Choosing From Electric Helicopters and Petrol
Helicopters

Today, it is very challenging to choose a remote control helicopter. Other than the various types, models
and cost range which you have to choose from, one thing to consider is the manner your helicopter
would run.

Electric and petrol - these are the two forms of RC Helicopters. Notice that there is a big difference
among the two and it is really essential to understand the qualities of each prior to investing your
money on one.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric-Powered Remote Control Helicopters

These Electric RC helicopters are really good for beginners. They are not difficult to control and
understand than the petrol powered ones. Battery is where the engines rely to power the motors. You
only need to replace the battery packs once they're spent, that is why they are more convenient.

Nonetheless, problems can be brought by these battery packs themselves. Other than being expensive,
these take time to get fully charged. You might as well say goodbye to the fun if you're flying your
helicopter in a place where there are no power outlets.

Never mind the disadvantage; these electric RC helicopters are much safer to fly than those petrol-
powered remote control helicopters. It is because dealing with fumes is a no-no, which is normally
associated with petrol-powered helicopters. One does not have to worry about fire starting
instantaneously. Maintenance also is not needed that much, unlike the petrol powered ones.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Petrol-Powered Remote Control Helicopters

Petrol RC helicopters and Nitro-powered helicopters - most people are confused with these two. The
former uses a special type of fuel that is a mix or nitro methane, oil and methanol. The petrol (also
called gas in United States and other countries) is very different from it, in which the petrol-powered
ones use.

Inarguably, a petrol-powered RC helicopter is more powerful than the electric-powered one. The
machine functions more rapidly. Petrol RC helicopters can run up to 60mph per fill up.

Comparing to those electric counterparts of petrol, it looks and sounds more realistic. By just the sound
of its engine, one can tell immediately if it is a petrol-powered vehicle that is running. To the
neighborhoods, allowing these petrol RC vehicles around is not a common thing because of the noise
they are producing.

In comparison with electric-powered ones, petrol RC helicopters are more cost efficient. Buying battery
packs for electric RC helicopters is really expensive; on the other hand, petrol is relatively cheaper.

Nevertheless, it has also its disadvantages. Indeed, petrol can give a realistic buzz, but the user will be
dealing with its fume emissions from its engines. The fumes might be a little too difficult for you to take
if you have a breathing problem.

Petrol RC helicopters have a danger of starting a fire. In case of a fire starting, be sure to run these
machines away from the location; for petrol is combustible.
Both electric and petrol powered remote control helicopters have their respective advantages and
disadvantages. It is on the person to decide which one to invest his or her money in, but one's flying skill
level and preferences must be considered before buying mini helicopter.
