Needless to say, where there is RC, there is extraordinary excitement
and fabulous fun. In light of the sweeping craze for RC fun, especially
for the refreshing Rc Hobby
, RC has developed with flying
colors and gained established popularity. The point to note is that by
comparison the RTF RC helicopter wins more favor.
Of course, the term Ready To Fly does refer to the fact that the model,
whether helicopter or airplane, doesn't require any assembly work and
the motor and radio gear is fully installed and set up at the factory.
RTF by definition, therefore, is a very fair description.
But the reality is that many models are sold with the slogan "Flies
straight out the box" attached to them, and this is rarely the case.
It's not such a critical issue with RTF RC airplanes, but helicopters
have spinning blades that can do a lot of damage in inexperienced hands -
far more than an airplane propeller can (although these hurt too.).
So, the letters RTF should never be interpreted as "Flies straight out
the box" when it comes to RC helicopters. Maybe a new labeling of should be created, just to clarify things.
Good helicopters such as thehave
amassed a huge number of sales globally, contributing greatly to a large
influx of new RC pilots into the hobby of radio control flying. The
gentle flying characteristics and affordable prices of such RTF RC
helicopters have been the two big selling points.
Anyway, whichever type of RTF RC helicopter you choose, you can be
certain of one thing - you are entering the most rapidly expanding and
exciting sector of the radio control flying hobby - a sector that seems
to have a strong future ahead of it, for anyone to enjoy regardless of
helicopter-flying experience! Okay, since your RTF RC helicopter has
been ready to fly, why not ready to delight?
