Title: rc for kids Post by: sandy1990 on June 15, 2015, 02:27:16 PM Hello,
I don't know anything about the rc but my son has inclination towards it and spent money on couple of cheap rc helicopters but was a waste. please give some ideas for kids of 9 years of age within limited budget. something he could do it. thanks a million ton in advance for your guidance. Title: Re: rc for kids Post by: anwar on June 15, 2015, 04:55:37 PM These days, there are two ways to start.
1. Start with a simulator first. After he has a bit of finger experience, buy a real RC craft which you can get parts. That can be a quadrotor or a beginner friendly pusher prop plane like the Sky Surfer. 2. Start with a toy quad. There are small yet fairly stable toy quads that are sturdier than toy helis. And when it is time, move on to the ones mentioned in [1] above. Title: Re: rc for kids Post by: anwar on June 15, 2015, 05:18:23 PM Oh... forgot to mention the most important bit. Take him to the nearest RC field, the rest will happen automatically ! There is nothing more satisfying in RC than helping others get in to the fold.

Title: Re: rc for kids Post by: anwar on June 16, 2015, 08:16:39 PM Request forum members, especially Delhi based members to step in and help with identifying the nearest field.
I am unable to comment on specific models of toy quads. One way to do it is to buy the ones demonstrated in malls or streets, as they typically pick the sturdier ones for demos. Forum members, if you know of sure fire ones, please pitch in. As far as sim is concerned, it would be best to get a basic radio + sim combination so that you can use the radio for real RC flying when you are ready for it. The forum has lots of discussions here on beginner friendly radios that come with sim support. |
