, you get what you pay for then?

I've got one similar to this and is good fun flying about the kitchen and lounge

Play.com (UK) : Silverlit: X-Rotor R/C Picoo Z Apache Military Micro Helicopter : Gadgets - Free Delivery

Like the look of that Bladez3D though.

I'm hoping Father Christmas remembers I've been good this year

Don't be silly you lot............

You want one of these! :D :Suspiciou


YouTube - Killer RC Helicopter

i like the look of this one

Micro Bladez Apache : Thumbs Up (UK) Ltd

This looks more fun: YouTube - SHOT THE RC PLANE WITH BIG GUNS

Although I am slightly worried about the firepower available there ...

If you want something that can actually achieve stable flight check this shop out RC Electric Helicopters / Radio Control Helicopters Specialist - RCMODS particularly the buyers guide.

Then wave goodbye to all you cash as you become addicted to your new hobby :D

Go On Nitrotek.co.uk

They have some awesome stuff for the money!:notworthy

Saw a little UFO copter being demonstrated in Rackhams the other day.Looked great!

More of just a hover job though than flying around.Tempted

OP - You'll regret it!

Do they open fridges and pick up cans of lager? If so it would be perfect for me not getting off my lazy ass, if not, then I have better things to do with my time, like go to the fridge for a can of lager :thumb:
