Alternatively, you can have a blast teaching your loved ones to fly with affordable options available at HeliDirect. Don't let the season dampen your passion for flying!
So what makes a good micro helicopter that suitable for winter flying? Safety features, ease of flying, quick out-of-the-box setup, RTF package, crashability...? Let's dive in and see what options our micro heli market has to offer, and find out which heli matches your demand for this winter or for getting others into the hobby.
Budget Micro Size Helicopters
First thing first, entry cost! We know it, and we got you covered. Cheap beginner helis come in many shapes & sizes, but the best bang for your buck would be the ones that do most, and cost least. And the first brand that comes to our mind is YX Heli, a well known manufacturer for small, yet stable & durable beginner helicopters.
YX PD100 Black Hornet
The $60,000 spy helicopter by US military? NO!!! But it's kind of... Actually it's a cool toy version of the real PD100 that makes you look like a badass.
PD100 is Ready-to-fly out of the box, comes with 720p camera, phone connect, self-stabilized control and super quiet noise profile, perfect for a spy heli!
XK K110s - Mild 3D & Sporter
XK introduces the K110s, a remarkable addition to their lineup, combining self-stabilized flight with 3D capability. This innovative feature not only allows you to enhance your 3D flying skills, but also ensures durability, even after crashes.
Imagine the convenience of resuming your flight immediately after a crash... Many skilled pilots have chosen the K110 platform, showcasing its potential as an exceptional 3D training tool.
Up the game for better performance
F180 V2 - The perfect helicopter for beginners
At first glance, F180 V2 by YX is hell of a contender with all bells & whistle. It is the improved version of F180 and is specificaly desined for beginners. F180 V2 is equipped with GPS, optical sensor, 6-asis gyro and self-stabilized system, making crashing it almost impossible, unless you wanted to fly it into a wall.
Another plus with F180 V2 is that it's got an FPV camera so you can pair it and fly in first person view if you have a pair of goggles lying around.
In terms of durability, F180 V2 is nearly indestructible with many CNC metal parts & nylon carbon-fiber blades.
FLywing FW200 - The 3D Performer
The 200 sized heli by Flywing is by no mean a lesser heli compared to F180 V2, even without an FPV camera.
Comes equipped with all latest technologies such as GPS, optical sensor, compass, FW200 is already a safe & easy to fly heli for beginners.
What really makes FW200 shine is its 3D capability, a.k.a flying up-side-down for those who don't know. With the H1 V2 Flight Controller, you can program automated GPS flight or show off its pre-programmed 3D flight to your friends much easier than the previous version.
Pure 3D Performers - Goosky S Series
If you're a seasoned veteran with extensive experience in 3D flying, and you're seeking pure fun from a scaled-down 400-500 size helicopter, look no further than the Goosky S series.
These helicopters may lack safety features, but they are formidable creatures in their own right. They possess the full capability to perform all the maneuvers of their larger counterparts, right in the comfort of your own backyard. While indoor flight is possible for the skilled, we advise against it.
