Unboxing Review of The New Walkera V200 D03 RC Helicopter
Just today I received the V200 D03 RC helicopter from Walkera to review. This has been much-anticipated as the new range of Walkera radio controlled helicopters have caused quite a stir due the big step forward for this well-known manufacturer has made with them.
I eagerly opening the parcel to the new Walkera V200 D03 flybarless collective pitch helicopter that and I thought that I would start my review right here by giving you my thoughts and findings as I opened the box.
As always with Walkera the whole package is very neat and everything is compartmentalized.
The box has its own carry handle so that it doubles as a storage and carrying case. OK a nice metal case is very nice but they are a pricey.
I have a Walkera V200 D01 which superficially the D03 looks very much like. The D01 however is a fixed pitch helicopter whilst the D03 is a collective pitch and actually shares its origins with the Walkera 4F200 rather than the V200 D01/02. The D01 I found to be a brilliant helicopter, solidly constructed and beautiful to fly with very good tail holding with its shaft driven tail. Both of these radio controlled helicopters use the new flybarless system that Walkera is rightly favouring on all its new models. They utilize a 3-axis gyro which gives great flying performance and the electronics allow you to adjust the gyro settings through the receiver so that you can make it as stable as you like, making it very docile for a novice, or you can crank it up to give a much more agile and faster performance. I like the D01 very much.
The V200 D03 should be much more powerful, being capable of 3D aerobatics, and I will be interested to see also how docile and stable it can be made through adjustment of the gyro and transmitter settings. One of the beauties of a fully programmable transmitter is that you can set the helicopter up exactly to your requirements and with the Devo 8 this can be done through the built-in touch screen, making the functions very accessible and hopefully very easy - providing it is intuitively structured.
It comes with the all new 8 channel 2.4GHz touch screen programmable Devention transmitter, which is a definite step up from anything Walkera have previously packaged with an RC helicopter like this.
The Devo 8 immediately has a much more solid feel to it than the transmitter that came with the V200 D01. In fact in terms of both looks and feel it has similarities to the wonderful Spektrum DX7 that I use with my other RC helicopters. In fact the Devo 8 immediately has a couple of pluses even over that market leading transmitter.
It has a backlit LCD screen
You do not have to remove the back of the transmitter to adjust the tension on the throttle stick. I always dislike having to do this so it was a pleasure to find that the Devo 8 has a little rubber grommet covered access hole to a Phillips head screw to do this.
This transmitter of course also has a touch screen which the Spektrum transmitters do not but whether you regard that as a plus or not is very much a matter of personal and I look forward to discovering how well it works. Of course what is still to be determined is whether the electronics and reliability of the Walkera radio can compare to Spektrum, who also have second to none customer service.
One thing that did concern me about the Devention 8 transmitter was that at first sight it does not appear to have a throttle hold switch, which is absolutely essential with a collective pitch helicopter. With any non-3D helicopter you can just knock the throttle stick right down if you are going to come crash so as to kill the power to the rotors and minimize damage. With a collective pitch helicopter this is possible whist in normal flight mode but once you go into Flight Mode 1 or 2, the bottom half of the stick gives you negative collective and does not reduce the throttle so you cannot knock the power off. Fortunately, a quick scan of the provided User Manual for the transmitter revealed that the Rudder Dual Rate switch can be changed to function as a Throttle Hold switch. Which actually most transmitters use this switch as an either/or for the two functions. I was slightly disconcerted that Walkera have elected to situate the Rudder Dual Rate/Throttle Hold switch and the Flight Mode switches the opposite way around to the Spektrum DX7 transmitter. I am so used to reacting with the right hand to hit throttle hold in an emergency and here I will have to react with the left hand - and it is usually needed in situations when you do not have time to think about it - you need to react instantaneously. The other factor is that there is a risk of reaching with the left hand to change the flight mode, as I would on the Spektrum, and in doing so with the Walkera I would put the helicopter into throttle hold killing all power to the rotor head. Care will be needed!
Whilst talking of losing power, one other thing I do not care for with this helicopter is that there is no auto-rotation gear. So if you do happen to have a failure in mid-air that results in no power getting to the main blades you have no safe way down. Come on Walkera - a helicopter of this quality and cost deserves a failsafe like this.
So what else about the helicopter itself. As usual for Walkera RC helicopters it is beautifully finished. It has a metallic red anodized rotor head which is a wonderful match for the canopy.The carbon fibre rotor blades look stunning (but will not be cheap to replace - I may have to find some more reasonably priced plastic ones for general use, at least until I am more used to flying this beauty).
Everything is indeed very neat with this helicopter and it has a nice sturdy feel to it, just like the V200 D01, but without costing excessive weight (342g without the lipo battery).
One nice touch - this helicopter came directly supplied by Walkera with the correct plug (a clip on head) for the country of use on the lipo charger power supply. It is so nice to get a UK 3-pin plug for a change.
With regards to the supplied manuals. In the box there is a booklet type paper 'User Handbook' which covers the helicopter and basic setup and function of the Devo 8. Additionally there is a Devention 'User Manual' for the Devo 8 which covers all the functions of the transmitter. This is on a CD. Now I don't know if Walkera just could not make their mind up as to which format they were gong to use or what but if they were just trying to please both people who like their written material on paper and those who like it in digital format they will end up satisfying none - it is a strange logic they have used!
As to the contents of the manuals, on a brief scan through it appears comprehensive enough but it is the usual translated Chinese English, which means that you have to read it very carefully and probably a few times over in places to comprehend it properly. As they go, however, the translations here are actually not bad at all.
As to the price, Walkera helicopters are not the cheapest on the market but then they are really well-built and are bristling with cutting edge technology. They always come with a decent transmitter, not a cheap and basic £30-£40 transmitter. The Devo8 that comes with the V200 D03 is top end spec. So for the price you are paying you a getting both an excellent radio controlled helicopter and a transmitter with functions matching those costing close to £300. So if you are looking for an excellent small collective pitch Rc helicopter and a high spec 6 channel plus transmitter this model offers very good value for money.
Overall I'm really excited about this little heli and I am looking forward to programming the transmitter, completing the setup and getting it airborne. Shame the weather has gone so wet and windy. This hobby is excellent for developing patience - you learn to do so or develop a big hole in your pocket!
RC Boats - All the Fun of a Real Boat, a Fraction of the Cost
An RC boat is a boat controlled remotely with radio controlled equipment. This is a fun sport for people looking for a hobby. These boats are sold in kits or already assembled. They get up to 15 mph or less. Putting together an RC boat is a great hobby for people young and old. Most lakes welcome the boats because of the quiet engines. The boats come as exact replicas of their full sized counterparts.
There are many internet forums that promote the love of RC Boats. Most of the enthusiasts are men who enjoy the sport of racing these boats. Although there boats are small, they are larger than average boats. The downside is that the battery power only last 20 minutes. So you can only enjoy the lake for 20 minutes at a time. Even with their short battery life RC boats are growing in popularity. Part of the fascination in RC boats is the intricate assembly process. The kits come with a many small parts that require special tools. Assembly is not for a child. The more advanced RC Boat lover will enjoy putting a sense of accomplishment when putting this together. Almost ready to ride boats do not require as much assembly.
There are different types of power for the boat. These options might last longer than the electric powered boat. The nitro engine provides an extra energy source for RC boats. This engine is water cooled. Gas is also used to power these boats. This engine is similar to a weed eater or a leaf blower. The gas engine is very large. It goes on a larger boat that is made for the lake, not a swimming pool. This is a less expensive power option than nitro. Nitro cost more than gas.
There is an RC version of almost any vehicle that exists. Another type of RC boat is a RC submarine. They range in size from the kind that fits in a bathroom to a kind for a lake. They have a hand held controller that can go deep into the dark waters of a lake. The controller cannot get wet so you can't dive with the submarine. These ships can be purchased ready-made or ready for the builder. Submarines are used for underwater research. Scientist uses the ships for underwater photography. Special built models cannot be found in a hobby shop.
RC vehicles are uses by the hobby enthusiast that likes models that look realistic. There are many types of RC vehicles. They can't be called toys. RC owners are serious about their sport. There are completions and trips just for RC enthusiast. They owners come with their planes, car, boats and submarines. Grown men and women around the country enjoy this sport. RC vehicles are more advanced than the remote controls car you can purchase from an electronics store. As RC vehicles grow in popularity, you never know who has one. The mailman, the cashier or the next door neighbor just might be an undercover RC enthusiast.
Blade mSR Helicopter with Swashplate mod + HARD FLYING. On YouTube.
Bob (EggyHed) and Eric (JoeHandsome99) came to visit for the weekend. Bob brought this Helicopter and gave it to me as a gift! I am overwhelmed by his generosity and thank him. This is one of the coolest micro helicopters I have ever flown. Top drawer stuff and the engineers at E-flite should be commended. At the heart of the Blade mSRs design is a Bell-Hiller rotor head provides amazing speed and agility that you would expect of a single-rotor heli but maintains a measure of positive stability similar to a co-axial heli. This blend of agility and stability makes it the ideal next step for someone moving up from a coaxial heli, such as the Blade CX3 or Blade MCX. For single-rotor ultra-micro heli excitement you can fly almost anywhere, this mSR simply cant be beat. It's sa very strong bird and a breath of fresh air, in the helicopter world. They are 100% factory-assembled, test-flown and ready-to-fly. . Includes 4-channel 2.4GHz DSM2 transmitter or the BNF version to use with your own TX. It also iIncludes a 4-D Cell powered 4-Port charger that charges four batteries at once, plus AC adapter for in home use. It also includes TWO 130 MaH LIPO flight batteries for more flying time, spare tail rotor and flybar paddle. The 5-in-1 control unit combines a DSM2 receiver, 2 motor ESCs, mixer, gyro and 2 servos. It's incredibly durable and weighs less than one ounce. A full line of replacement and option parts are available. Length: 7.5 in (190mm) For more, see www.HorizonHobbies ...

RC Simulator Packages to Practice Radio Control Flying
Radio control hobbyists frequently use RC simulator software to practice flying helicopters and planes before trying to fly new models in the field. Radio controlled helicopters and airplanes are tough enough to take some bumps, but-like full size vehicles used to ferry people-they can be severely damaged in harsh crashes. Thus, new pilots are often advised to practice simulator flying first to get the hang of a bird's general handling characteristics. An RC simulator is also handy to have when the weather prohibits outdoor flying. Pilots have several major options for flight simulator packages. In order of increasing cost, we have:
1. FMS. This is a free package available through the internet for Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP systems. It allows you to fly a variety of radio controlled helicopters and planes using a keyboard or other controller, either a gamepad or a USB port device like the Esky simulation transmitter which is built to resemble a regular RC transmitter. Most of the available models are planes. One main drawback to FMS (Flight Model Simulator) is that it is not available for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or OSX. A second drawback for simulating helicopters is that the ground effect is not reproduced very well in FMS. The primary advantage of FMS, of course, is that is a very good way to get started to learn orientation and basic flying. This is particularly true if you are not certain whether flying radio controlled toys is something you will really enjoy and you don't want to invest much in a simulator. The graphics are not that attractive when compared to other packages, but the basic functionality is there and the price certainly cannot be beaten. FMS is definitely a flight simulator and not a game; there are no options for aerial combat or multiple pilot flying.
2. Clearview. The Clearview RC simulator costs approximately (US dollars) and works with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows NT. The graphics are definitely improved over FMS. Clearview includes many helicopters, planes, and one glider. Training modes are available to help you fly in predefined patterns so you can get a feel for the controls as quickly as possible. Clearview also allows water takeoffs and landings, which many other packages do not. Like FMS, it is designed more as a simulator than a game, but does allow multiple pilots to fly together. Flight recording is also available. Multiple pilots, flight recording, water takeoff and landing, and training modes are not available with FMS. A controller is not included with the cost of the software.
3. Heli-X. This java-based RC simulator is designed specifically for helicopters. The cost is 49 Euros, or .67 US. (The software was free in an earlier version, but not anymore. Version 0.9 can still be downloaded without charge.) It is one of only a very few RC simulators available for Macintosh OSX (64-bit Intel processors) and it also runs on Linux and Windows systems. Heli-X requires an OpenGL compatible graphics adapter and a USB joystick controller such as the Esky 0905A. This is an obvious choice if you want to simulate helicopters on a Mac, but it is not a good choice for planes or gliders since it does not include any plane or glider models. Heli-X currently offers cargo training as well, which is a fun feature to have. This allows some game-like functionality since you can pick up cargo, transport it, and drop it off at a designated target location. A drawback to the package is that models for FMS cannot be incorporated directly into Heli-X, since Heli-X uses wavefront format models.
4. Reflex XTR. This package has versions available for Windows XP and Vista computers and is designed to be controlled by a radio transmitter. The RC simulator is a very solid general purpose package that includes models for helicopters, planes, and gliders. This software does not provide support for a gamepad, as Clearview and FMS do. Graphics for Reflex XTR are top of the line in RC simulation and it is an excellent helicopter simulator, including good modeling of ground effect. Unfortunately, it does not yet include water takeoffs or landings. The Reflex RTR package features training modes, flight recording, and multiple pilots as does Clearview. The Reflex XTR system currently costs around 0+ US without a controller.
To summarize, there are several good options for RC simulator packages. The major factors to consider are, of course, price and feature set. Clearview and FMS are general purpose simulators and Clearview is probably preferable if you are interested in helicopter simulation. Clearview also offers two useful features, training modes and flight recording, that FMS does not. Heli-X is newer and is currently the best option for Macintosh OSX or Linux, but only if you are interested in flying helicopters. Reflex XTR is superb general purpose simulator for planes, helicopters, or gliders, but it is also the most expensive package we've discussed.
Here is the 2nd Test flight that turned into a total fun flight with this new concept RC helicopter. This time we tried some altitude and this thing can climb like a Collective pitch. This is just tons of fun flying this heli around. Hoping this heli will be available soon with affordable prices and in a bigger version for FPV and Aerial shooting.

The Litehawk RC Helicopter - Durable - Light Weight and Worth the Money
New to the market, the Litehawk Remote Controlled Helicopter has been called the world's best remote controlled helicopter, and that's no empty boast. This little helicopter blows older remote controlled helicopters right out of the water by making the process of flying easy and fun. Other helicopters on the market can have a steep learning curve in order to start having fun, but the Litehawk has been specifically designed to be incredibly easy to learn to use.
The Litehawk is also incredibly durable. Its chassis is made of steel, and the rest of the body is made with a light weight plastic called Lexan which is so durable that it has bullet resistant properties. Its rotor wings are flexible so that they will more easily bend than crack when they're impacted, and they're made to break away and stop when anything gets in their way so they will not be a danger to fingers. The wings are also easily replaceable if they do get damaged. They're just screwed in. The landing gear will flex on landing to cushion hard impacts and avoid damage to the helicopter itself.
Most remote controlled helicopters on the market have a spring in the throttle stick that causes it to automatically return to the starting spot when pressure is taken off. This means that users have to get used to applying a constant pressure and figuring out how to push just right when starting out. But the Litehawk controller doesn't contain any such spring, so users can push to find a "sweet spot" where the helicopter's hovering beautifully and then concentrate on steering it without paying any attention to the throttle stick. This, combined with the incredibly effective stabilizing system, is what makes the Litehawk so easy and fun to use.
There is no cover over the Litehawk helicopter's motor like there is on other toy helicopters. This reduces the weight of the helicopter, and it also helps the motor to vent heat more efficiently which means that the Litehawk RC helicopter can stay aloft for longer and remain cooler than other helicopters on the market. Flashing lights on the flanks of the helicopter also make it possible to fly the Litehawk at night or with the lights out, and they make for an impressive display.
The helicopter carries a small rechargeable battery in its nose which provides a surprisingly long running time for its size. But to sweeten the deal even more, the Litehawk controller comes with a built in charger, so that you can charge up the battery directly from the six "AA" batteries in the controller wherever you are.
Because of its ease of use, its durability, and the way it provides hours of fun with so little effort, the Litehawk Remote Controlled Helicopter is essentially unbeatable in the market for casual users. It's no wonder with everything going for it that this great little toy has become a hit among children and adults alike. It's basically good remote controlled fun for the whole family!

If you are looking for high advanced technology in your toy helicopter, then a good option would be the new and popular RC helicopter camera. RC helicopter has evolved into a big brand in the last couple of years due to its high quality helicopters and advanced technology.
Now let us check out some of the benefits and features of this camera on RC helicopters. Firstly these cameras are so small in size that you can hide the camera anywhere in your helicopter. Not only this, you could put it in other RC models also, like the RC airplanes and motors. It is quite adjustable and can be fit into any RC product.
With this, you get the facility of video camcorder with which videos can be shot. You can use it as a spy camera. It can be used to capture video. The best part of the camera is that you can capture a long video of nearly one and a half hour.
It has got a space of 2 GB which you will get free. Not only this you may even add up to 4GB to this camera for extra space. So if you want to capture a long video you really do not have to think so much about the time and space of the camera. Now with the inbuilt space of 2GB you will be able to capture a video as long as one and a half hour or more.
Now let us get into the features of these cameras. These cameras that are used in the RC helicopters have got such specifications that the final picture clarity, which you will get, is very high. It has got 648x480pixels camera resolution. Thus the video captured with it will be of very good quality. The weight of this camera is 18 gram.
With this camera you will also get some of the additional accessories like the USB cable and a manual guide for the user and a free 2GB card. So if you are a beginner also you will not find it tough to handle this at all.
Some of the other specifications of this camera include avi video format, mini camera that is mall and can be used anywhere. The size of the camera is nearly about 73mm*20mm*11mm. Apart from this you will get clear video image, clear sound effect in the captured video, wireless camera. So there is no use of long wires or cords.
Now the question comes, from where you can get these camera helicopters? Well you could get these helicopters from all the major hobby shops. But before you actually purchase it, check the camera resolution properly.
The price of this helicopter starts from a minimum .95 and goes to .95. So according to your budget you can buy the helicopters. But when it comes to child's happiness, parents really do not think much about the price.
So if you want to surprise your child with a very new and innovative helicopter then get him this RC helicopter camera.
The first ever successful flight of a remote control helicopter took place in West Germany in 1968 and was built by Dr. Dieter Schlute. This model was the first fully functional, controllable remote control helicopter and was pioneering in its field, offering the grounding for development throughout the years.
Taking the initiative from the first full scale operational helicopter by lgor Sikorsky in 1941, the RC helicopter truly succeeded after much trial and error in rotary types when in 1978, some ten years after the first remote control helicopter was proven to work, a semi-scale model of the Wallace Autogiro went mainstream leading to variations of the remote control helicopter kit to be sold in model shops worldwide.
There have been several basic designs for remote control helicopters over the years including those with collective pitch (meaning blades which rotate on their longitudinal axis to vary or reverse lift) which are typically more difficult to fly but are aerodynamically more manoeuvrable.
One of the major development barriers has been providing the RC helicopters with enough power to lift the weight of the construction off the ground. Given the development in technologies we have today this has been well overcome and typical power sources for remote control helicopters now include Nitro (nitromethane-methanol internal combustion), gas turbines, electric batteries, petrol and gasoline.
As the helicopters have developed throughout the years, one of the stand out features of each and every model has been that they are getting smaller and smaller. Today there are a large range of micro RC helicopters which work both indoors and outside which are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, a big step forward from the bulky structures we started out playing with.
RC Helicopters are now stocked by major high street and online stores, Gone are the days where they belonged to only the hardcore hobbyists and they are more accessible to the general consumer than ever.
As the helicopters entered the mainstream of the boys toys / gadgets industry it was apparent they needed to be more durable as novices took to the controls. The helicopters of today are made from die cast mould plastics which can withstand being flown into a wall or the ceiling at some speeds.
The main development within the last few years has been the introduction of gyroscope technology to the RC helicopters. This technology has made the remote control helicopters much easier to control, eliminating the consistent circling flying motion that is found within many of the cheaper models on the market. Turns and manoeuvres are more precise and generally easier to control meaning anyone can look like a pro within minutes of picking up their new toy and any time you ease off the control stick the Gyro returns the helicopter to an utterly stable, upright position.
The future of remote control helicopters will bring even more developments as all the manufacturers look to improve flight times, stability, manoeuvrability, charge times and who knows what else their creativity will conjure up.
Look, up in the sky - it's a car, it's a helicopter: no, it's Verticar! Megatech's new 2-in-1 remote control vehicle that combines the fun of RC helicopters and RC cars. Small (4.5" long with a main rotor 5.5" wide), lightweight (just under an ounce), and cute as a bug, this electric Ready to Fly drives like a car when in running mode but with a flip of a transmitter switch converts to flying mode and takes off like a regular helicopter. Made for flying indoors and outside (but outside only in perfectly calm wind conditions), Verticar is attractive in appearance and comes in eye-pleasing, bright red or yellow colors.
Using coaxial technology--dual rotors and counter-rotating blades--and a flybar for added stability, Verticar is super easy to handle, even for someone new to RC helicopters. If you're flying indoors, be sure to turn off any ceiling fans--because it weighs so little, even a slight breeze can affect vehicle performance. Among its features are the ability to synchronize on multiple channels, so more than one Verticar can fly in the same area without causing interference; rechargeable on-board LiPo battery; and flashing LEDs for added visibility at dusk or when overcast. It comes fully assembled with everything you need except six AA batteries.
For ages 8 and up and under .00, Verticar is a fun and unique remote control vehicle. While certainly more copter than car, it does something other RC helicopters can't do. You might want to consider one for yourself or as a gift for a youngster who'd think it really cool to own a helicopter that doubles as a car.
The Lama V4 RC helicopter comes full built and ready to fly micro helicopter. Its coaxial head design which is counter-rotating is very stable than anyone who has not flown one of these before will become very experienced in a short period of time. The V4 Lama has other features that many other remote controlled helicopters do not have. The strong power of its Esky 8g servo's, and 4-1 controller are great to look at, very low weight and are great on the eyes. The counter rotating blades assist in cancelling out the rotating torque meaning you can hover with ease that other helicopters find hard to achieve. The rudder turning is also assisted and leaves no instability. A great rc helicopter to fly and a fantastic machine will keep you engrossed for a long time. This has got to be one of the best helicopters on the market with its stable flying, performance and flying grace.
All you need for flying this machine comes in the box which consists of the helicopter fully built and ready to do, a 4 channel radio controller, long lasting lithium battery, 12v car battery adapter and AA batteries for the radio controller. The box is even good to look at so great for a gift for a son or dad.
2.Full RC system set Included, ready to fly out of the box.
3.Pre-installed ESKY 8g servos and
4-in-1 control unit
4.No installation or assembly required.
5.Dual 180 motors makes the Lama V4 powerful and efficient.
6.800mAh 2-cell Li-Po battery pack is low weight, high power and provides flight durations of 10-15 minutes per charge.
There are many more types of RC Helicopter with the most popular type of model being rc cars which have several varieties such as petrol rc cars, electric and nitro fueled. Aside from them, you also have planes, tanks and robots so a hobby area which spans a wide area. We hope this article has been useful and you check out the Esky Helicopter.
RC helicopters come in various forms and can be categorized in numerous ways whether it is by ability, power capacity, or size.
The most common form of a RC helicopter is a basic toy version which can be found in any toy store around. They can be used by almost anyone and are relatively inexpensive compared to the hobby grade RC helicopters. They do not operate the same as hobby grade ones but they are fun and a good way to introduce a young child to the hobby. Micro coaxial RC helicopters are sometimes still categorized with toy helicopters but much more sophisticated yet are still small in size. They are a great way to learn how to maneuver a RC helicopter because of their low cost and small size yet are still adored by avid hobbyists.
Larger electric RC helicopters have become more popular in recent years because of recent developments in batteries and their capacity. Batteries now last longer than in the past which makes using an electrically charged battery more feasible and easier. It is now possible to fly a helicopter longer because batteries now last longer and are actually lighter. Because the newer batteries provide more power than in the past it is possible for skilled hobbyists to maneuver while being quieter than before. Most RC helicopters sold in toy stores are electric but it is more common to see larger RC helis that are electrically powered then before.
Nitro powered remote controlled helicopters are powered by Nitro fuel. They are favored by hobbyists due to their relatively low price and unbelievable power. The Nitro engine in small yet is able to power larger more sophisticated aircraft. The engines used in Nitro RC helicopters are usually called ?glow engines? this is because they use a glow plug instead of a spark plug. They also use a particular fuel which is made up of methanol, oil, and nitro methane.
One more type of RC helicopter is the Gas powered RC helicopter. It is sometimes confused with Nitro powered helicopters but it is actually similar in mechanics but has a completely different engine. They use fuel which consists of regular gasoline and is mixed with two cycle oil. The engines are relatively larger when compared to the Nitro engine and it is also more expensive when compared to it as well.

When it comes to remote control boats, you are going to find that there are certain tips that can help you enjoy the use of them. No matter if you are a first time user of RC boats or an advanced pilot you will find that these tips are going to be very useful to you. One of the first things that you will want to do with your remote control boats is to safely check the operating range limit that you have. Each RC boat will have a different range that they can operate in and you are going to want to know what the limits are for each boat to avoid any potential problems.
The next thing to keep I mind when you are working with RC boats is that you need to understand the water option that you have available to you. Total area available and hazards in the water are going to need to be taken into consideration when you are looking to use RC boats in certain areas.
