Best Overall: E-flite Blade mCX2 RTF RC Helicopter
For the best combination of flight control, battery life and quality, look no further than the E-flite Blade mCX2 RTF RC Helicopter. Already assembled right from the box, this ready-to-fly model allows you to be up and running within minutes. Perfect for first-time operators and professionals alike, the mCX2 includes two modes of flying: One is 'RTF' (short for ready to fly) and the other is the “Blind & Fly” version that lets you speed things up if you feel RTF is a little too slow).
![Remote Remote](http://cdn3.volusion.com/rqzrl.nqrjx/v/vspfiles/photos/EH-SYMA107G-Green-2.jpg?1449591892)
The coaxial design eliminates stability concerns while in flight and the counter-rotating blades help maintain flight control with minimal user intervention. The 120mAh 3.7V lithium battery pack allows for upwards of eight minutes of flight time and recharging takes around 90 minutes. With more powerful motors, a higher capacity battery, excellent control and best-in-class stability, the mCX2 is a smart choice across the board.
Best Budget: Syma S111G
This palm-sized helicopter is only eight inches long, but what the Syma S111G lacks in size it more than makes up for with wallet-friendly pricing. Ready out of the box with five to six minutes of flight time, it takes only 30 minutes of charging to get the S111G back in the air, allowing for dozens of opportunities to fly every day. The Coast Guard design adds a little extra design flair to the durable frame that’s more than capable of standing up to beginner users who might find themselves on the wrong end of a crash.
Utilizing an integrated electric gyroscope system, the S111G is easy to control and allows for extra stability during flight. The adjustable trim control and multi-directional flight controls allow the helicopter to move up and down and rotate both clockwise and counter-clockwise, as well as move forward and backward. The coaxial blades provide extra stability and durability during flight.
Best for Kids: Haktoys HAK303
Designed for children ages eight and up, the Haktoys HAK303 mini remote control helicopter offers great control and flight stability. Fortunately for kids, the flexible canopy design is designed to withstand damage in the event of a crash, and the 50-foot flight range adds just enough distance to fly anywhere in a house or indoor area. Flight time is six to eight minutes and it requires just a 30-minute charge to get back into the air.
The built-in gyroscope boosts in-flight stability (and helps build confidence in younger children), while the ergonomic controls are comfortable to hold and learn. Measuring only eight inches in length, the HAK303 enables both up and down movement, as well as left, right, forward and backward. Additionally, adjustable speed control allows parents to keep velocity to a minimum while their children learn the finer points of takeoff and touchdown.
Best for Beginners: Syma S107G
Handily one of the most popular remote control helicopter models available today, the eight-inch-long Syma S107G offers beginner-friendly functionality without breaking the bank. The three-channel controls allow early users to learn the steerage basics (up and down, forward or reverse, as well as left and right). The included remote control adds an alignment trim button for quickly leveling the helicopter if it errantly gets away from you while in flight.
The 150mAh battery means 12 minutes of flight time on a 30-minute charge, giving it a few extra minutes in the air over the similarly-priced competition. Add in a lightweight design that’s less likely to damage or break in a crash and this indoor-only option becomes even more attractive to first-time operators.
Best Outdoor: BLH4100 120 S
Blade’s BLH4100 120 S six-channel helicopter is ready to fly right out of the box and is perfect for both newbies and experienced 'pilots.' This single-rotor, fixed-pitch chopper can handle a little wind, thanks to three different flight modes that utilize Blade’s SAFE technology. The beginner mode offers slower flight speed and self-leveling if you press a panic button. Intermediate mode adds higher angles of pitch and roll (while still adding self-leveling). Experienced mode turns off pitch and roll, leaving all controls up to the user (although it keeps the self-leveling feature via the single press of a button in just in case). The included 500mAh battery translates to four to six minutes of flight time, depending on how aggressive you are with maneuvers. Recharging takes just 60 minutes to get you back in the air.
Best Indoor: GPToys G610
Designed solely for indoor use, the GPToys G610 remote control helicopter is an ideal choice for buyers looking for an inexpensive option that’s easy to control and ready to go out of the box. Good for children ages 14 years and up, the 50-minute charge time enables eight minutes of flight with around 50 feet of distance from the controller. With 3.5 channels of control available, the GPToys unit enables flyers to handle up and down, left and right, forward, backward and hovering with gyroscope stabilization to help maintain flight stability.
At just over 10 inches in length, the GPToys has multicolored LED lights for flying around any indoor area in the dark without losing sight of the helicopter. The inclusion of dual-rotors boosts overall flight control, making the GPToys good for beginners just getting started or intermediate users who want to start pushing the limits while feeling comfortable about quickly leveling off in case of emergency.
Best Splurge: Blade 230s BNF
The Blade 230s BNF ('Blind & Fly') remote control helicopter is a standout choice for control, performance and aerobatics. If you’re looking to the sky for flips, inverted flight, loops and rolls, the Blade 230s is a go-to option, thanks to its dual high-speed brushless motors. The fiber-filled plastic design feels durable while in your hand, but also strong enough to handle a crash or two without causing too much damage to any integral equipment, including the impact-resistant main blades.
The 230s is definitely not for beginners. The inclusion of a progressive flight mode aims to build your aerobatic skills quickly, but there's also a recovery and panic mode that pairs with Blade’s innovative SAFE technology and quickly level the helicopter in case you get into trouble. The 800mAh lithium battery allows for around five to six minutes of flight time when charged.
