The Spinmaster R/C Air Hogs AH-64 Apache Havoc Heli carries a license from Boeing. You will be happy to know that no assembly is required. It is also very easy to fly and is suitable for 8 years upwards. There is a Four way control and you fly indoors in any room. Average flight time approximately 6-8 minutes. The toy Includes lithium polymer flight battery in the helicopter. The transmitter requires 6 AA batteries which are sold separately.
You controller unit has a dual purpose. It controls the helicopter in flight but also charges it up when required. Your average flight time is 15 to 20 mins and it would cost plenty if the batteries were not rechargeable.There is a spare propeller with the unit is case of damage.
From 2000 a new range of transmission wavelength has come in to mainstream use in the toy market. With such small wavelengths the aerial on the helicopter needs only be 3 to 5 cms and that on the transmitter 10 cms max.The added advantage here is that overall power consumption is much lower.However you must have line of site between your unit and the heli.
Radio Control electronics have three essential elements. The transmitter is the controller. Transmitters have control sticks, triggers, switches, and dials at the user's finger tips. The receiver is mounted in the model. It receives and processes the signal from the transmitter, translating it into signals that are sent to the servos. The number of servos in a model determines the number of channels the radio must provide.
Recently, electronic speed controllers are replacing the old variable resistors, which were extremely inefficient. They are entirely electronic, so they do not require any moving parts or servos. In the 1980s, a Japanese electronics company, Futaba, introduced wheeled steering for RC cars. It has been widely accepted along with a trigger control for throttle. It's often configured for right hand users, so the transmitter looks like a gun with a wheel attached on its right side. Pulling the trigger would accelerate the car forward, while pushing it would either stop the car or cause it to go into reverse. There are some models that comes in left-handed versions too.
There are thousands of RC vehicles available. Most are toys suitable for children. What separates toy grade RC from hobby grade RC is the modular characteristic of the standard RC equipment. RC toys generally have simplified circuits, often with the receiver and servos incorporated into one circuit. It's almost impossible to take that particular toy circuit and transplant it into other RCs.
It is now accepted practice to swap modules between different devices. So you can take unit from a car and add it to a model boat, for example.But do watch out for your local laws which often do not allow the same frequency fro air and land devices.
Makers today are offering crystals that plug into the transmitter and allow a change of frequency as you please.These can also now incorporate several different channels in their band.
