RC Helicopters 2014/03
These days we are spoiled with choices when it comes to selecting an RC helicopter. Although we throw companies’ names around in general conversation, it is easy to forget that they aren’t giant, faceless corporations. Okay, maybe some of them are, but not all of them.

I was first introduced to Pylon Racing a number of years ago, at a club field where they raced two-pole AT-6 Texans. The course consisted of two poles, one at either end of the field, and we would race several laps around them flying House of Balsa AT-6 Texan kits (later ARFs) with Thunder Tiger GP-25 engines.

For many of us, these early months of the year are cold, with wintery weather in full swing. This limits our flying time outside. Although it is a good time to get in some simulator practice, it is also a great time to tear down our helicopters for some maintenance.

Until recently, gyros were only something you would typically find in model helicopters. Yet, as technology improved and components shrank, we began to see smaller gyro-stabilized airplanes populate the market.

I’m glad to be here. Throughout the years I have really enjoyed reading Mark Fadely’s helicopter column. I always felt that it was a good thing for helicopters to have a regular place in Model Aviation. It’s a great resource for heli pilots, as well as a good way to expose our side of the hobby to those who haven’t tried flying helicopters.
