Cheap RC helicopters

Cheap RC Helicopters

Inexpensive, ready-to-fly machines for trying the hobby without a big outlay, or for a first present that will survive being flown by someone new to it entirely.

What we stock

Twister - the Ninja 250 and scale models like the BO-105 and MD 500, most with 6-axis stabilisation and altitude hold built in, which makes hovering considerably easier for a first-timer. Kootai - simple 4-channel single-blade machines. Silverlit - the Pico Z Apache, a genuinely tiny indoor toy.

What to expect at this price

Shorter flight times, simpler construction and fewer spares than a hobby-grade machine from Blade or Align. That is the trade for the price, and it is a reasonable one if you mainly want to find out whether flying appeals before spending more.

Budget for the extras

Spare batteries make the biggest practical difference at this level, since flight times are short. A spare set of blades is cheap insurance too.

Ready for more?

When you outgrow one of these, RC helicopters for beginners covers the step up to a proper hobby-grade machine.
