What do the Channels on RC helicopters Mean?
It can be confusing sometimes to understand what people are talking about when they say "channel". Example: "That helicopter has 3 channels"
2 channels:
The helicopter can go up, down, turn left and right. (The nose of the helicopter usually has a weight in the tip to always make it go forwards.)
3 channels:
The helicopter can go up, down, turn left and right and forwards and backwards.
4 channels:
The helicopter can go up, down, turn left and right, forwards and backwards and move from left to right. (It would move towards you as seen on the picture at the bottem)
5 channels:
Only rarely used by transmitters (controllers).
6 channels:
Allows full control of the helicopter such as inverted flight (upside down) loops, flips etc. Often called sport flying or 3D flying.
