Prices will vary greatly depending on your local region.

It is possible to buy an ARF microheli for as little as $150, but as with most things in life, the

quality of the items you receive will be proportional to however much you pay.

The Romans did not have R/C helicopters but they understood the principle perfectly: caveat

emptor.

28.1.2. How high will an R/C helicopter fly?

A R/C helicopter does not balance by itself, and must be balanced by radio control. When you

can't see the R/C helicopter anymore, it will fall from the sky because it can no longer be bal-

anced. Therefore, the maximum altitude of an R/C helicopter is limited by the visual acuity of

the person flying it.

28.1.3. How long will an R/C helicopter fly?

This depends on the battery and motor. Aerobatic models will typically fly from 5 to 10 minutes,

but models which are configured for duration flight can fly up to 30 minutes. The unofficial

world record for an electric R/C helicopter flight is 1 hour and 48 minutes.
