The Mattel VertiBird helicopter flies around a central base containing an electric motor, spring lift assist, pitch control, batteries, and a throttle.A 21-inch arm with pitch control rod and the spindle that transfers the power to helicopter via drive springs and drive rod, is connected from the central base to the helicopter.
The helicopter is controlled by a 3-frequency a-b-c infrared controller, with two channels (one for the main rotor and one for the tail rotor) allowing independent user control of throttle (main rotor RPM) and tail rotor RPM. It is designed for indoor flying, but can also be flown outdoors in calm conditions with minimal lighting, otherwise the ...
RealFlight RC Simulator is a radio-controlled airplane and helicopter simulation software series developed by Knife Edge Software and now published by Horizon Hobby. The software allows for the flying of numerous RC aircraft, helicopters and drones so that the user can learn to fly RC, practice their skills or fly with others in multiplayer mode.
A September 2013 incident in New York City highlighted the possible dangers of remote controlled model helicopters when a 19-year-old enthusiast, who was very experienced in flying remote controlled helicopters, died after one of his helicopter's blades struck his head. [23]
When flying FPV, the pilot sees from the aircraft's perspective, and does not even have to look at the model. As a result, FPV aircraft can be flown well beyond visual range, limited only by the range of the remote control, video transmitter and endurance of the aircraft. A typical FPV video feed with an on-screen display showing navigational data
Keen to ensure the best outcomes for their children, helicopter parents tend to hover over their kids, constantly trying to prevent misadventure or harm. But child experts say this can lead to a ...
Custom flying field of the HHAMS Aerodrome created for RealFlight 7.5 Custom flying field of the HHAMS Aerodrome created for Phoenix RC. An RC flight simulator is a computer program that allows pilots of radio-controlled aircraft to practice on a computer, without the risk and expense of damaging a real model.
A typical helicopter has three flight control inputs: the cyclic stick, the collective lever, and the anti-torque pedals. [2] Depending on the complexity of the helicopter, the cyclic and collective may be linked together by a mixing unit , a mechanical or hydraulic device that combines the inputs from both and then sends along the "mixed ...
