RC Helicopter Kit Brands
If you're thinking about investing in a new helicopter kit form, we've got to run some research by you.
After all, we want to make sure you're investing wisely and getting something that fits your needs and putting your money to good use!
So let's check out some top brands together, promising you a hassle-free and fun RC helicopter experience!
SAB
For a few years now, people have been enjoying flying with SAB — a solid brand in the helicopter kit community.
Their helicopters are practically "bulletproof" and have a great rep and fixing them (if ever needed) is surprisingly easy, not a headache at all.
Yes they come at a "premium" price point, but they are good machines. They fly nice, they are predictable and you won't outgrow it for a while.
Totally a brand we recommend, hence why they are a featured RC helicopter kit in our wide selection of products.
Align
Align offers many stable and powerful larger-scale choppers. They're all about torque and lightning-fast response, and you can totally see it in every helicopter kit form they put out.
Their latest models come equipped with the new FL rotor head system.
It's designed to keep the center of gravity super low, which means less resistance when you're pulling off cool maneuvers. Trust us, it makes flying so much more thrilling!
These helicopters might be just a little larger than what you're used to, but once you experience their power and precision, you'll be hooked. Seriously, why didn't you switch sooner?
They're definitely a favorite in the community, and it's easy to see why!

After Mastering the Current Skill Level
Once you've mastered flying your current RC helicopter and are ready for a new challenge, perhaps a higher "skill level helicopter" might be a good idea.
Upgrading to a more complex kit can help you become an even better pilot, and in general feel more ready to fly.
