Father’s Day is a holiday celebrated around the world, dedicated to honoring fathers. Normally, Father’s Day is celebrated with gift giving and family activities. Why not combine these two great ideas and get your father something RC for Father’s Day? The RC toys on our website make really great Father’s Day gift ideas and they can also provide quality family time learning how to fly. Every item on this list is a quality, easy to fly RC aircraft, choose whichever one you like. This article will help you decide what to get your Dad for Father’s Day. If you would like to learn more about RC helicopters, we encourage you to read the many informative articles on our information site: www.rchelicopter.com
Esky Lama RC Helicopter - The Esky Lama is a great first RC helicopter. The Coaxial (dual rotor) design guarantees stability, and the included 4 channel transmitter aids control. You can fly the Esky Lama indoors or outdoors (depending upon the wind speed). An empty gym is ideal for flying this aircraft. Crashing is almost impossible, just keep it away from walls and other obstacles. The Esky Lama also comes with a flight simulator cable, so that you can fly all sorts of models on your computer using the FMS software. Esky Lamas make great gifts for anyone interested in RC helicopters, or model aviation in general.
Easy Star RC Airplane - Want a great electric plane that’s also easy to fly? Then the Multiplex EasyStar is the perfect choice. Anyone can learn to fly the Easy Star, because of it’s stable flight characteristics and durable foam construction. The Easy Star can be easily repaired with super glue (cyano acrylate) and has been known to sustain only minor damage in the most severe of crashes. The Easy Star is also a popular platform for RC Aerial Photography. Get this plane if your father is interested in RC airplanes, or aerial photography. The EasyStar is the perfect platform for modifications and experiments. Note: The Multiplex EasyStar now comes in an attractive silver/white color scheme. We will have an article about this change published within a few days.
Airship America RC Blimp - With the Fourth of July so close, what could be more appropriate than an RC blimp, decorated like the American Flag? Like all of our Mach IIIz blimps, three channel control lets you control direction, speed, and altitude. RC blimps are perfect for anyone who wants to fly indoors. The Mach IIIz is un-crashable as it bounces harmlessly off of any object that it hits. Like all of our RC toys, a full range of replacement parts are available. You can get helium for the Airship America Blimp from any party or wedding supply store. Please do not fly the Mach IIIz outdoors, it will get blown away in the wind and lost.
Vortex RC Airplane - Get a Vortex if you’re Dad is interested in RC airplanes. The Vortex is even easier to fly than it’s larger cousin, the Multiplex EasyStar. Fully proportional two channel control lets you maneuver safely in almost any park, and its durable construction helps minimize crash damage.
FireFly and Micro Mosquito - Both the FireFly and Micro Mosquito are great indoor RC helicopters. Each comes complete with a small charging base and a radio transmitter. These RC helicopters are for indoor use only, but you would be surprised how fun it is to fly t
hem in your living room! Land anywhere, and bug the family pets with these excellent micro RC helicopters. In the event of a crash (or a mishap with the cat) replacement parts are available on our website. Choose the Micro Mosquito if you want extra control (provided by a tail rotor), and the FireFly if you just want to fly casually around the house.
That’s a pretty daunting list, but every item makes a nice surprise for Dad. Choose something that you think is interesting, and then spend the day learning to fly it together. RC flying provides great opportunities for spending quality time with the family, so have a happy Father’s Day!
