The natural next step after a co-axial helicopter is a fixed pitched (FP) helicopter. A self-stabilizing feature such as the bell structure is especially beneficial for this transition. Acting as a mechanical gyroscope, the spinning weights or heavier paddles at the end of the flybar automatically center the main rotor, making it easier for new pilots to hover. The models we recommend here would be the Walkera CB100, 4#6 BELL, **CB180Z-PRO & Eflite MSR, *120 SR. *Slightly bigger or **bigger helicopters are more suited for outdoors.

We highly recommend the Walkera Lama2-1 & LM100D02 for indoor pilots and Walkera 53QD & Lama 400D for outdoor pilots. Make sure you get a package with a transmitter radio (WK2402, WK2403, WK2602, WK2603, WK2801PRO) if you don't already have a Walkera transmitter.

Toy helicopters usually consist of older 3 to 3 1/2 channel infrared designs and cheaper materials. Consisting of toy motors, batteries, receivers and transmitters, a toy is not made to last more than 50 to 80 flights. These parts tend to fall apart at about the same time so the toy helicopter is usually trashed after its life-cycle. On the other hand, hobby helicopters offer superior performance, better durability and most importantly continued parts support, so most hobbyists tend to maintain their hobby helicopters over several years.
