| Electric helicopters are coming along in leaps and bounds, especially with the new Lithium Polymer cells which will stretch flight times to reasonable levels.
However I prefer Gas or glo engined models. The reason being they are bigger and heavier, thus more stable outdoors in wind. You can fly for longer per session, especially with petrol. I also like the mechanics involved with IC engines.
If you can already fly, it's personal choice.
If you are a beginner, I would recommend gas. |
