As well as the usual full-size RC helicopters available to buy, there are also a number of palm sized and micro remote control helicopters on the market. These 4 channel helicopters are not toys and the helicopter models are still extremely well-built and have enough power for most enthusiasts.
You can get these smaller RC helicopters from the top brands such as Walkera and E-SKY. The helicopters can provide you with many hours of indoor fun and are great for all RC helicopter hobbyists.
Two of the most popular palm sized and micro models you can get are the E-SKY Lama V4 and the Walkera HM 5G6-1 Metal Edition. These packages provide everything you need to fly a micro helicopter. We will look briefly at each model in turn.
The Walkera HM 5G6-1 2.4G Metal Edition is a small 4 channel RC helicopter with a co-axial mechanism. Despite its small size, looks can be deceiving as it is still fully controllable. The helicopter is ideal for use in the home or office and is great for beginners.
The Lama V4 utilises a coaxial counter-rotating head and a 35 MHz radio. This helicopter is also great for first-time fliers and those who want to have some fun without some of the more intricate workings of the more complex models.
Whichever one you go for, you will be sure to have hours of fun with your micro RC helicopter. They are great for indoor flying and who knows, you may become hooked and want to take it up as a hobby with the more advanced models.
