If you like remote controlled models and have plenty of space, then you may want to think about buying one of the new large remote control helicopters that have recently been introduced by several brands. These helicopters, which can sometimes be as large as ten feet long, rival real helicopters in agility. They are expensive and can cost three thousand dollars or more. As with many trends, some people just have to have one of their own. So, the next time you are walking in the countryside and you see a helicopter flying around, look again closely. At first you will probably think that it is a real helicopter that is just further away then you first thought. But look again and you will probably see someone controlling the helicopter with a huge remote control unit. If you see one of these remote controlled helicopters in flight, deem yourself very fortunate. Because it is so expensive to own one of these beautiful models, they are also still fairly uncommon. However, because I am an ardent collector myself, I have thought about buying one of these large remote control helicopters, and I even put a bid on one in Ebay once, but in the end I did not get it and instead decided to wait until the price comes down a bit more. Just as with any new, popular item, big remote control helicopters are the latest fad, but in a few years, I am certain there will be a better supply and the cost will drop. Then I will be ready and willing to purchase. But until then, I have a very generous and rich friend who owns one, and I will rehearse flying his. I have already taken it out once - it is so much more powerful than the normal, small remote control helicopters that you are most likely used to. When you first turn it on, the big remote control helicopter’s blades spin with such ferociousness, that you may worry that you are going to break something. and then, when it lifts off the ground, you will feel a huge sense of accomplishment, knowing that you are the one who is controlling it. And if you are able to make a successful, smooth landing as well, then you can truthfully consider yourself a helicopter pilot, because even those very experienced with small remote control helicopters will be impressed to see someone land a big remote control helicopter, because it really is totally different. So if you happen to be fortunate, rich, or just determined enough to purchase one of your own, take pleasure in your time with your large helicopter. I guarantee you that it will be one of the most exciting experiences of your life. For me, the entire event was surreal, and when it was all over, I had to call everyone I knew and tell them how I had flown a 10 foot helicopter and landed it smoothly. I bet that’s how pilots feel the first time they fly a real aircraft.
