What's your preferrence for a RC helicopter?

If you are keen on model aviation, it's time to decide what kind of aircraft you want. What, you already know it's a helicopter? Great, then go ahead and pick one!

My preference is to big RC helicopters that are easy to fly and control. They usually don't have a small propeler on the side - instead of that there are two ones at the top which rotate in different directions.

The small RC helicopters like Picco Z for example are also easy to control and are very suitable for flying in a room.

The helicopters which have a propeller on the side are generally harder to control because you need to follow two things at once.

So, what is your preference for an RC helicopter? Do you like simple or complex ones? It's easy to get addicted to the more and more complex helicopters but they have a really steep learning curve.

By the way, there are even other kinds of RC rotorcraft althought they are not as popular. But if you don't want exactly a helicopter, you can search for and RC autogyro, gyrodine or gyrocopter.

One more factor to consider when choosing is also the fuel that the helicopter model uses. Is it gas or electricy? The gas models are more professional, but the electricy models are easier to use.

So, what is your preference?
