RC helicopters are definitely fun to fly and play with. Not only children, but people of all ages are fond of them. They vary in size, model, and features. As a result, potential buyers can't make up their mind on which one to buy. For determining the best ones within their budget, they either have to refer to the RC helicopter reviews on the Internet or check them out manually at the local toy stores.

Some of the Best RC Helicopters

E-flite Blade CX3 MD 520N RTF
The MD 520N is a very attractive ready-to-fly RC helicopter, and its model and style is based on the 'McDonnell Douglas 520N', which is used by police forces all over the globe. A notable factor to mention is that it doesn't have a tail rotor which is normally seen in most of the RC choppers. Despite this factor, it is more stable than any of those available in the market. It has two pairs of blades over it, which allows it to maintain a steady balance.

Walkera 'Dragonfly 4'
This is manufactured by Walkera, and is one of the most inexpensive RC helicopters. It is a totally ready-to-fly RC chopper, that means you just need to put in the 8 AA batteries in the transmitter to use it. This product is really a good match for people who are not much acquainted with RC helicopter flying, and also have a slightly low budget. It is available for just around $70.

RotoFly EX
This is a small helicopter from 'Heli-Max' at an affordable price tag. If you want to fly helicopters in your living room or anywhere indoors, this one is the correct match. It just has a rotor span of less than 14 inches. Its main and tail motor have been incorporated with heat sinks which prevent overheating, which is a common problem. This product is manufactured especially for beginners.

Pegasus Coaxial RC Helicopter
This is a ready-to-fly helicopter that is coaxial, which means that it has two rotors like the E-flite Blade CX3 MD 520N. It has a realistic cockpit which houses the battery or the radio gear. The motor is powered using Li-Po batteries for high performance and longer duration flights. This is also an ideal choice for beginners.

Micro Picoo Z MX-1 Extreme
This is even smaller than the 'Picoo Z' which was its predecessor, and was known for being the smallest and lightest one. The body and the weight has in no way been a hurdle to its flying performance. Moreover, the transmitter is also of a small size, like the size of a pocket. It's around 110 millimeters long and weighs just seven grams. It is suitable for home as well as outdoor flying.

R/C Speed King Helicopter
This has everything one would expect from a simple indoor RC helicopter. It has got speed and easy-to-use features. It is so light that the air which is present outdoors will carry it away. For this reason, only indoor use is recommended. It is available at an inexpensive price of around $34. Its remote control is also very easy to operate.

By referring to the above RC helicopter reviews, I hope that you must have made up your mind on which one will be most appropriate to suit your needs and liking. The durability of an RC helicopter largely depends on the way the user plays with and maintains it.
