Radio-controlled helicopters are immense fun. There is almost nothing like piloting one of these machines through the air. The only trouble is, breaking an RC helicopter is very easy to do and often happens, especially for beginner RC pilots. Owners of a broken or crashed heli may be wondering, \u201cwhat can I do with a broken RC helicopter?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broken RC helicopters can usually be repaired. Identify the broken components, order replacements, and use them to repair the helicopter. Otherwise, broken RC helicopters can be used to salvage parts for other RC craft, for building something new, or can be sold in the second-hand RC community.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A broken RC helicopter is a sorry sight, but a crash or some broken components do not have to be the end of the heli. There are several uses for broken RC helicopters, and they can often be repaired back to full working order. Let\u2019s explore what to do with a broken RC helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do With A Broken RC Helicopter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Owning and flying a radio-controlled helicopter is incredible fun until something goes wrong with the machine or the helicopter is crashed. This is a common occurrence, especially among beginner RC pilots and small RC helicopters. This leaves the pilot with the question, what to do with the helicopter now that it\u2019s broken?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several avenues to take with a broken RC helicopter. The fact that the helicopter has been in a crash or some other incident causing damage does not mean that the helicopter is useless, and it does not necessarily mean that the machine will never fly again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most obvious route to take is attempting to repair the RC helicopter<\/strong>. This is a challenging undertaking and should only be attempted by someone who has the patience and skills to complete such a task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to salvage functioning parts from the RC helicopter to use as spare parts for other machines<\/strong>. This is a good option if the helicopter is broken beyond repair. There still may be useable parts that can be employed to repair other RC helicopters that use compatible components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salvaged parts may also be used to construct an entirely new RC machine. This is a good option for the very experienced RC builder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last option available for most broken RC helicopters is to sell the broken helicopter to an RC builder who can repair it or use the parts or take the broken machine apart and sell the functioning parts individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
