RC TOY HELICOPTERS ARE FUN AND EASY TO FLY.

RC Toy Helicopters have made it possible for anyone to enjoy flying RC Helicopters . They are not complicated, they are surprisingly easy to fly, and most are very inexpensive.

Sure, the controls are not the same as real or hobby grade helicopters, or micro coaxial RC helicopters , but who cares – these little helis are FUN! If you do want to make your controller function a little more like a hobby grade RC helicopter controller, you can perform a modification to the throttle stick.

For all ages and abilities, you

really can’t go wrong getting one.

From 8 to 80...everyone loves flying

these little indoor helicopters. I

should warn you - they are addictive!


How Do They Work?

Havoc Heli Flying Around Billiard Balls

The most common, and as it turns out the least expensive design uses one main rotor and a tail rotor to counteract the reactive torque . This tail rotor also allows you to control the right and left or yaw direction of the helicopter.

These mini remote control helicopters

are marketed under dozens of names,

such as the Havoc Heli, Picoo Z Heli,

Venom Micro Rescue Heli, Pixie Heli...

the list goes on. As far as I can figure

out, the main distributor of all these

toy micro helicopters is Spinmaster.


Toy grade RC helicopters are introducing so many kids (and adults) to the wonderful world of RC flight. Many RC hobby purists frown at this new technology because it seems to make our RC hobby seem simple - basically child’s play.

We all know this is far from the truth because all hobby grade aircraft from planes to helicopters are difficult and challenging. I feel that RC toy helicopters can only help the RC helicopter hobby. A percentage of these people will go onto taking up real hobby grade RC helicopters - what could be better for our hobby.


Anyways, back to our toy mini RC helicopter. What makes them so popular is of course the fun factor coupled with a low price (both up front and operating costs), and for a small flying RC device, they are almost indestructible.

Flexible Rotor Blades On The Havoc Heli - Very Tough

When I first saw one of these mini RC Helicopters advertised on TV a year or so ago, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Remember, I have been flying complicated and maintenance intensive hobby grade helicopters for years, and here were a bunch of kids flying these little 6" helis around the house. Nope, I didn't believe it and thought is was scam.

Then I found out these little RC Toy Helicopters were around $30.00 CND. Well – as you can guess I kept my wife up all night talking about this little bugger and purchased one the next day. She won't admit it, but she loves flying it too.


Seeing that we both seem to be fighting over playing with this wonderful toy this is the perfect solution - the battling Havoc set. This kit comes with two Havoc helicopters and you can have mock dog fights by "shooting" each other down with harmless infra-red beams of light.

Too much fun!

To say these little indoor RC helicopters are fun is an understatement.
