Hummingbird Helicopter - article about Hummingbird Helicopter

Although my kid has been asking for an RC helicopter for a long time, I was initially a little bit reluctant to get it for him. He has been a big fan of RC cars and boats for a while, and has been pretty responsible with them, but an RC electric helicopter seemed like too big a step for a 10 year old. Although radio controlled helicopters are pretty small, I was still sure a helicopter rotor could do damage in a crash! I knew that he would not intentionally do something irresponsible with it, but I figured that accidents could happen.

To say that he was excited would be the understatement of the year! A few of his friends already had hummingbird helicopters, and now they could all play together. The kit came ready to fly, except for the fact that the battery needed to be charged. He was so anxious to get it going that it seemed impossible for him to wait the requisite half an hour. Soon, the battery was ready, and we were good to go.

He took the Hummingbird helicopter outside into our backyard. We have a pretty big shared commons behind our house, so there was ample room for flying a helicopter radio controlled. At first, he had a little bit of trouble controlling it, but soon it was flying along pretty well. As a matter of fact, we were both pretty happy with the way it performed except for one small detail: the flight time was way too short.

A radio controlled electric helicopter uses up its energy pretty fast, and takes a while to charge. This is why I recommend that, if you buy a hummingbird helicopter, you get an extra battery pack with it. That way, you can get at least 15 or 20 minutes of fun in before you have to recharge it. Recharging the batteries can take a while, so you don't want to have to stop and do it after only one flight.
