Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / March 2005Mini RC Helicopter Hovers 50 Feet
I saw a very cool Mini RC Helicopter that takes only 1 minute to charge, and can hover over 50 feet in the air. http://www.MiniHelicopter.net Our HumbleBee R/C Helicopter remote-controlled electric helicopter features an on-board computer chip that manages its flight characteristics. This revolutionary Remote Control Helicopter has been engineered to make flying easy enough for kids of all ages. The key is a new flight system called "Proportional Control", which uses a basic trigger function to regulate altitude and speed. By squeezing the trigger, power circulates to the rotor making the helicopter hover. More pressure and the R/C Helicopter climbs higher into the air, less pressure, less height and speed. With the simplified controls, pilots are now able to make the helicopter soar up to heights of over 50 feet and distances of 300 feet. The HumbleBee R/C Helicopter uses a quick charge power system, featuring a landing pad appearance, and a fuelling hose nozzle, which adds a sense of reality to the charging process. Simply attach the hose to the Helicopter's charging nozzle, wait for the red charging light to stop blinking and the green light to turn on and then commence countdown for take off. Launching the helicopter can be as easy as letting it swirl into the air from your hand or for trained pilots, it lifts straight off the launch pad which doubles as a charger. The durable body construction enables the helicopter to recover from potentially destructive crashes and return to the sky within minutes. http://www.MiniHelicopter.net > I saw a very cool Mini RC Helicopter that takes only 1 minute to > charge, and can hover over 50 feet in the air. > > http://www.MiniHelicopter.net [...ad snipped...] Except that it has no pitch/yaw control, let alone anything else resembling control.

Not such a new idea............The Old fixed pitch R/C Heli's used this method years ago long before Collective pitch became common place. Check back to Days of Micro Mold Lark (Late 70's/Early 80's) and even MFA'S last Machine the Sport 500 which was fixed pitch as standard unless you upgraded with the Collective Pitch Head......(I still have one of those)  SignatureRegards........Mark (BlueWaveStudios) www.scale-models.co.uk (Moderator) How about DragonFly 4CH Helicopter for $88 - check this website out - http://www.hobbyjapan2000.com >>I saw a very cool Mini RC Helicopter that takes only 1 minute to >> charge, and can hover over 50 feet in the air.

The old fixed pitch heli's were controllable and fun AND they would go where you wanted them too, not just up and down.

Yes Beav, that is exactly what I meant, Both u & I know that because we have flown these machines... I suppose with the toys available today they will never know the true delights of the early fixed pitched machines..but I was still correct though in saying fixed piched machines needed more throttle for a higher hover...once they were flying normal circuits then yes...different kettle of fish to the plastic toys of today in that those early helicopters could actually (and indeed still do) fly full circuits rather than just up and down.

I was zero-ing in on the fact that these toys (if they're even that!) only have height control Mark, (well sort of:-) and didn't want any newbie to think that the old fixed pitchers only had the same level of control as these toys. What these things REALLY are is nothing more than a slight development of the old "string and spring" idea, designed to amuse 3 year olds and those things only cost pennies, not dollars.

What???? A whole 50 FEET????. Whatever next I wonder, although I'm sure you'll tell us this "helicopter" is the 8th wonder of the world and subject to a one time only offer. It's not a helicopter, it's not even a toy, but it's f.cking spam, so bog off SignatureBeav Reply to "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) >>I saw a very cool Mini RC Helicopter that takes only 1 minute to >> charge, and can hover over 50 feet in the air.

He thought it WAS the 8th wonder of the world. I suppose next you are going to tell him there's no Santa Clause either? :) >>>I saw a very cool Mini RC Helicopter that takes only 1 minute to >>> charge, and can hover over 50 feet in the air.
