Today, it is very easy for somebody to go into a store and walk out with a ready to fly rc helicopter. There are however, a lot of people who are opting to assemble their own because of the different perks that it presents. First and foremost, it is much cheaper if you have to assemble it yourself than buying the same models but ready to fly right out of the box. Another perk is the pure joy of putting it all together successfully. It is such an enjoyable affair that nowadays there are even conventions and competitions for this assembly.

• Know the exact model – Before you get a remote control helicopter and assemble it, you have to do your research and make sure to get the appropriate one for you. Each of them has a different ease of assembly. You do not want that you will never be able to complete. Choose a model that you are sure you can handle the assembly. For example, if you want one that you want your child to assemble on their own then you will go for a very easy model like the Mini Gyro. There are fathers who buy the very hard to assemble models because they want to use the long hours of assembly as a way of bonding with their child.

• Have a workstation where you are going to do all the assembling. This will keep pieces from getting lost and you will work more efficiently.

• Make sure all parts are at hand – Once you have bought your remote control helicopter and are ready for assembly, you are going to have to meticulously check to make sure that you have all the necessary parts. This has to be done immediately you get the plane so that if there are parts missing or damaged, you can immediately return the purchase to the store. You have to make sure that you have a cleared workstation before you begin so that you do not end up mixing up the parts with another project. So many people end up thinking they have finished the assembly process only to find that there are so many screws that were not used.

• Get and follow instructions – Before you begin the assembly of your remote control helicopter, you have to make sure that you have the proper instructions in hand. You may think you have the instructions when you purchased your box only to find the instructions in a foreign language you cannot comprehend. The instructions may be in your language but this does not mean that you cannot find simpler ones. Some are so hard to put together that you may need an instructor. You may find videos online today that can make work so much easier.

• Make sure that all parts are in the remote control helicopter before switching it on. If you discover in the end that you had missed something, take it all apart and begin from scratch before turning it on.
