About Hooked on Helis

Hooked on Helis is dedicated to the incredible world of RC helicopters. Our main focus is the UK scene – the pilots, events, clubs, and industry shaping this ever-evolving hobby. But we're also tuning in to what’s happening globally, bringing in stories, reviews, and experiences from around the world. Each episode dives into something different – from in-depth pilot interviews and honest reviews of the latest gear, to event recaps and behind-the-scenes chats with the people keeping the hobby alive.
