Advices to helicopter beginners(II)
Many helicopter players will be attracted by the beautiful apperance and design of some helicopters for the first sight.But the best way to start fly a helicopter is to find a one with simple configuration.The cabin,rotor blade and tail balde is better to be plastic or wood-lined heat-shrikable material ,plastic landing skid with aluminum brackets.
The rotor balde for helicopters could be range from US20.00to USD200.00 dollars(a professional helicopter) and thre tail rotor holder and rotor balde could reach US100 dollars.Those blade are made of ultralight and higyly resistent materials,such as carbon fiber.Everytime,when you begin to replace the majority of spare parts (that are orginally made of plastic or aluminum materials) with carbon fiber parts.Then,the result is you get alightweight helicopter with more power.
There are many versions of helicopters that some have ruddr vertically fixed and others,horizontally fixed,tail boom,reinforcements for tail boom,landing skid and other spares are made of carbon fiber.But,more spares are made of carbon fiber,more expensive the helicopter will be.The helicopter with major spares being made of carbon fiber isn't a good choice to start your flight when you've already had an accident with this type of heli.The repairs are very expensive and many us dollarswill bespent in it.You can get a helicopter with easy configuration.Therefore it is recommended to start your flight with asimple helicopterthat you can get in a third level.
In the field of helicopter,we can difine with precision of different versions of helis and each version could also be subdivided into two or three categories.The difference among those types depend on specific spares on the kit that make the helicopter more light and agile.
No.1 Helicopter with electronic motor.Actually,we can find electric helicopters of different sizes.
No.2.Glow type-gasoline-engine helicopter (2 stroke).This helicopter that work with gasoline is the one the represent the old generation of helimodelismo,now there are many brands.But the measures are,more or less,standarded.Among them,we have the common ones that work with motor 32.50.60 and 90.The majority of helimodelistas usually start with helicopters equipped with motor 30 or 50 and it's the choice more pratica and cost-effective.
No.3 Helicopters with four-stroke petrol glow.This kind of helicopter work with the same fuel ,but the motor is of 4 stroke.This type of motor will consume less fuel than the 2-stroke fuel.
N0.4 Gas type-Helicopter with gasline motor.This kind of helicopter is produced by a few of factories.Among them,we have the miniature aircraft.This heli consume the same gas as used in vehicles.This fuel is mixed with a certain percent of oil for the motor of two strokes.This type of helicopter is the most cost-effective one respect to the consume of fuel.
N0.5Turbine helicopters.Actually this is the most expensive helimodel.Work with the same fuel as those used for airplanes with real turbine.The fuel is named Kerosene or s A1.
