A Quick Guide To RC Helicopter Tricks
RC helicopters are ideal for doing impressive tricks, and sometimes it can be hard to describe what exactly they do. If you are one of the many who want to learn how to make your remote control helicopter do amazing stunts, and actually want to know the name of the stunt you are doing, read on. Here are some popular RC helicopter stunts to try.
- The Auto Pushover – this is basically a dive straight into the ground, with a last minute rise upwards before the helicopter hits the ground. (Note: This means the helicopter gets out safely from the crash. Do not faceplant your helicopter and call that an Auto Pushover.)
- Loops – this genre of tricks basically covers anything that makes the helicopter go upside down in a circular motion with the tip of the helicopter directing which way it is headed in the loop. There are many ways to do this, including Pirouetting Loops, Outside Loops and more.
- Death Spiral – the most dramatic trick around. Fly the helicopter straight up into the air, then let it drop straight down while it spirals clockwise or counterclockwise. Once it reaches eye level, make the helicopter fly parallel to the ground in order to avoid crashing.
- Upside Down Stall – flipping your helicopter and making it hover inches away from the ground is called an upside down stall.
- Barrel Roll – when you perform a loop in which the helicopter’s sides are what turns upside down. The front and back of the helicopter move as little as possible.
- Stalls – making your helicopter move slowly, or making your helicopter hover.
Of course, there are many more different tricks and maneuvers to try out, however, these are the most popular tricks that you can only do with an RC helicopter. Don’t have an RC helicopter? Buy one today!
