To start with you can purchase something fairly cheap, no more than $30. It should come with a control unit that’s infrared and spare tail rotors. These types of helicopters come with only 2 controls. They are left, right, up and down. If you would like to move forward, then it’s likely you will have to add some weight to the front. However the practice that you get from lifting off and landing should be enough for beginners.

A next step helicopter would be the Megatech House fly unlimited. This helicopter comes with dual rotor fly bar technology, which will allow a novice to successfully fly it even during your learning process. The rotors on these helicopters are powered by two separate motors for each rotor, and 2 servos that control the roll and pitch. The left and right turn is controlled by different motor speeds. This model however, does not require a tail rotor. With this helicopter it’s possible for you to hover, manoeuvre up and down, backwards, forwards, turn right and left and also slide to both your left and right. Once you feel you have mastered this helicopter, you will now be reader to move up to level 2 flyers.
