Remote Control Helicopters, commonly referred to as RC helicopters, are miniature flying devices that are controlled remotely using a transmitter. They typically feature a helicopter rotor system that allows them to lift off, hover, and maneuver in the air. These helicopters are equipped with electronic components such as servos for controlling movement, receivers that receive signals from the transmitter, and batteries for power.

RC helicopters come in various sizes and types, ranging from toy models designed for beginners to more advanced versions for experienced hobbyists, which may include features such as collective pitch control and advanced stabilization systems. Users can pilot these helicopters for recreational flying, aerial photography, racing, or in some cases, for educational purposes related to aerodynamics and robotics.

The operation of these helicopters requires skill and practice, as pilots must learn to manage throttle, pitch, and direction to control the flight effectively. RC helicopters can be powered by electric motors or internal combustion engines and may have different flight capabilities based on their design and size.
