how do rc helicopter brakes work?
JSk8ter asked:
I have seen many rc helicopters online and I have noticed some features such as brakes. How are the brakes used? Or is that just an automatic function of a rc heli? Also, I would like to know some local Helicopter stores like radio shack, because I really want to buy a Fly Eagle. Thanks.
$300-400 Priced Helicopters

They just throttle down,and the craft slows immediately.
I can’t answer for R/C birds, BUT…
A rotor brake on a real helicopter is a mechanical device that can be used to STOP the rotors, or permit the engines to be started and run-up without the rotors turning (it locks the rotors).
It would NOT be used in flight… stopping forward motion is done by bringing the cyclic back.
