Radio controlled (RC) helicopters, although often grouped with RC airplanes, are unique because of the differences in construction, aerodynamics and flight training. Several designs of RC helicopters exist, some with limited maneuverability (and thus easier to learn to fly), and those with more maneuverability (and thus harder to learn to fly).

Flight controls allow pilots to control the throttle, pitch, roll, yaw, vertical speed, sideways speed, forward and backward speed, and the pitch of the rotor blades.

An advanced form of RC helicopter flying is called 3d. During 3d flying, helicopters perform advanced aerobatics in a free flowing freestyle form. There are a number of 3d competitions around the world, two of the best known are 3d Masters in the uk and the eXtreme Flight Championship xfc in the USA.
