A typical helicopter package consists of four elements:
1) The helicopter airframe.
2) The radio control equipment. This includes the actuators that physically control the helicopter, the transmitter
that you hold in your hands, the receiver, a gyroscope, and re-chargeable batteries and charger for both the transmitter
and receiver.
3) The engine. Usually a 2-stroke methanol fuelled engine, but sometimes 4 stroke, or electric, or petrol powered.
4) The starting equipment. Briefly, the requirements for starting the engines are:
- 1.5 volts supplied to the glow plug (similar to a spark
plug in a petrol engine).
- Something to turn the engine over.
- Fuel.

4) Starting Equipment
We have already mentioned the requirements for starting a model engine, this is straight forward enough. The selection of products to do the job can be somewhat confusing however. To keep things simple shown below are two examples of the equipment you may purchase to start your engine. Option 1 consists of the bare minimum, and option 2 consists of every thing you may need. Convenience is all that separates the options, they will both do the job
