RC Helicopter Buyer's Guide
Hopefully the info on this page will help you decide which
heli is right for you. When you are looking to buy an RC helicopter, as
well as finding the right model, it's important to consider the after-sales
backup - both in availability of spares and technical support if you do
have problems.
At BuzzFlyer we do our best to ensure we have all spare parts stocked -
and will post them same day 99% of the time. We also provide the best technical
support to customers - we fly these helicopters everyday and know them inside
out.
We would warn against buying RC helicopters on eBay or from discount web
sellers- although they may appear cheaper you're unlikely to get any after-sales
support - purchases from overseas sellers are likely to incur import taxes
when the package eventually arrives.

within minutes it may require many flights before you fully master the art of the RC helicopter pilot.
Primarily designed for indoor flight - they can also be
flown outside (in good conditions). This helicopter makes an ideal gift purchase - our deluxe package includes everything needed to fly Buy the Combat Twister here.
Need more power? Aerobatic performance?
The Walkera Master CP takes you to the next level. The collective pitch rotor
system allowing more responsive control than the fixed pitch. This extra
sensitivity makes it more of a challenge for the beginner - but with a
training kit and a steady hand it can be mastered. If you've developed
your skills on a Honey Bee FP you'll have a much easier time of flying
this model.
Of course the main advantage of the Master CP is the greater performance and
potential for full aerobatic flight. Not recommended for indoor flying
(unless its a big space) you'll love the speed and responsiveness of
this model.
