Falcon 40 RTF 4-Channel Radio Remote Controlled RC Helicopter.
I am looking to buy a good rc heli and easy to fly, since this will be my 1st heli.
Is the above a good pick?
Also what is the differnce between a 4chl and other higher chnl heli’s
And can someone tell me a site on how to fly a 4 chnl if thats what I should get..
The Falcon 40 is a good helicopter if you know how to fly. Since you said, "1st heli", I assume you flew with a simulator before? If not, I suggest you get a coaxial helicopter. I personally started with the Blade CX. I suggest you get the E-Flite Blade CX2. (Better transmitter without the easy burnout) Coaxial helicopter make it easier to fly and it really isnt a big challenge once you get used to it. This helicopter should get you familiar with the controls of a helicopter. 4Ch means how much of the helicopter you could function.
The 4 channels are:
1. Throttle (left side of the controller- up and down)
2. Rudder (left side of the controller- rotates left and right)
3. Cyclic (right side of the controller- forward and backward, tilt left and right)
If you get some that are 3 channels, you get to control the throttle, rudder and the forward and backward flights. The 2 channels, you get to control the rudder and the height the helicopter flies at.
Sure, I could give you a site on how to fly a 4 channel helicopter if you want.
