How to Fly a 6 Channel RC Helicopter

Flying remote control (RC) helicopters is a hobby people find rewarding and amusing. Two-channel and three-channel helicopters are easier to control than four- to six-channel helicopters. The number of channels a helicopter has corresponds to how many different controls are used to fly the helicopter. Learning to control the flight can be intimidating, but with practice you can master the steps.

Instructions

- 1
  Inspect the RC helicopter parts. Make sure that the battery wires are not tangled and all the other remote-control parts are not rubbing each other. Check the screw that holds on the helicopter blade to make sure it is tight enough to prevent the helicopter from moving around and falling apart, but not too tight that the blades are unable to move.

  Prepare the helicopter parts. Install the batteries into the helicopter and the transmitter. Attach the antenna to the transmitter and then turn on the transmitter. You should see the power light turn on.

  Turn on the helicopter. Balance the helicopter on the ground and set the throttle down to start turning the rotor blades. The motors will start working and the blades will gradually turn faster.

  Gradually increase the throttle as the helicopter starts to fly. Start maneuvering the flight. There are two sticks on the transmitter that control the flight. The left stick controls the combination of balance, control and throttle when it moves up and down. Move it left to right to control the direction of the helicopter. The right stick controls the cyclic left and right. Move it forward and backward to lift and bring down the helicopter.
