RC Helicopters

RC helicopters are one of the most exciting and skill-based parts of aeromodelling — hovering, circuits, precision manoeuvres, and full-on 3D flying all in one platform. From small electric helis to large-scale machines, helicopters bring a unique sound, presence, and challenge that always draws attention at the field.

What can you do with RC helicopters?

Helicopters are incredibly versatile. Some pilots enjoy smooth scale flying and realistic approaches, while others focus on precision training or high-energy 3D manoeuvres. Whatever your style, helicopters reward careful setup, practice, and progression.

  • Hovering and training: mastering full control in all orientations.
  • Sport flying: smooth circuits, stall turns, and aerobatics.
  • Scale flying: realistic operation and presentation.
  • 3D aerobatics: advanced manoeuvres including inverted flight and dynamic routines.
Interested in helicopters? KAMS members fly a range of helicopter types and are always happy to share advice on equipment, setup, and learning progression.
