There are several different types of RC helicopters. The "best" model depends on whether you are looking for a smaller, rechargeable version, or a large, monster RC helicopter. For a small helicopter, models by Syma tend to have good reviews; for a larger model, the Blade brand tends to make many models.
RCA is a brand with a long history in television and radio. As such it is highly reputable. Although it no longer makes TVs itself, its brand is used by Sony - who are also a highly regarded manufacturer.
