Hi Battery Expert, From a technical standpoint, an airplane is a fixed wing aircraft while a helicopter is a rotary wing aircraft. But from the RC hobby standpoint, an RC plane is a challenge to learn, and an RC heli is much, much more difficult to learn. If you are looking at one of the toys like the Air Hogs havoc, then anyone can fly them. / Well, flying might be a bit of a stretch. These things are only marginally controllable. And they rarely last more than a week. But cheap and fun. It is a 2 channel heli. You control up/down and turning left/right (and this turn control is what is barely workable). To get forward flight, you need to add weight to the nose (a thumbtack). Then it always flys forward. The next step up would be a co-axial model with counter rotating rotors. /rc_helicopters_e-flite_blade_cx_ The Blade CX2 is the current typical version of this type. This one is 4 channel. Throttle to move up/down, yaw to rotate left/right, pitch to move forward/back and roll to slip left/right. This is pretty much only usable indoors. Beyond that, the sky is the limit. You can spend thousands of dollars on a larger, outdoor electric or nitro powered RC heli. But these are very challenging to learn to fly. There are a ton of ways to get started with both RC planes and helis. I recommend that you do a lot of reading on the dedicated RC forums.

All Answer To Toys Questions

Answer 1

Helicopters float. Airplanes cant.

Answer 2

A helicopter can fly vertically up and down, travel forward and backward. It can go left and right without turning. The copter can face forward and still go left and right. An airplane needs ground to build up speed before it can take up. It cant go back and forth. It can only go forward. It cant go vertical up and down. It can go left and right but it cant make a sharp left or right.

Answer 3

an airplane has wings to the side, like people normally fly in on an airline, (delta, southwest, etc) a helicopter is usually shaped like a tadpole and has a propeller on the top. airplanes fly only forward and helicopters fly forward, sideways, straight up and down. here are links to pics. helicopter: /334archives/ateam/ airplane: /direct/dbimage/50200967/Radio_Controlled_
