From what I know about these things (which is very little), they use a standard two-stroke glow engine with a pressurized fuel delivery system. Hope that helps :beer:😀

That is correct. I fly R/C planes which basicly have the same engine/fuel system. The tanks are pressurized either by a seperate fuel pump (rarely) or more often by simply tapping into the muffler at the correct position and getting a little bit of positive pressure. I'd estimate that heli is going through between 1 and 1.5 ounces of fuel a minute. When you feed that through 1/8" tubbing that's little more then a constant drip.

I've heard they're REALLY hard to fly. I used to fly model airplanes and was really fun until they crashed =/ RC helicopters cost like 5x more so you'd have to either be rich or talented to fly em like that 😛

You are a jackass. Let's see you do any better, dumbfvck.
 
very impressive, like others here I also used to fly planes and wanted to go into choppers but heard they were very very difficult and expensive to fly...ironically I was just talking to a guy at work about this today when I was looking at RC Tamiya and Associated cars on Ebay.
