Types of R/C Helicopter
Nitro (nitromethane-methanol internal combustion)
Electric ,
Gas turbine ,
Petrol / gasoline
Several basic designs of RC helicopters exist, some more maneuverable than
others. The more maneuverable designs are often harder to fly, but benefit from
greater aerobatic capabilities.
Flight controls -- effected by means of small servo motors -- allow pilots
to control the collective and throttle (usually linked together), the cyclic
controls (pitch and roll), and the tail rotor (yaw).
The engines used are typically methanol-powered two-stroke motors, but gasoline,
jet turbine and increasingly electric brushless motors combined with a
high-performance lithium polymer battery are also used.
