If you are in the market for radio control helicopters, then chances are you want to find the one that will be most interesting for your child. Many people think that the thing that will be most interesting is the number of channels, but the truth is that this can actually be frustrating for younger children and those who are beginners at flying. There are some other features that can be a great idea to look for in the radio control helicopters that you buy for your child and knowing about them can help you get the best possible gift for your child.

While cranes may not be something that you would initially think of, they are an interesting feature that some radio control helicopters offer. This is a fun feature because it allows children to put items on the crane and move them around while flying the helicopter. This is great for children to incorporate their imagination and other toys. For instance, they can move around building blocks to help create a new building. Depending on the type of crane, you may even be able to dump items from it as well.

Another interesting feature is the newest fad in radio control helicopters, which is a camera. There are a few ways that this can be done, either as a digital camera, a video camera or both. They give you the ability to record the flight that you take and in some cases you may even be able to stream this live on the internet and watch it while it is being flown. This can be a great way to take pictures around town or even just to teach your child about geography and photography all at the same time. If there is not a live stream, usually the helicopter has an external memory that will allow the child to upload the media onto the computer or various social networking sites.

The best thing with these features is that they do not have to come alone, as there are some that incorporate them together and even with other features, such as lights, sirens and even glow in the dark features, which makes it a great gift for your adventurous and fun loving child. Generally though, the more features the radio control helicopters have, the more it will cost, though this should not be the deciding factor in your decision.
