Many of the possible uses for a remote controlled mini-helicopter, in unmanned or autonomous flight, are summarised in The Solutions. And if you would like to know more about what is happening in the front of unmanned autonomous helicopters, read about the new autonomous flight helicopters. For those wanting to learn how to operate a remote control helicopter, there is the possibility of attending a flying school.

Technical revolution in helicopter mechanics
An average 3.5 metre long mini-helicopter weighs 56 kilos and can carry about half its own weight in maximum payload. Modern helicopters weigh a fraction of this and will easily take a payload equal to their own weight . This makes these mini-helicopters more versatile and usefull.

What will you find here?
On this site, you can read all about high performance mini-helicopters. General description of these machines can be found in the chapter The Machines. Here, different RC helicopters are described, like the Fuel powered and Electric powered remote control helicopters, like the new battery-powered versions.

AUTONOMOUS FLIGHT

The latest versions of remote control helicopters can be fitted for full autonomous flight! Read al about it here.

FIGHT AGAINST DRUGS WITH 'CANNA-CHOPPER'
