RC Helicopters!
Getting a move on.
RC helicopters allow you to truly be in control of a flying machine, one which responds accurately and precisely to what you tell it to do. Coaxial helicopters have been praised as the low-cost solution to "get your feet wet" in RC helicopters, and rightly so. With so much less complexities and a built-in stabilizing system, they enable the beginner to experience flight and pilot their own aircraft for the first time.
Fixed pitch helis, on the other hand, respond more like a real helicopter, but are still stable enough to enable the beginner to fly in a relatively short amount of time. Both of these can often cost less than a simple helicopter ride. Finally, collective pitch helis offer all the abilities and fun of real helicopter flight plus a whole lot more of aerobatical potential. Let me put it simply, THEY'RE AWESOME! :)
This site has lots of information and advice for beginner coaxial and fixed pitch heli pilots as well as a boatload of information and help for the more advanced collective pilot. Flight School in particular will help you learn to fly your heli without paying tons in repairs. Especially check out terms and definitions to understand some pretty complicated stuff.

Technical Help:
This Section is devoted to the nitty-gritty details of RC Helicopters.
Charging / Battery Tips:
This page includes tips and pointers I've learned about li-po batteries and chargers. These are very useful to improve your battery lifespan, by up to 500% on the 9053's stock battery! A must see page!
Terms and Definitions:
This page has loads of terms that you are likely to come across in the RC Helicopter world. From basic, like channel and rotor, to advanced, such as swashplate, dissymmetry of lift, and so much more.
Repairs:
Probably one of the most important sections on this site, it includes a list of common RC problems, and what likely causes and solutions may be. A very useful resource when your heli is "freakin out."
