I agree drone is fun especially for beginners who has no experience in any RC aircraft, the convenient and easy control make the newbie pilot comfortable when the drone is in the air. However, in my mind, RC helicopter is still the king of radio control models in terms of skills, knowledge, and maintenance.
If you are a die hard traditional helicopter fan, it's not the best time for you, as the cost of RC heli is getting lower, and the quality and design keeps improving, which you can see from the newer products from Align, the air frames are getting lighter, the motors are getting more powerful, and the costs are amazingly going lower, which is a good news for you(and me).
Don't miss the chance if you are still into RC heli world as before.
