New to remote control helicopters? Accessories provide added lift

posted in RC Helis, RC System, Servo & GYRO |

Which RC helicopter accessories should a new pilot consider?
New pilots may choose to explore purchasing servos, gyros, batteries, receivers, and/or transmitters. Those who own electric remote controlled helicopters may enhance them with some ESCs or electronic speed controllers. Nitro-fueled RC helicopters can also be accessorized with more powerful engines and/or starters.

What accessories would you recommend to the beginner pilot?
Beginner pilots will benefit from the spring RC servos, a cys servo, an ASSAN gyro, or a hobbywing ESC.

What should pilots take into account before investing in accessories?
Enthusiasts should consider the quality of the servo and gyro, as well as increased power with a li-polymer battery. A brushless motor is also a worthy investment.

What amount should the average pilot anticipate spending on accessories?
Anywhere up to $300 US is common among most RC helo enthusiasts.

What are some of the more affordable accessories?

Wfly 8ch RC system
Wfly 9ch RC system
FS 2.4ghz 6ch RC system
Blue Arrow servo
