Where you plan to fly is probably the most overlooked aspect when people buy their helicopters Syma X5SW for the first time. The reason is that usually people want to go for the "cool" helicopter that is as big as their budget could afford. Well, that is great if you are primarily an outdoor flier, but that makes absolutely no sense if you would end up flying indoor most of the time. If flying inside the comfort of your house is your cup of tea, then obviously getting a smaller helicopter is more logical.
- Know how committed you plan to be.
The level of commitment you plan to be with this hobby is one of the most decisive factors when it comes to choosing the type of helicopter to buy. A lot of people spend a lot of money on an expensive standard size helicopter only to find out later that they only have one or two hours a week to play around with it - which is not enough time to be a competent enough pilot to fly such models enjoyably. So this is what a lot of old hand hobbyist would recommend: If you plan to fly just for fun after work or casually on the weekends, then a co-axial model would be best.
On the other hand, if you plan to delve full-steam ahead into the hobby, fly your helicopter every chance you get, and maybe even fly competitively later on, then by all means get those expensive models right off the bat.
- Choose a model where service and parts are available.
When buying a RC helicopter cheap quadcopter, one of the most important aspects to consider is whether or not your local hobby store or hobby groups are able to support the particular model in terms of knowledge and spare parts.
A lot of people order RC helicopters syma quadcopter online because they could get it cheaper only to find out later when it breaks down that the only way to get replacement parts is to order online once again. Needless to say this can lead to deep frustrations. Make sure that doesn't happen to you by visiting your local hobby store and get a feel of what brand/models are favored. In doing so, you can rest assured that the particular model/brand will have abundant of spare parts and support base for you any time you need it.
Last but not least, always remember to consider your budget. While RC helicopter is a very enjoyable hobby, costs can run very high if you're not careful. Buy models that you can afford and you will be able to enjoy flying with a peace of mind.
