Which remote control helicopter would my boyfriend like for Christmas?
My boyfriend wants a remote control helicopter for Christmas. He really liked the one we saw being demonstrated in Selfridge's last week. The only problem is I can't remember what it was called. Does anybody know which one it may have been? It was quite small, was capable of hovering, and was priced at 29.99. Otherwise what other remote control helicopters might he like?
Hi the one that you've probably seen is the Picco Z which is distrubuted by Flying Toys / Silverlit in the UK.
These are great fun and basically fly themselves and you can often see them for sale in Tesco's for about £20.00.
There's another few options available too, dependant upon what you're willing to spend (and beware, you can spend over £1000 very easily on a 'proper' radio controlled helicopter) the E-Flite Blade MCX is an excellent little model.
The MCX flies like a very tame real RC helicopter and can be repaired and upgraded and are likely to cost around £100 dependant upon where you get it from.
Either way - the Picco Z Helicopters are great fun and don't require any training or skills to operate, it can take months of dedication and practice to learn how to fly a proper RC helicopter so the Picco Z is probably a good place to start and then if he really likes it get on to a search engine or forum like www.rcheliaddict.co.uk

The more expensive 1s are much better, and i think theres 1s for like £100 or more which are really gd…how much you spend depends on how much he will appriecate it i would say.
