Hello and welcome to www.heli-world.co.uk

This site has been started in order to share with you some of the things that we have learned after buying flying and repairing a number of radio controlled electric helicopters.

It all started with a Twister Bell 47, micro twin rotor heli but soon went onto Twister Fixed Pitch then Collective Pitch. These three were all RTF (ready to fly) so a T-Rex 450 XL kit was next. Following a successful build sights were set on a larger model so Ikarus Eco 8 was next. The Eco 8 may be an old design but it is an very good helicopter to fly, this I found out after working on two Kyosho EP helicopters, the difference in flight, performance and even obtaining spare parts in very marked ! Next came the Century Swift, T-Rex 450 SE and now I have one of the first T-Rex 600 a 50 size helicopters that have just come to the UK. The T-Rex 600 build will be included on this site soon or look at www.ukheli.com !! Aerial Photos have also been a project in the last few weeks, see how I did them with the ECO 8.

As said at the start, we are sharing the things that we have found and still finding, we are not experts but just enjoy building, flying along with problem solving, modifications and even that odd repair after that flight that just did not go by the book!

So, hit the link below and have a look around, use the "Contacts" button and tell us what you are making and flying or ask anyquestion you may have. I will also try to add photos of your heli if you contact me, have a look in the gallery, fuel powered too.
