Are RC helicopters the same as those things you see in lots of shopping centres usually promoted/sold at one of those small booths for like $50-$60? Or do you mean the professional RC helicopters?

Nah, RC heli's arn't that dangerous, Jason, you need to get into electric gliders, much more fun...and much more expensive!
Still, 400kph straight and level with a model is pretty awesome....
I actually know the guy who holds some of the distance records for RC heli's...They fly them down public (dirt) roads standing out the sun roof to get distance, he went to the york worlds shown in the video below, as did my father....
