Welcome to the In Miniature radio controlled helicopters. Learning to fly R/C helicopters is arguable the
most challenging aspect of model flying. There are many different types of model helicopters available now including
mini electric models up to large internal combustion powered models
Electric Helicopters - electric r/c helicopters, both micro and mini are a relatively recent development made possible by the
advances in radio control unit miniaturisation and improvements in electric motors and rechargable batteries. Many different models
are now available both in kit form and as ready-to-fly kits.
The smaller, electric powered helicopters are generally more difficult to control than their IC powered counterparts due to their size
but can be used indoors as well as outdoors. They also cost less to repair, an important consideration when learning to fly !
IC Helicopters - Internal combustion or gas powered helicopters are easier for a beginner to
control but generally they can't be used indoors due to the fumes and the large space required. They are also more
expensive to repair.
Helicopter Simulators
Simulators are ideal for beginniners learning to fly a model helicopter
Model Helicopter Reviews
We are hoping to build up a database of model helicopter kit/product reviews. Please write us a short review of your experiences
and thoughts about it (ideally less than 600 words).
In Miniature Forums
The In Miniature Forums are now active. Here you can discuss all aspects of model helicopters.
