The remote control helicopter has been into existence since the early 1990’s. the technology is gaining popularity among many technology lovers in the world over. Be it for industrial use, military or for entertainment purposes the small machines are really making a name for themselves in the toy industry. The advantage is that the machines are also getting used in productive manner like aerial photography and weather reading.
In the US and other regions prone to hurricanes and earthquakes, remote control helicopter has been used to access the damage done and the humanitarian crisis in such regions. The Red Cross or any other disaster management organizations sends an unmanned helicopter to such a region and collects valuable data to be used in resolving the crisis. The helicopters may then be used to drop supplies such as food aid and medication to ground stations. This is one of the uses of these helicopters on a civilian level. In the military the idea is rather common with most of the armed forces of different nations.
The remote control helicopter has been used to spy on enemy territory by the US marine. The unmanned helicopter is fitted with a high definition camera that can take pictures from amazingly high heights. The pictures may be used to aid a ground hit team when combined with other communication equipments like radio communication. The cameras act like huge telescopes that can see almost beyond all walls. This will give the marines a much needed advantage on foreign grounds. The military has also used remote controlled helicopters to access site rumored to contain bombs instead of risking soldier’s lives.
The use of the remote control helicopter is not limited to the military.
Many media houses are replacing their helicopters with remote controlled ones due to the cost involved of running and maintaining the real thing. You will need a fully employed pilot in your company to be able to run the helicopter. This will translate to huge expenditure in salary and allowances just like any other employee but probably the amount will be higher. Next you will incur huge bills in terms of fuelling the helicopter for photography trips some which are not worth and lastly you will need to constantly pay huge license fees to the government to have you helicopter up and running every day. All this cost is minus the cost of maintaining cost, insurance and security costs.
These helicopters are easy to service and maintain as most of the maintenance involved is to keep them ‘juiced’. The hardly break down and when they do is mainly a small technical hiccup that can be quickly resolved by the owners. Another important thing to note is to avoid crashing the helicopter as this will surely damage the machine and at time it will be beyond repair. Like any other machine or tool, always keep the mobile parts properly oiled and greased to avoid wearing out from friction. Thin clear oil is advised and at no given time should you use crude oil. A well maintained remote control helicopter will never disappoint you and will be a good money back guarantee.
