Fixed Pitch (FP) electric RC helicopters

The next step up from the coaxials is the Fixed Pitch model, and these have also been very popular with newcomers to the hobby.

FP helicopters such as the Walkera Dragonfly 4, shown below, have amassed huge sales globally, and there are currently several such helicopters available from different manufacturers, all based on the same design (the Venom Night Ranger and EF Sabre, for instance).

Sold Ready To Fly (RTF), the FP 4 channel electric helicopters are great for beginners who want a more realistic looking helicopter, but don't want to spend a large amount of money. Such helicopters are still a challenge to begin with, and have a definite learning curve, but are a good, affordable introduction to multi-channel rc helicopter flying.
Also, spare parts for this kind of helicopter are very readily available, and cheap. This is an important factor to consider because a big part of learning to fly an rc helicopter is buying spare parts, after those 'heavy landings'!

The Walkera Dragonfly 4 has been, and continues to be, a very popular seller although it has since been updated to a newer version. I've got one myself, and you can read about it in more detail through these pages.
