If you are looking for a new challenge with an RC helicopter, and have already mastered the flying of all manner of 3 and 4 Channel helicopters, then look no further than 6 Channel RC Helicopters. These are the most advanced helicopters you will find on the market; they have many more moving parts than the other models we have looked at so far.
The main variations you will immediately find between the 4ch and 6ch RC helicopter models is that on 4ch models the main rotor blade angle is fixed whereas on the 6ch models the angle of the main rotor blades actually changes depending on whether you increase or decrease the throttle. This makes them much more responsive, but also more difficult to control.
Once you feel you can handle the controls of 4ch models, there is no reason why you cannot make the step up and start looking at these more advanced models.
The 6ch models do get a little pricier, due to the number of intricate parts. You can get a Walkera 22E 6ch model from around £130. If you are looking for something a bit more powerful, then we will look at these models next.
