Radio-controlled models of helicopters are very popular, and not only among children. Many adults enjoy purchasing them. They have the functionality of real machines and are capable of performing various tricks in the air. There are a lot of helicopter models. And it's not so easy to figure out which one is right for you.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a helicopter as a gift for a child, take into account his age. Do not buy a model that is difficult to manage for your kid - it will be difficult for him to deal with it. A 3-4 year old child will enjoy a simple model, especially if he learns to operate it.
Step 2
However, an older child will quickly get bored with a primitive toy. At the age of 9-10, a model of a different level is required, capable of performing complex aerobatics. For example, falcon 400 v2 or falcon 400 se.
Step 3
As a gift for a teenager, you can purchase a helicopter equipped with a multi-channel control system, which allows much better control of the flight. Such a model requires management skills. 3-4 channel helicopter will be a great gift for a teenager.
Step 4
Determine where to launch the helicopter. There are indoor and outdoor models. For home use, purchase a small helicopter no larger than 20cm. It will be difficult to manage a large model indoors. Indoor helicopters are more maneuverable. Control radius - up to 10m. The charging time is 40-45 minutes. For flights in large halls or on indoor sports grounds, purchase a more voluminous model, measuring about 30-40 cm.
Step 5
Special street and professional models are designed for running on the street. They are much larger and heavier, less affected by the wind. The control radius of the street model is 40-50m, and the control radius of the professional model is 500-1000m.
Step 6
A professional model is often supplied with a simulator for training on a computer. These toys can be charged from a car battery. But they are more difficult to manage and much more expensive.
Step 7
The design of the helicopter does not affect its functionality. The only possible recommendation is to give preference to bright colors when purchasing a street model. Such helicopters are better visible against the sky.
