Scale RC Helicopters

Scale RC Helicopters

Scale RC helicopters are built to look like the real thing, from air ambulances and coastguard rescue helicopters to military Apaches, Black Hawks, Hueys and the TV favourite Airwolf. This page brings together our scale models so you can compare them in one place.

GPS Scale Helicopters: Ready to Fly

If you want a scale model that is easy to fly, look at the GPS helicopters from Flywing and YuXiang. They use GPS, optical flow and a barometer to hold position and height when you let go of the sticks, and a one-key return-to-home brings them back if you lose orientation. They arrive ready to fly with a transmitter and battery, so they suit newcomers as well as experienced pilots who want a relaxed scale model.

Large Scale Helicopter Kits

For the experienced builder, the GooSky E7 UH-1Y Venom is a large scale model available as a BNF with the electronics fitted, or as an ARF where you add your own. These need a little more building and set-up knowledge, but reward you with an impressive presence in the air.

Choosing a Scale Helicopter

• First scale model: choose a GPS ready-to-fly helicopter. Everything you need is in the box and the flight controller does most of the stabilising.
• Size: smaller models suit gardens and parks, while larger ones look more convincing in the air but need more space.
• Type: pick the helicopter you like the look of, such as the Bell 206, BO-105, EC-135, Apache, Black Hawk, Huey or Airwolf.
• Spares: we stock spare parts for our scale ranges, so you can keep flying after a bump.
