There are a number of magazines available that cover the RC heli hobby. These are great for not only keeping up on the latest products but are also great resources for tips and tricks for the new flier and veteran alike.

RC Heli Magazine (http://www.rchelimag.com) — This is a great magazine that covers all RC Heli activities. Great reviews and setup information.

Model Helicopter World (http://www.modelheliworld.com) — Another good magazine. The only problem is it is a UK publication so some of the areas covered, and the ads, are not applicable to those of us on the other side of the pond.

RCM&E (http://www.modelflying.co.uk) — Another UK-based heli mag. I have not actually seen an issue of this publication.

Rotory Modeler Magazine (http://www.rotory.com) — Another dedicated heli magazine and it has been around ten years now. It has some good articles but is not professionally published and, as a result, the editing and writing suffer and the layout is amateurish. You can buy the back issues in pdf format.

Model Airplane News (http://www.modelairplanenews.com) — They have produced two nice heli issues (summer 2007 and winter 2008 ) titled Radio Control Helicopter. Hopefully they will do more. The regular mag usually has some heli coverage.

Sport Flyer Magazine (http://www.sportflyer.net) — Another good magazine with light heli coverage. They cover a lot of electric aircraft so there is some useful crossover there as well.

Backyard Flyer (http://www.backyardflyer.com) — They occasionally have some heli coverage and also cover electric flying.
