The internet is flooded with RC Helicopters and it is very difficult deciding on what model to choose.

We have RC helicopters suitable for the beginner all the way to the advanced pilot and we specialize in the E-SKY and Walkera range which are excellent value for money and very high quality.

3 Channel RC Helicopters


3 Channel RC Helicopters are the easiest models on the market to fly, our range of Salvation helicopters start at just £24.99.

These 3 Channel Palm Sized RC Helicopters are fully controllable and can fly forwards/backwards, up/down and spin left/right on their axis. This makes them fantastic for flying around the home or office.
Our most popular set is the Salvation 12 battle set, in this set you get two battle helicopters so you and a friend can take to the skys and blast each other to the ground!
The Salvation helicopter range are excellent value and are very good quality. Unlike most micro helicopters on the market today we stock all spare parts for these models.





4 Channel RC Helicopters


Our 4 Channel RC Helicopters are larger than the 3 Channel models and more serious RC helicopters. These models are a perfect entry in to the world of RC helicopters and will enable you to develop the skills needed to fly larger more advanced 6 channel helicopters.
With 4 Channel helicopters you have very precise control and can fly forwards/backwards, up/down, left/right and spin left/right on their axis.

Our models start at just £69.99 with the E-SKY Co-Comanche.

These models are great for beginners but are mainly for indoor use, unless there is no wind outside.


We also have a excellent range of scale 4ch models from Walkera. We have the Walkera Airwolf, Dauphin and Chinook.

These helicopters are fantastic quality and really have to be seen to believed! Just like the E-SKY range they are ideally suited to indoor flying unless there is no wind outside.

If you want a beginners model which is alittle more challenging and more suited to outdoor flying then you should consider either the E-SKY Honeybee or the Walkera 4G1B.

Both of these models are more challenging than the other 4 channel models above but still good for a beginner with more ambition.





6 Channel RC Helicopters


6 Channel RC Helicopters
are the most advanced helicopters on the market. They have more moving parts than the 4ch models.
The difference between the 4ch and 6ch models is that on 4ch models the angle of the main rotor blades is fixed (fixed pitch) where as on the 6ch models the angle of the main rotor blades changes when you increase/decrease throttle (collective pitch) making them much more responsive.
These models are a good step up from 4ch models once you have mastered flying.

However if you a beginner and what a challenge then there is no reason why you cant learn to fly one of these models, however a training stand and plenty of patience is recommended!

We have several 6 channel RC Helicopters to chose from, models start at just £129.99 for the Walkera 22E. We also have larger more powerful models such as the E-SKY Honey Bee King 3 and E-SKY Belt-CP V2. Which ever model you choose you can be confident even if you crash you won’t be stuck long with out parts. We aim to keep all spares in stock and ship orders same day providing you order before 3:00pm.
