What's the difference between radio control helicopters,remote control helicopters and RC Helicopters ?
the other guy answered it wrong because he misread the question. Anyways.
Its just a major controversy between the meaning of these frequency driven vehicles. People call it many names. And from what I know, its been called 3 names. Radio Controlled, Remote Controlled, and RC. The wrongful terminology would be "Toy." It is like a Male could be called man, guy, dude or a female could be called gal, woman, or chick. Lets start from the basics. This might go in circles. RC is an abbreviation. Abbreviation of what? Remote Controlled and Radio Controlled. What are the differences? There are none. Because these vehicles are being driven by a radio or a remote. Same thing. A radio is called the remote because a remote controls something via a wireless source at a certain distance. Of course, because that is said, that would mean a radio would do the same job. A radio emits waves to a receiver which tells it what to do. It not only gives musical jingles out from a speaker! but also tells a little small computer thingy what to do! So radio would fall under that category. Lets say you dont know which to say. Then youd use RC! That or you are just lazy. Get it? Cool! Still dont get it? Message me!

Radio Controlled helicopters are model aircraft which are distinct from RC airplanes because of the differences in construction, aerodynamics, and flight training. Several basic designs of RC helicopters exist, of which some such as those with collective pitch are more maneuverable than others. Remote control as same as the radio control helicopters. There is a no such difference are there.
