Fun as r/c helicopters are though, for many of us, they are prohibitively expensive. The cost to own, operate and maintain these aircraft is no laughing matter so a potential hobbyist should really think things through before getting into it. Having said that however, recent advances have brought r/c helicopter flying down to earth in the form of small, electric quadcopters and multirotors. While definitely in a different league than the bigger, gas powered models, these small aircraft offer almost the same thrill as flying the big ones but with significantly less risk. After all, crashing a sub $50 quadcopter is definitely less stressful than totaling a thousand dollar helicopter, right? Besides, these aircraft can be flown just about anywhere, even indoors.
Like anything else, there are many to choose from and features differ between manufacturers so you have to really take your pick. There are models that come with a camera to give you a taste of aerial photography, while others are geared towards racing or aerobatic maneuvers. Sizes vary quite a bit too. These aircraft range from palm size to about as big as a dinner plate. As for availability, these aircraft should be readily available at your local toy store but buying online should make more sense as you can get more in-depth information than a store clerk can give you.
