If you are thinking about buying radio control helicopters for someone, be it a child or even an adult, then you are probably aware of the many different options that are out there for you to choose from. For this reason it is important that you know about the two most important features to look for when buying radio control helicopters, which are the size of the craft and the number of channels that it has.

The number of channels that the helicopter has is important and there are many different options that come with this. Usually you can get the radio control helicopters in one to six channels, though you may not be able to find all the options in any one store. The number of channels it has directly affects the different things the helicopter is able to do, such as go up and down, left and right and spin. The more channels that the helicopter has, the more it can do. One of the things you should keep in mind with this though is that the more channels it has, the more difficult it will be to control, which can make it hard for young children, though even adults may find it difficult if they are a novice.

Size is also important with the radio control helicopters. One reason is that it can help to make the unit stealthier. The downside to this is that the smaller the craft, the easier it is to break and the harder it is to see. This is why when you get one for a child, you should go with a larger one that is more sturdy. If you are buying one for an adult or teen that knows what they are doing you can actually get them as small as 4 inches.

The main thing that you should consider when you are shopping for the radio control helicopters is the abilities of the person that you are buying it for. It is a vital question to ask as a beginner will not be able to properly use a small advanced model and an expert may not like a basic large helicopter. By keeping this in mind, you will ensure that you get the radio control helicopters that the person will love and cherish and enjoy for many hours. It may also be a good idea to buy or suggest lessons for the person to help them.
