RC Helicopters

We at Cuckoo Gifts have chosen a range of rc helicopters that suits anyone from the beginner to the most advanced pilot. We also have selected a range of other models and products suitable for gifts and presents for those people that has almost everything but not one of these.

In the last 12 months there has been a huge import of rc helicopters to the UK, mainly from China and other Far East countries. and with new radio control helicopters being introduced all the time it is near impossible for a beginner or even the more experienced pilot to decide which electric helicopters would suit them best. 

Rc electric helicopters can be very complex machines, some more than others all our stock passes rigorous tests so that you can be confident we only sell reliable and robust electric R C helicopters, and all are flight tested before they are dispatched.

Recent rapid advances in micro electronic component technology and the introduction of Li-Poly batteries to the market has meant that rc helicopters can now achieve very long flight times and high performance characteristics that were previously only possible with radio control helicopters that were petrol driven. Now because of advances in micro technology and the products being available so cheaply, due to mass production in the Far East, rc electric helicopters can now far exceed the maneuverability and flight times of more traditional RC helicopters.

What you need to consider before buying R C helicopters ?

One of the most important things is the company you are purchasing from. are there hidden costs such as VAT ? or extras such as high delivery charges are the electric helicopters sent direct from China. drop shipped? drop shipping is when a supplier based in the UK takes your order and payment and then your R C helicopter is shipped direct from a supplier in China. Drop shipping firms usually have quite cheap prices in comparison to firms like us that hold a constant stock in the UK. But however you will have wait at least 2, weeks if not longer and then pay VAT and import duty and higher delivery costs and when your order enters the UK, making the price considerably higher than you originally thought.

Another important thing to look for is backup, when buying and flying your new rc helicopter it is likely at some point you damage it and you will need some spare parts these are carried by us for all of our models.

Doctor Who and all his friends from the TV series  

Doctor who is still one of the most watched & popular TV program's on the BBC,  and still holds the attention of viewers of all ages.

Tom Baker became the Doctor in late 1974. The former monk from Liverpool was working on a building site when the call came for him to step aboard the TARDIS and he often turned up for rehearsals in a white boiler suit. 

The charismatic star brought new energy to the series, reinventing the Doctor as a traveller who delighted in the sheer bravado of his adventures.

During Tom’s seven year reign, Doctor Who shifted from pastiches of horror film concepts to lighter, wittier stories. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy author Douglas

Adams was responsible for much of the surreal humour, as was the increasingly inventive Baker. A highlight of the era has to be the introduction of K9, a robot dog with a killer laser in his metallic snout.

The Fourth Doctor’s costume was inspired by a painting of French artist Tolouse Lautrec. The now legendary scarf was a happy accident - the result of a freelance knitter not realising she didn’t have to

use all the wool she had been given. Tom bid farewell to the role by falling off a radio telescope in a bid to thwart the Master.

In the 1950s kids hid behind the sofa when Professor Bernard Quatermass battled aliens on the BBC whilst ITV gave us Pathfinders in Space - the brainchild of Canadian Sydney Newman.

Fast forward to 1962 and Newman, now promoted to Head of BBC Drama, needed a new Saturday night family series to fit snugly between Grandstand and Juke Box Jury.

Concepts pitched for the show included telepathy, flying saucers, scientific trouble-shooters from the future - and a time machine. We all know who won.

Main stars of the show would be a couple of school teachers - the square-jawed Ian Chesterton and the improbably bouffant Barbara Wright. The teen audience could identify with Susan Foreman, one of their pupils.

Even if she was an alien Finally, a mysterious anti-hero in the mould of Conan-Doyle’s Professor Challenger would complete the line-up. He would be known only as ‘The Doctor’. Doctor Who?

Travelling in their time and space machine, the TARDIS, the Doctor and co. began their adventures on November 23rd 1963 by voyaging 100,000 years into Earth’s past to help some slightly dim cavemen discover fire
